Review of Två små svin – by Charlotte A.

9 months later and I have now finally visited two small pigs located about 100 meters from my apartment. This little gem runs all in on Danish smörrebröd, beer and Akvavit and which together with Palmyra kebab and Årsta Konditori on the same street makes the District one of my favourites.
Initially, two small pigs have the most cosiest outdoor terrace in Stockholm. I love it but is not really anything really special since they only built up a large veranda at the height/mountains and exhibited a bunch of furniture and lamps. But they have succeeded in creating a nice meeting place that is suitable for both a date, family dinner or simpler "förfest" with the 0.5 liter large Czech beer they serve. The staff is super friendly, the service very good and they are read about the different dishes/components on the plate which facilitated me with the decision Anxiety Deluxe when I saw the menu. Also a great factor that makes the whole place cozy... It really shows what dedication and passion is behind the concept. A large and wide range of beers and spirits for those who like it but when I am not the target group for this, I am also not the right man to give an arbitrary assessment. My company was in any case got a nice tip!
It was recommended with two butter bread per person and I and my company drove on this. The menu is perhaps also revealed on the name is inspired by Dammark but there were all a little Swedish classics such as Toast-Skagen, vendace Roe from Lake Vänern (which makes me proud when I come from Lidköping) and a Salisbury steak with cream cooked onion, pickled cucumber and lingonberries. Who doesn't want a sandwich with a steak and creamy sauce as well?
We got into a puff bread at a time and started with the cold. I ordered their roast beef number 1 as it was partly described divinely with French potato salad, egg yolk, horseradish and roasted onion but also when I saw pictures of the mountain. And I probably never had anything like that. It was really a mountain with roast beef and now in retrospect it would have been absolutely enough with just that. They should definitely have a plus in the edge when they were very nicely laid out and made it look appetizing. As for the flavors so tasted what was on the menu. May think that the meat was a bit badly seasoned and unsalted but when you ate it together with the creamy egg, got the sweetness from the crispy onion and the piquant crisp taste from the pepper root was good. The potatoes did neither to nor from but contributed absolutely to the terrible feeling of satiety I had. The textures were in their place but unfortunately the whole piece was uneven and at the end there was only roast beef and a little bit of rye bread left on the plate. After this soon came my second puff bread and this time but warm pannbiff. This missing also salting but asked for some salt and then it was good gun. The creamy onion, lingonberries and cucumber were simple in their tastes but I lacked a bit more pressure. Otherwise, this was also nicely composed and I thought they succeeded in combining Denmark and Sweden.
While I can understand the hype, I don't fully agree with the tribute choir here. To begin with, this type of food is not my favorite which I also tried to overlook in my judgement but if it lacks the flavors, no matter what is served, I naturally lower the grade. Don't misinterpret me now because it was good, but that "wow experience" I thought I'd be getting through... It shined with its mere absence. Maybe I took the wrong option or would have drunk a beer to complete the order as the waiter said... But I'm not fully sold. Can definitely think of going back and try with varieties or just bring a fatten bunch and sit on the outside terrace a warm summer evening and sip on a drink. Maybe you should learn to drink beer...
