Review of Ichi – by Adam L.

Had a very nice evening at Ichi yesterday. Very neat place, and as always on these ambitious (semi) luxury taverns you will be taken care of in the absolute best way. We sat in a "booth" that was significantly shielded from the rest of the restaurant. has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on what one is looking for. Normally I would probably sit in the murmur, but yesterday it was perfect. The rest of the restaurant, which I really only saw when I walked in and out, was, as I said, really nice with a dark environment and dark green marble table. Even the toilet was very impressive.
The reason why I call it semi in parenthesis before Lyxkrog is because the tasting menu "only" costs 670 KR, which is far below most others in this class. At the same time, choose enough 90% bento-Snackslådan (pic 1) for 100 kr/person before and the beverage is not cheaper than anywhere else. But it is certainly cheaper than most places with the same level of ambition. It is nicely presented, innovative and advanced.
But it must of course be very good too, and I did not think it was. I was not even close to falling off the chair on a single right, which I expect in a place like this. And when most of it is not even "very good" so you will be disappointed. The bread and some "invite dishes" and snacks were very good (but certainly not "wow"!), while most "real" dishes were good and some "like that". In total I would give the food 3/5, and then I ignore the fact that there was no right or two that I did not even ate up because I know it is because I myself am a bit picky and there are some things I have a hard time for. Everyone in the party agreed that they were disappointed with the food. One of them had also been there once before and thought it was better today (but far from good).
Hope they raise the food a level, because the rest is clean. But the food weighs heavily when you go out and eat, extra heavy in these places.
