Oaxen Krog Slip - Stockholm

Came here after spending the day at the museums. It was recommended by a friend and we managed to snag a couple of bar seats since all the tables were booked! Great ambiance and view of the slip. Ordered Grog (lemonades with different spirits) w/ gin ginger (5/5), mint rum (4/5) Smoked prawns with garlic aioli (5/5) Herring with warm potato salad and egg (5/5) Grilled duck breast with black currant (5/5) Fries with smoked aioli (4/5) Dessert crumble with thyme ice cream (4/5) Everything was amazing! One of my favorite places in Stockholm.

The food is right on point and it is a very good modern take on swedish food. The service however was a bit lagging. I think it was only the issue with that particular waitress but we waited forever to order or to get anything and we actually needed to track her down a couple of times. She didnt seem that happy about our presence either : Other than that, everything was perfect. I really enjoyed the meal :

They were able to fit us in for my husband's birthday celebration which we really appreciated. We split the ribeye with bone marrow. Was super yummy. I wish they would've served bread with the marrow as that's how I like to eat it. Other than that it was a good experience and we'd go back. I wouldn't recommend for children, and my kids eat everything.

It's always a great idea to go to Oaxen Slip after a lovely stroll on Djurgården. The nautical interior in this airy restaurant is very inspiring, and the view over Saltsjön just outside the windows is simply wonderful and very relaxing. The modern Nordic cuisine that is being served by the knowledgeable and attentive staff is very ambitious and delicious. The menu is varied and it is advisable to order dishes for sharing. This is something that appeals to me since I like to share the food and discuss what's on the table : I would advise booking a table here a few days before you plan to go. Besides, try one of their homemade lemonades they are incredible.

Category: Romantic. Special Occasion. Elegant, yet casual. OK, so Oaxen Slip is definitely a gorgeous restaurant. It's right be the water, which is an added bonus. And the service is great too. The problem is, that the food is only so so. And the prices are pretty high too. Here are my ratings: Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Value: 3/5 We were greeted by a very friendly staff, and opted for a seat on the patio because it was a beautiful day and we wanted to be by the water. But the patio was over crowded and the table was placed in the middle of a walkway. Not a great start. But we were moved to a different table promptly. The food turned out to be rather disappointing. And there weren't too many options either, especially for fish. Here are the details. Bread basket 5/5. Excellent bread with some nice home churned butter. Mackerel Appetizer (SEK 175) 2/5. This dish was a total flop. It was tiny morsels of fish, sitting at the bottom of a bowl covered by what appeared to be veggie foliage. I had to dig past the foliage to get to the tiny morsels of fish. And it was expensive for what you get. The only redeeming quality was the nice citrus dressing. Charcuterie (SEK 95) 2/5. Yet another flop. The dish consisted only of salami (which was very mediocre) and some other cured meat (which was pretty tasty). But there was nothing else, no cheese not even a pickle. At least the price was reasonable. Fish Special (SEK 345) 3/5. The fish wasn't a great fish. It was very bony. And it was served with a cream sauce that was way too salty. And if that wasn't salty enough, there were slices of chewy pancetta which was even saltier. We skipped on desert. Having said that, I think that this restaurant is still worth a visit if only for the great ambiance.
