Restaurant Pelikan

We had a wonderful evening at Pelikan, where both the service and the atmosphere were a solid 5 stars. The historic, high-ceilinged dining room creates a fantastic vibe that feels uniquely Swedish. We started with the Bleak Roe, which was absolutely amazing and easily the highlight of the meal. However, the main course was a bit of a letdown. We all ordered the traditional meatballs, but found the texture felt more like a processed sausage than a classic meatball. Compared to the ones we had in Old Town, these just didn’t hit the mark. It’s a beautiful spot for a drink and appetizers, but the meatballs weren’t quite what we expected. We felt a bit pressured by the tipping prompts on the card machine and ended up leaving 15%, which we later realized is quite high for Sweden.

Great place!

Considered one of the oldest restaurant in Stockholm specializing in Swedish food. The restaurant did not disappoint. The food was exceptional, especially their meatballs and the herring plate as well as braised ox cheeks great service, excellent atmosphere highly recommend.
