    of all of the places I have eaten in Stockholm this is my absolute favorite. I almost hesitate to give this place five stars simply because I don't want the line or wait for reservations to get longer. The fair is quite traditional with a little bit of a modern twist. The reindeer is a must-try and don't expect too much sauce or a huge piece of meat, it is just enough to emphasize the different flavors and cooking style. Also worth your time is the Roe - not only is the presentation fantastic, The taste is really nice. That being said I did like v fermented Herring even better! We finished off with a couple of desserts, the chocolate, and the blueberry dish. we love them both and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The entire staff was friendly, helpful, and engaging. Again, you can't go wrong with anything absolutely on the menu though I am looking forward to trying the pork belly next time just to make sure I am right.

    Just wow. The food was amazing! Had one of my best food experiences with the mushroom plate and the Löjrom! Add great service and you’ll have a night you’ll never forget. Will definitely come back next time I’m in Stockholm.

    Shocked that we were able to walk in a grab a seat, but we must have gotten lucky. Everything from start to finish was delicious, beautifully presented, and one of our fav spots in Stockholm. Chatted with a couple next to us who visit regularly from the US and this restaurant is always on their hit list. Great value for money, service was attentive but not overbearing.

    There's little to add to this review that hasn't already been said in all the other glowing reviews: amazing and creative food highlighting Swedish cuisine beautifully, unpretentious, cozy, great service, and friendly patrons - make a new friend. If you don't have a reservation, show up before 4pm and try your luck for walk in seating! We had herring, salmon, pork belly, and turbot. ❤️

    Be ready for inventive food. The reindeer "provençal" and the arctic char were fantastic and so was the wine selection. The only thing we were disappointed with was that while you should be given the time to enjoy the experience you are almost kicked out at 7pm sharp for the second service. It won't stop us from coming back though ☺️

    Really nice experience. The level of food and service is very high. I totally recommend langoustine (Nordic lobster) starter and duck as a main. What I would not recommend is booking table after 8.30 pm because at 11 pm sharp you need to leave and there may not be enough time to enjoy your dinner.

    One of hardest restaurants in town to get a table. And it was definitely worth the visit. Well prepared food with interesting blend of tastes at a reasonable price in a casual laidback setting. Excellent service and recommendation of wine to the dishes. My favorites were the starter Kantareller med morot och lavendel and dessert - bakad vaniljkräm med salsa macadamianötter och getostskum. Yummy!

    Dear Lilla Ego team, I had a fantastic stay at your hotel and wanted to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The room was not only comfortable but also beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and stylish atmosphere. The attention to detail in both the design and service truly sets Lilla Ego apart. The on-site amenities and dining options exceeded my expectations, adding to the overall enjoyment of my stay. I highly recommend Lilla Ego to anyone looking for a top-notch hotel experience in a fantastic location. Thank you for making my visit memorable!

    This place.... out if this world! We got a drop in table at 8pm and enjoyed again a fantastic meal. Technically they can just put whatever on the table and I would love it. The presentation and combination makes every meal to an experience.

    💖💖💖Wow, I can't get over this amazing experience! Despite my many food allergies, the Lilla Ego team was able and willing to adapt their menu for me. They discussed it before so everything was planned before I even joined. The kindness and compassion of the whole team is as amazing as the food. I can't thank you all enough for this life changing restaurant experience. 💖💖💖💖

    This might be Stockholms worst kept secret. But it’s amazing, every time, and it’s not just the food, service is consistently on point.

    The food is awesome and the service is good too but the environment is a bit too crowded. Table spacing is too tight it might make you feel a bit stressed and quite noisy in the restaurant. Other than that everything is good. It’s a small restaurant with really good food. The toilet is not clean I was a bit afraid to go in to be honest but I don’t have any other choice🥲

    Scheduled this place two years ago but relinquished my booking due to Sweden's strategy around covid. Glad to have crossed this off my list, but based on the current flavour profiling, once is enough for me. The venue itself is super cosy and only seats a scarce few tables. There's no- sign branding. I can see why the exclusivity might be part of the appeal to return patrons, but it can be also argued that the place is so well known the exclusivity is not in knowing about the place but getting a booking. Not too difficult if you book a few weeks in advance. Ordered two starters, a veal tartelet and tuna tartare; a main, entrecote; and a dessert, raspberry sorbet. And was mildly disappointed? The sourdough's nutty butter and tartlette were probably the menu's highlights. This was still, by all accounts, great value- great presentation- and great concept. But each of the dishes was a little too imbalanced, and all elements of each dish almost too strong that it became strangely acidic. Sweden is perhaps (colloquially) well known for tasteless, bland food. I feel like they really tried to be anything but this, and in that process, overcompensated. Having said that, dishes here are certainly better than the standard culinary experience Stockholm has to offer, but on the palate, it still missed the mark. The raspberry sorbet was more reminiscent of gelati, but decent flavour profile overall. Good acidity and freshness, with a nice creamy kick. The pinot noir stood out better than all the dishes, great versatility across the different proteins, soft and juicy, like strawberry and red fruit flavoured wine. Nommy! The service from the waiting staff was great though, if I ever return to give this another go, it'll be because of the them.

