I lower the grade to a four, even though the food actually served is a fiver. It bothers me that one of Stockholm's absolute best places can't have a better handle on allergies. I usually start from the "bad restaurants take away, good replaces" principle, and not even have gluten-free until the food chafes for me. Also, if there's some tasty crunch or so on then it's just removed, not replaced if you ask for it. I get that you can't allergy the whole world, but it also makes the grade four plus.
Anyway, yesterday we were there eating rainbow trout and matjessill for starters, both were stable. The house's foam to was cruel, treat yourselves to that thug between the cavan and the champagne, it's worth the'et! But the main courses HELLO, so my sailor duck was absolutely magical. Perhaps the best duck I've eaten. My company ate the Nobel hot dish, which according to the statement was really good. For dessert, we shared the baked vanilla cream with goat cheese foam, it was so satanic good. But it will unfortunately be an André Pops, something that is stable but can never be five-plus as long as they are doing gluten-free in this way.

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!

April 2020, 20:30 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.
