Klas Lindberg took over his Sankt Eriksplan premises in July 2015 and began his Portal project. A year later he opened the doors to his new restaurant, which two years later was joined by its own bar, food studio and a chambre séparée. The common denominator for all these elements is uncomplicated gastronomy.

The emphasis is on clear flavours and the best quality ingredients, paired with and heightened by great drinks to offer a unified gastronomic experience. All ingredients are carefully selected for a seasonal, constantly changing menu. Food is made with lactose-free dairy products and there are always vegetarian and vegan alternatives. As well as the à la carte menu you can choose from the daily specials written up on the blackboard.

Chef restaurateur Klas Lindberg has won awards including Chef of the Year and, together with his team, the gold medal in the Culinary Olympics. Portal is his first restaurant; he has previously worked at restaurants including PM & Vänner in Växjö and three Michelin-starred Arpège in Paris.

Portal Bar next door is the restaurant's naughty little sister. Portal also has a food studio where they develop their culinary skills but is also used for cookery courses and various events. Up to 34 people can sit at the large table in their private chambre séparée section at the back of Portal Bar.

During the summer months you can eat outside on Portal's large outdoor dining area on the square outside.

Edit 2022: Been here again and thought it was better now, raising the rating a notch. Still far from floored though, but it barely manages the 4.

Original review 2017: High expectations disappointed me relatively. Nice but boring room, especially if you sit upstairs which we had to do, not...

Good Place and food but I find that the dish I ordered have less cooked mushrooms else no complaints. :)

Jahaaaa, det är såhär en bra lunch ska smaka! Varför har ingen sagt något?

Ooooetroligt vällagad lunch med fina råvaror och extra finess. Åt en fisk Wallenbergare och undrade vad det var frågan om, så jäkla gott.

Otrolig...

Jag hade väldigt höga förväntningar på denna restaurang, då de vunnit priser etc. Dessvärre uppfyllde inte mina förväntningar. Jag gillar verkligen lokalen och riktigt bra service. Ostron som jag tog som förrätt var riktigt bra. Till huvudrä...

My review is pondered on my visit for 1.5 years ago so there is a chance that it may have changed.
I had high expectations when I visited the Portal after reading several reviews about the place. The location is very nice. When we came in we were greeted by a stimmig and comfortable environment...

Avser en lunch. Portal är bra, mysigt och perfekt när man känner för en lite finare lunch. Jag åt inkokt lax som tyvärr var på gränsen till för rå i mitten, men den slank såklart ned tillsammans med goda tillbehör. Hade väntat mig...

Lunch & Dinner
Here you know the combination of ingredients, tastes and conjures up an ingenious meal.
Säsongbaserat, simple but far from simple.
Quite simple a person who loves his job, can his job and must have been a magician in his last life. We talk about the owner of this...

Lite dyr för att vara lunchrestaurang, men bra kvalité. Lite fine dining-varning.

En utav mina stockholmsfavoriter! Råbiffen är guld. Smårätter i baren, ett gott vin och avsluta med en ostbit. Mums. ÄLSKAR inredningen, nordiskt i förstaklass!

Ger den här mysiga kvarterskrogen 3,5 stjärnor. Jag hade förväntat mig att mitt andra besök på restaurangen skulle vara lika bra som mitt första besök för två år sedan, men tyvärr innehöll kvällen en del moment som kan för...

Visited the Portal recently for a Friday dinner with relatively low expectations which unfortunately was true well into the real world. We had a waitress who either had a very bad day (all is well-people), or so she was simply very tired of his job. We ate oysters and "Love Stew" for appet...

Vi åt en rätt som bestod av tre olika sorters lamm. Lammfilé, lammkorv och lanmbog. Underbart god. Det bara smälte i mun. Rekommenderas varmt.Trevlig atmosfär. Vi satt en trappa upp. Mycket trevlig personal.

Top notch, skön personal m ledig och personli stil, maten över förväntan!!!

Woefully! Have eaten there before and it was mediocre. Wanted to take a glass of wine tonight and then we heard "you can well tänga you into the bar if you really want" even though there was room. Good service? No, according to me.

There are reviews that have been filtered out from the overall rating, since they in some way violate Thatup's review guidelines.

This review has been filtered out from the total rating, as it somehow violates Thatsup's guidelines for reviews.

distressingly weak and slow service of beautiful but completely uninterested staff who did not voluntarily asked if the food tasted good, if something is missing, poured up more water etc. Swedish service at its worst. Sharpening! Avoid calf rights.
