Reviews of Lilla Ego

Translate to English »

Kom till Lilla ego med glädje då vi visste vilka ägarna var. Fantastiskt! Så härligt med en avskalad och enkel inredning 😊 Det är inte den jag är ute efter även om det också är viktigt i sig. Maten då? Underbar förrätt - matjessill, kan man göra något med den, jo minsann- ren NJUTNING och ett konstverk i sig…Både varmrätt, entrecote (kanske något salt - min smak- men verkligt god ändå) ljuvlig dessert 😋 och en supertrevlig servitör!!! Vi smakade av varandras och skrattade gott, den var ju också God!! Vi hade en härlig kväll och hit vill vi komma tillbaka (kräver dock en timmes flygresa)😊 jag tycker så mycket om den sköna atmosfären där man kan vara sig själv utan att ständigt ”rätta till slipsen” Maten är i TOPPKLASS!!!
Tack för mig och oss och LYCKA TILL
mvh/ Carin från Västerbotten

Clearly FIVE stars! My expectations for this place before the visit yesterday were about sky-high and maybe even a little higher than that. Thought before that maybe it would be so that the food and experience did not meet my expectations, but OJOJ! What a food, what a service, what a place to do! The appetizer made the hair on his arm stand up and the main course equally so. Recommend to everyone and already long for the next visit. Finally understand the hype and why it's so damn hard to book a table...

I've finally been to Little Ego! The history books have claimed that people have actually managed to get a table here, but after many attempts, I have almost waved the whole restaurant away as a mythological entity that has ever made up, to keep people's hopes up. Hopes were incorporated.

The restaurant is small (20-30 seats?) which explains that it is difficult to book. Intimate, relaxed and charming. Nowadays you also bring quite a lot of drop-in into the bar and on the outdoor terrace so it is really worth taking a chance if you are flexible.

Reuses the piece above: the staff is fantastic, which explains that it is so difficult to book. Intimate, relaxed and charming. When we each ordered a beer before dinner, two chilled cans were conjured out of our pockets and just when we were asked if you could remove the chorizo oil (from the otherwise pescetaric dish), the waiter had time to explain that it is possible but is not recommended. Extremely experienced or some kind of black magic - 50/50.

And then there's the food. What to say? Literally thoughtful where you are often asked to include all the layers to enjoy each bite to the fullest. Ate a classic starter+main course+dessert and all were top class. Perhaps clichéd but throughout was that all dishes get everything: acidity, sweetness, fat, heat, ash, saltiness (dare I throw in umami?). Crispy, smooth, crunchy, creamy and all the things that you only appreciate when you experience it.

Be worried before that my white choice Little Ego would "only" be a stable four in grades but after the visit the fifth grade is clear. Top marks throughout. One of a handful of really good restaurants you feel it's worth coming back to several times a year without it feeling boring.

The room from the outside gives a very sober impression and you are met by a nice kid! Here the atmosphere is relaxed and familiar. Right now during Corona times, there is very generous space between the tables.

First in comes warm bread with grated butter topped with roasted sunflower seeds. Tasty and easy! We took their champagne which was very tasty. Next, I ordered the parsnip and Wilma chose the beetroot.
The beetroot was really sick, among the best I've eaten in the main course vegetarian. It had true WOW factor. The parsnip was good but did not reach nearly the same complexity and depth.

Then dessert that became baked chocolate cream and W took passion fruit sorbet. I'm a sucker for chocolate, peanuts and toffee sauce so my dessert was really a dream. Then being able to combine it with tasting fresh and tangy passion fruit sorbet broke it off in an amazing way. A magical ending at an already high level.

In conclusion, I just want to mention that the service was really among the better in Stockholm. Here it is cozy and the tableware tells and explains things with empathy.
The décor is quite rustic and the lighting is very warm. This in combination really creates a familiar and cozy feeling!

Bästa kvarterskrogen i stan.

