Review of Totale – by Adam L.

The first time I eat in one of the Orrmyr's places. Have wanted to test the whole gang, but since I am rarely in Gothenburg took the only one to now, and then felt the most fun to start with Totale because it is newest.
Just as I had guessed beforehand, it was a very pleasant environment. The open kitchen at the end of the room was the icing on the cake and really neat. Cozy and a bit romantic, but still suitable for most company and occasions I would say. My guess is that the feeling is a bit similar at the sister restaurants and Orrmyr seems to be really good at this bit.
The menu is quite small with about four dishes to choose from in each section, of which the steak tartare is on both the pre- and main course list. I started with a langos, which is a Hungarian flatbread type, where you have a deep fried and fermented dough that is topped with different things. In this case, marinated red-baked salmon, 63 degree eggs, bleak roe, cream on browned butter and assorted pickled onions. Incredibly good! For the main course, I took the steak tartare. A generous portion of the nut before thighs with a little everything possible in (do not remember exactly and on the website stands a different version) at the human price 215 KR. It was good, but not fantastic. The service was also good, but not fantastic.
I also took a little bite of my companion's entrecote (which was the evening's special dish on the board). It was much cruder than what he had asked for (type bleu instead of medium rare), which in itself is not a disaster. Tender and good meat, but it had been fried on a little too low heat. Very good bearnaise sauce to. In conclusion, a nice dinner and I look forward to testing Orrmyr's other restaurants!
