    Extremely disappointing reception from the security guard. A party of four, consisting mature females and lovely 25-year-olds normally residing in New Zealand were refused entry as he perceived one of the party being too intoxicated- which couldn’t be further from the truth - 3 drinks over 4-5 hours doesn’t make a male too intoxicated to enter another establishment. We have never met a more rude person in hospitality. I strongly suggest you educate your staff to make appropriate judgement call on who’s too drunk to get in and who’s not. Very bad first impression of Sweden- I recommend people taking their business elsewhere!!! Don’t go to this place

    Spend your money and time elsewhere I had just arrived in Stockholm after 5 years away from my family, I took my family there and the security at the door refused my 25yo nephew who had driven from Ludvika for our family night. Apparently he was over the limit. Yet only after having 1 beer at dinner two hours earlier. I used to go here a lot. To see a power hungry, irresponsible and disrespectful man on the door was appalling. He rudely disrespected my wife after she calmly tried to explain to him. A short tempered bald man allowed obviously intoxicated people walk past us without a glance while he continued to make excuses for why we weren’t allowed to enjoy one drink after dinner. Shocking, disappointing and tragic. Want to have fun with your loved ones? This is not the place And to owners : observe your staff more closely, they are losing you money and severely damaging your reputation.

    I’ve been here around 5 times before, so when my friends told me to have a dinner here I was happy 🙂. I came earlier and had some cocktails and olives. The olives come packed in a jar the same way you buy it in the supermarket instead of being home marinated as it usually is… after we went to the table and ordered more cocktails and drinks and chose our food. Me and my friend love to share every time we go eat out so that’s what we did. The tuna in the ceviche was not fresh and it didn’t had any citrins to hide it and it was missing salt as well. The tartare was cut in big squares which is not traditional and was very hard to chew, but the presentation of both dishes was very beautiful. The burger was good but the side sauce very basic. The chicken salad was missing 1 more chicken piece and the sauce was tasting fish too much and too salty. Also the rodding was over cooked. Overall the main courses presentation was not as beautiful as the starters. The desserts and espresso was perfect 👍 we also had trouble with the bill 3 times… I just want to say that this review is not to judge but yes to help to get better as I was there 5 other times and everything was great 🙂 hope this was helpful and see you soon for new experiences

    Food prices for me are quite normal, I could say even a bit low for being in one of the only rooftop restaurants in Stockholm. The drinks on the other hand are slightly more expensive. Food quality was good for us, quantity too. The salad that came with the chicken was a pleasant surprise. Service was friendly and fast. Nice atmosphere, not special. I just like that it's affordable.

    Great venue at what must be highest dining spot in town. Food was great although no flexibility for the fussiest eater in our group. Biggest issue was being rushed by unsmiling staff who were desperate to turn the table. They brought the bill without me asking and I had to point out that our reservation was for 2 hours. At least we got to finish our coffee!

    Beautiful view of Stockholm, sub par espresso martini, booked tables left unoccupied for hours despite customers waiting. But still worth a visit.

    Paikka oli aivan täynnä lauantai iltana. Kävimme juomassa vain yhdet drinkit eli saimme sen mitä halusimmekin. Paikassa todella vaikuttavat näköalat, jonka takia täällä olisi voinut viettää enemmänkin aikaa. Valitettavasti suuresta kävijä ja (ehkä myös alkoholin) määrästä paikassa oli todella äänekästä. Muiden ottamien kuvista päätellen vakuuttavan näköistä pimeällä, kun kaupungin valot loistavat ympärilläsi.

    Me, my boyfriend, my mother and her friend arrived after having a wonderful afternoon at Fjäderholmarna. We had had 3 drinks over 5 hours + so much food, and was refused entry because we were “too drunk”. I was absolutely mortified! The guard was incredibly rude, condescending and misogynistic. I have never had an experience like this in my life and it was hands down the most ridiculous thing I have ever experienced. I am extremely disappointed as I would have loved to show the beautiful Stockholm to my boyfriend who has never been to Stockholm before and arrived this morning. I would not recommend coming here because the guard will ruin your night.

    Great place. Nice rooftop view, small but satisfing menu. Good dishes, good drinks and attentive staff made it a great evening out. We ate on the top floor which we feel is a bit more vibrant that the lower floor.

    Loved it. Went to the bar and I don't even know where to begin. Let me talk about the staff. They were amazing, they looked after us and were very nice since the beginning. The food was delicious. I didn't like the sauce that comes with the steak, that's my personal taste. Loved the dessert, I though the creme brulee could be bigger. Now, what a view from there. Great choice for my last night in this lovely city.

    Poor service, bad organized and long waiting time for everything from time to be seated to getting food (1 hour) and even to pay (20 minutes and had to go to the counter to force them to pay) and this for a Thursday... can't imagine what happens during weekend....food was good but small portions and only the main dishes.

    So yes the place has a beautiful view, but the service is really not high standard. The food is regular French bistrot, nothing out of the ordinary, so basically overpriced. The French fries were cold, the meat was half cold and it took 45mn to get the food.. And when we arrived, we stood at the entrance while being checked out by the waiters (from afar) and we had to go to them in order to get placed and served. They weren’t even aware of our booking. No more for me. You lost a customer.