You can have opinions about the venue!
But there it stops, the food is among the best Stockholm performs, the detail work is indescribable if you have not eaten there, difficult to explain.

The lobster dish for starter gastronomic erotica !
The meat dish of main course gastronomic pornography 🤩

Fast and super nice serving staff with a close eye on the small restaurant and väääldigt relaxed, just as it should be.

Absolutely the best restaurant in Stockholm (maybe Sweden) right now if you want to eat really good and well-balanced food with a tweak. Super lovely service with "a pat on the back" standard that makes it familiar and pleasant while keeping the food at an extremely high and qualitative level.

In a small room in Vasastan, the santa glosses scent is dense. Someone has just celebrated their birthday. A short, fun menu and a happy hello in the door. Expectations are high for this hyped tavern. In addition, Tom Sjöstedt is a big favorite, in life and on the cookbook shelf. Me and my company order Roe for 2 people (SEK 235 p person), Turbot with savoy cabbage, cucumber and barbecue mayonnaise (SEK 345), Clean with mushrooms Jerusalem artichoke and pepper (SEK 325), Sea buckthorn ice cream with brownie and chocolate ganache for 2 people (SEK 135 p person) and an Apple ice cream with ginger, spruce shoots and butter-browed crumbs (SEK 135).

So why don't I love Little Ego? All dishes, including dessert, have an all too tangible saltiness. First bite, very tasty, a whole plate? No. Raw materials are overpowered by salt and butter, which means that they do not come into their own. Maybe this was an extra stressful day, my company testifies that it has been better on a previous visit, but in all honesty, when a griddle with raw rockets costs SEK 470, I expect more. The dishes are beautifully decorated, and that in itself creates hopes for balance and thoughtful flavor combinations, which I unfortunately don't feel are delivered at this point. Like the apple ice cream dessert, for example, where spruce shoots and small ginger pieces (both very sharp flavors) run over the mild apple ice cream.

Other curiosities: The waiter spills the table neighbor's wine on another guest, doesn't apologize, and then waits 20 minutes before replacing it with a new one. My party asked for an extra slice of bread for their bowl of butter while waiting for the food, the waitress replies "only one per person". Personally, I thought the dry piece of bread was reminiscent of an SJ roll.

Will most likely give Little Ego another chance, below reviews suggest that there is more to be gleaned here.

Wow, that's awesome! 👏

Simple menu where they also have a complementary menu on the wall.
Everything sounds so good that you hardly know what to choose.

Appetizer, Lobster and raw marinated tuna dish. Both were magical!

Main course, turbot and cod. Magic!

Dessert, chocolate on sea buckthorn. Sea buckthorn on chocolate. It's called that. Any questions? It is for 2 pers. Delight to the eye and mouth!

The service was great! Lovely, cheerful and good watch on the guests. If you are unsure of what to order, just ask the staff.

Even though they sat "on" each other when it was very crowded, I am still more than happy with everything. The food is like gold in your mouth.

Do I need to say anything more? No! Book asap! Risk of 3 months of waiting time. Now I'm going to schedule another visit.

Magically good! Top quality on short but magical ala carte menu. 30 seats. Relaxed and homely. Very popular so often several months of queue time for tables. However, drop-in places are available at the bar, so hope for the best.

Wow, that's really awesome, in every aspect. Absolutely sick good, service impeccable and the environment is nice precisely because it is not so made. When we were here for the first time, I was as impressed as today. Appetizer, main course and dessert, all were top 10. Unfortunately, I don't remember all the tastes, but they married each other well (our wedding day too). We took different wines for all dishes, recommended by the staff and also the delicious ones. Prices are really good on par with what is served. We'll be back, we're sure of that.

A neighborhood gem that gets 4.5 stars from me. In addition to really good food with exciting flavor combinations, the service always delivers on top. I ate an appetizer with tuna, coconut foam, wasabi and cauliflower that was so good that we had to take in two of it. Something that is happy to improve is the range of better wines by the glass. Go here!
