Restaurant Gondolen

Gondolen equally seen from Slussen
 I believe nigh towns in addition to cities receive got that 1 mainstay eating seat where businessmen receive got visiting clients, husbands receive got wives for anniversary dinners in addition to locals receive got out-of-towners who they desire to impress. While at that topographic point are a few restaurants inward Stockholm that autumn into this category... Gondolen is the 1 that comes commencement to heed for me! Established inward 1979, it has been or in addition to therefore awhile too, which way that nigh Stockholmers receive got been at that topographic point in 1 trial or twice. I visited the eating seat today for simply 1 of these reasons... a luncheon celebrating a friend's 40th birthday.

Views towards Slussen in addition to Gamla Stan
The eating seat is owned yesteryear celebrity chef Erik Lallerstedt (since 1994) and, inward fact, the restaurant's total cite is Erik's Gondolen. The food, Swedish/international cuisine, is great, but what actually brings inward the guests yr afterwards yr is the fantastic views. Located on the heights of Södermalm, where the locks dissever the isle from Gamla Stan, it has impressive views of the harbour, Djurgården in addition to (of course) Gamla Stan. It is difficult to immature lady the restaurant... it sticks out from the Södermalm heights similar a pier, amongst its cite emblazoned on the side. That, in addition to the digital clock & thermometer on the terminate of the restaurant, has made it a Stockholm landmark.

To larn to the eating seat from the Rival Hotel is really easy... simply a x infinitesimal walk! You tin either operate into the eating seat using an rear from the bottom of the edifice at Slussen, or yous tin operate into the dorsum way, across the bridge, from the foursquare Mosebacke Torg. One give-and-take of warning... this is a eating seat that needs a niggling advanced planning to visit. Because of its popularity, 1 should majority a tabular array at to the lowest degree a calendar week or in addition to therefore inward advance (in social club to locomote guaranteed a table). I frequently larn guests who come upwards to me inward the early on eventide in addition to desire me to majority them a tabular array the same evening. Difficult! If no tables are available, I ordinarily recommend that they see the restaurant's cocktail bar, which is really good, receive got a drinkable in addition to taste the views earlier heading to some other eating seat for dinner. Another adept tip is that during the summertime months they receive got a roof-top (open air) barbecue eating seat equally well, which is on drop-in ground only... no reservations!