    My bf took me to celebrate my birthday with the incredibly beautiful view of Stockholm city at Himlen...I loved it! Everything was great and I was so happy with food, the services and the atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Jacopo C. 1 year ago on Google • 126 reviews
    Had a company team dinner here, we were not disappointed but also not necessarily impressed overall. What is def impressive is the view, very hard to find a better one in Stockholm, so def recommend for drinks with a view. The food was ok but nothing outstanding I would say, especially for the price, still in line with Stockholm avg tho. Give it a shot if you re in the area.

    It’s overrated! The food choices are pretty limited and the quality is average! Our steak was cold and it was no steak knife! The staff were nice & lovely.

  • 4/5 Marie-Cladie N. 10 months ago on Google • 40 reviews
    We only had drinks on a Friday night. We had a table immediately, which was super lucky. The drinks were okayish, the service not amazingly friendly, but the view was worth it. We had an amazing sunset ! I’d go again but if you want good cocktails and friendly staff, you can find better bars ☺️

    An Exellent rooftop Bar, with so much more than Music and Drinks. The food was 5 star, my neighbour kept moaning, ooh, ahh, soo good. And I agree Super place, it’s called heaven for a reason Music is quite loud, but atmosphere is amazing

    We went to the main restaurant (lower part) last night to eat a ’Christmas meal’ with five courses. We were not very impressed for the total price of 1200 SEK per person. The view of Stockholm was fantastic but the food and service were not. Some of the courses were bland and tasted too much of raw onion. The dessert was very hard and was probably not very fresh. The wine selection (vinpaket) was of the lower quality. We were asked to keep the used utensils between each course. Nobody told us what the different courses were until we asked. They brought the bill before we asked for it. It felt like they wanted us to leave to clear the table for the next guests (and there were no guests waiting). In fact the restaurant was half empty when we left. If we ever go back it is because of the view, but then we would have a burger or something similar. I'm giving 3 Stars only because the view of Stockholm is breathtaking.

  • 4/5 Стилиян �. 1 year ago on Google
    Great sky bar with a good selection of drinks and meals with very reasonable prices. Voting with 4 stars only becaus of the lack of enough chairs and place to leave your jacket.

  • 5/5 Allan N. 2 years ago on Google
    Been there with some friends this weekend and it was great, maybe one comment is that it was really packed and no one actually controlled the capacity, but drinks and people were great!

  • 5/5 Oleksandr G. 11 months ago on Google
    a good place to relax, it is advisable to come in the evening, you can see the panorama of Stockholm and an incredible sunset, the atmosphere is amazing👍🏻

  • 4/5 Wendy P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great view that extremely rarely you can get in Stockholm. Food is good with fresh ingredients. Some vegan and vegetarian dishes are available.

  • 4/5 Nathalie A. 2 years ago on Google
    We were here during night time but view seemed amazing, we hadn't booked and we had a table immediatly and cocktail are nice (not the best one in Stockholm but nice enough to enjoy this view)

  • 4/5 aya m. 1 year ago on Google
    I really loved the place and the view was amazing! The food was perfect and really delicious, but the music there was a bit loud! Highly recommend 🌷

  • 4/5 Lonni B. 1 year ago on Google
    Only had drinks there. The selection is good, the prices are reasonable and the view quite fantastic. The place could certainly be made more comfortable though and the whole “booking to get a nice table” is far from optimal. That being said it is still a very nice place with a perfect view over the whole of Stockholm.

  • 4/5 oğuzhan k. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice bar with an unusual view. Worth to try but with lower expectations.

  • 3/5 Il-Huan C. 3 years ago on Google
    The view is fantastic, especially duri g evening and night. The food however doesn't match the amazing view. The basics are in place and food is good but not to an extent that I'd go as far as excellent. They serve a special menu consisting of shrimp mayo serves with butter toasts for starter, wallenbergare for main and finishing off with a creme brule (forgot to take a picture). All for 395 sek per person. The portion size are good and can satisfy a hungry male person. They serve typical Swedish dishes with a french bistro twist and they do it good. But the wow factor isn't there. I'd say 3.5 stars. I had to wait 10 minutes before I got the attention of the head waiter and was shown to my reserved table. After this error, the service picked and was apt and pleasant. Would I recommend this place? Yes but rather for drinks and enjoy the amazing view and skyline of Stockholm. For some reason, the lightning in the bar was a bit dimmed and cloudy, and it was hard to get focused pictures.

  • 5/5 Ezgi U. 1 year ago on Google
    You can just order a quality single malt, sit on the bar by the window, Stockholm under your feet..Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, especially Jimmy behind the bar, chill-out music, great place to enjoy yourself. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Malhun F. 1 year ago on Google
    We preferred this restaurant for our special day and I must say that I’m amazed with the Stockholm view. The food was definitely better than I expected. I tried the fried calamari as a starter and char with chanterelle mushroom as the main course and both of them was really good. The service was very smooth and fast. Although it was a little bit expensive, good choice for a special day. Overall I’m pleased with this restaurant.

    Great views of the Stockholm city, nice atmosphere. A bit overpriced though.
