Strandhotellet

Went for Oktoberfest. Lovely place!

Came for something to eat and drink The place is really nice and staff super friendly and helpful. Only lost a star due to the basic menu. Nothing local only hamburger, pizza, fish or steak. Maybe a Scandinavian dish would be good.

Before you read this, I just want to excuse myself beforehand for my language. My girlfriend and I entered the restaurant with high expectations, as it looked nice and we had heard good things about it. The staff was very friendly—especially the two girls serving us, who were polite and professional throughout. Nothing to improve in that regard. Then came the appetizers. We both ordered the carpaccio. I was looking forward to this, as I eat carpaccio often and was expecting a nice, tender layer of beef with truffle mayo, pine nuts, parmesan, and arugula. Instead, we were served a mix of beets, red onion, capers, and other odd additions. This was very disappointing, though I take some responsibility for not reading the menu carefully (it was only in Swedish). Moving on to the main course: I ordered the burger, and my girlfriend had the pepperoni pizza. At first glance, the food looked fine—but this was misleading. • The burger: the meat was completely unseasoned, the fries were under-salted, and overall it tasted very bland. • The pizza: while it was acceptable, it was topped with raw, cold pieces of mozzarella, which took away from the experience. Overall, it was a very disappointing meal. The only positives were the excellent service from the staff and the two Coronas with lime, which I actually enjoyed more than the food itself. Unfortunately, this was not a good dining experience. I would not recommend this restaurant. 👎👎👎