    So Lilla Ego is worth all the hype and is definitely worth a visit. It's a small place but without the annoying noise levels you would normally expect. The service was lovely, our waitress was attentive and the wait times were very reasonable. Now the dishes look like Michelin Star dishes, and most of them were quite tasty, but I have to admit that the portions were quite small. We had starter, main, and desert, and I had to have another snack when we left 😅 Overall if you want the Michelin experience without paying an arm and a leg, this is the place to go.

    Even after years, it's still hard to get a table at LillaEgo, but it's worth the wait every time. This time, too, we were simply thrilled by the creativity and the taste experience. The dishes have an incredible depth and every bite reveals a new facet of the dish that is worth exploring. The service is just unbelievably nice and the prices are great considering the quality.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Stockholm. They have a very creative and delicious menu, the staffs are super friendly. The only problem I have is that it is super hard to make a reservation :D

  • 3/5 Felipe L. 10 months ago on Google
    Cozy restaurant with friendly staff but confusing food. My herring starter was extremely sweet and I simply could not finish the dish. The duck main course was balanced and delicious, great texture and earthy flavors. Good wine, good prices.

  • 5/5 William P. 7 months ago on Google
    Very inventive delicious flavor combinations, outstanding service, unpretentious and welcoming … highly recommended

  • 5/5 Andrea R. 1 year ago on Google
    Literally the best dinner I've ever had. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. The food is truly excellent. Flavor, textures and experience are just everything you could ever want them to be. On the same line, the service was great. Besides having experience-oriented food, they use seasonal ingredients. Honestly, I want to keep going back to try every new dish. We spent 165€ (2 people) for a very special experience. Can't recommend it enough!

  • 5/5 Richard W. 6 months ago on Google
    Worth the hype! Managed to scoop up a reservation by putting our names on the waitlist. Interior is small and cozy and well decorated. Each dish was incredible, with the arctic char and blacked cod being the standouts. Service was impeccable as well. Was our favorite restaurant in Stockholm and will definitely come back the next time I'm in town.

  • 5/5 Luke C. 1 year ago on Google
    One of our best meals in Stockholm by far. A delicious multi course meal where every stage leaves you more impressed than the last. Highly recommend their cocktail list as well.

  • 5/5 Derek U. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was stunning and amazing. Downstairs room was intimate for business dinner. Waiter was amazing and hilarious. Will certainly be back soon.

  • 5/5 Beatrice R. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth the hype. Fantastic flavour pairings and creative dishes. Every mouthful a treat. We sat at the bar which was great fun. Expensive but truly special. Can’t wait to return.

  • 5/5 Viktoria O. 1 year ago on Google
    Was lucky to go for dinner to that unique place while in Stockholm:) taste has been interesting and not run-of-the-mill 😋

  • 5/5 Ken S. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful trip to two cities with completely different characters. The first traditional, picturesque and beautiful, the second modern, trendy and vibrant. Interesting museums and nice restaurants in both of them. Going around on bikes. Very expensive, so you need to have control of your expenses. Love them both for their originality.

  • 5/5 Dave M. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite restaurant in the city by far. For the incredible quality of food it's decent value. Flavours are really big and interesting and casual/effortless service which is attentive but not stuffy. Book well in advance as it's completely worth it. Some super wines too?

  • 5/5 James K. 2 years ago on Google
    SUBLIME. Every dish is gorgeous and tastes even better than it looks. An intimate space with unpretentious staff serving modern food inspired by Scandinavian tradition. A Stockholm must.

  • 5/5 Tomas S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing service, real deal food and crazy good chocolate dessert ;)

  • 5/5 Annlo T. 2 years ago on Google
    Simply the best! Magic! Best value for money and taste.

  • 5/5 Mihnea M. 2 years ago on Google
    Ridiculously well put together cuisine in what must be one of the best places to eat in Stockholm. Very casual and unpretentious vibe. Get the shredded hash browns with roe (it's quite a famous dish), the pork belly and the duck. Reserve your table well ahead.
