Reviews of Aira

This text has been translated automatically. Show original »

Aira has conquered two Michelin stars in just a few years, and there is certainly a good reason for that. We were here and enjoyed a lunch in the middle days and Stockholm was covered in snow, and the trip to Djurgården felt like a fairy tale through Narnia. The only "inconvenience" but also the charm is that Aira is located at the far end of Djurgården, which makes it somewhat challenging to reach by public transport, but at the same time the place is incredibly beautiful.

For me, the first impression and welcome is very important. We received a very nice and professional treatment and almost imperceptibly the staff took our jackets and noted our names. After this, we got a briefing of the kitchen and the room before we sat down in the lounge for champagne and canapés while the Finland ferries passed close outside, which gave a magical feeling.

Once we were shown to our table, I noticed that all the tables, except for the executive table and the chambre separé, were round, which contributed to a beautiful atmosphere. The service throughout the lunch was for me perfect, elegant and professional but with a personal touch.

We chose the big menu and wow what food. Each serving was unique in both appearance and taste, and the porcelain itself was a work of art. For me, the food was what impressed me the most. However, there was an incredible amount of food and at the coffee candy I couldn't get down a bit more.

We chose to choose wine by the glass instead of a drink package and received nice guidance from one of the restaurant's sommeliers.

If I had to point out something negative, it was the music, which felt slightly too modern and pop for the elegant experience. It was a bit too up-tempo for my taste, but that's a matter of taste.

The price tag of 5000 SEK, including tips, was just as expected for such an experience. Thank you Aira for a magical moment, and Stockholm can really feel lucky to have such a fantastic restaurant

Wow wow wow. Really liked Aira. ( Does not beat Frantzén)
Have long wanted to visit Aira and a few weeks ago got the opportunity.
The place has a nice warmth. Feels elegant without being posh. Very nicely done.
Love even when there are open kitchens so that you can constantly see what is going on in the kitchen.
Big plus Tommy welcomes all the guests. Comes up to the tables and mingles a little.
To the food then:
We did not take the tasting menu but we wanted to choose for ourselves from a la cart.
We had to start with some amuse boucher that were very good. We then ate my favorite dish which was a Langoustine in different servings, they had taken advantage of the whole crayfish, absolutely absolutely magical. The second appetizer was a scallop that wasn't great fun. It didn't taste so much.
The main course was a monkfish with lobster that was absolutely amazing. Tommy is known for his sauces and the sauce for this was incredible. It was served with baked curry tomatoes and some cold-pressed potato roll.
I'm not a dessert person, so we decided to just have a cup of tea. The tea was served in their conservatory ( which, however, could be cozyed up a little, it was quite bare in there despite the Christmas tree in the middle of the room) For the tea, a trolley with lots of goodies such as chocolate truffles, mini roll cake, mini macaron, apple tarte was rolled out. Very good! It's a good thing I didn't have dessert!
I'm definitely going to come back.

Aira is one of my absolute favorites. Everything is perfection and above all, it is divinely good. The staff enhances the experience. Tip: dare to make your lunch reservation. There's something decadent about a 4h lunch ;)

Magical evening at Aira! Had heard about the great atmosphere among the staff and it was really true! So important in a restaurant of that magnitude, I think. The food is absolutely superb, no dish on the tasting menu we wanted to be without. But the incredibly nice service, everything served personally and with warmth and humor made the evening absolutely wonderful!

Wasn't there more than five stars to give?
What can beat this dining experience, what's better than this?
Like Tommy said when we walked away, "Next time you come."

We were pure lucky that we managed to get a table the second opening day, had a table at 17.30, and we left at 21.30, no stress which was so nice. It was fully booked but you have your table.

Started our evening at the bar with a drink, take and start with their signature drinks if you manage to get there, it sets the bar for the evening.
We chose, of course, the tasting menu (which is also available as a green option), I do not know how many servings we got, we were kind of enchanted. We sat all the time and said that every dish was the best, from first snack to last dessert.

Understand that not everyone has the opportunity to go there, given the price but if you are going to put a penny on the jaw, see a table free (fully booked all spring) take it! Promise me! For this will generate in STARS in February, be so sure!

Not full pot can be seen startlingly, but it must be seen relatively. It is of course magical, but given what you pay and what expectations you have, I think it could have been even better.

I like that you can actually choose from an à la carte. I didn't think the tasting menu looked so much fun, so I'd rather pick out the favorites from the à la cart. In terms of price, however, it is more "value for money" to take the tasting menu, as lots more dishes but it does not cost much more.

Some of the dishes were amazing, but some weren't wow and someone was even like that. The place itself is nice, quite classic luxury restaurant with white tablecloths, but with some cool touches like the open kitchen. The service of course top class throughout.

All in all, it is of course a fantastic experience, and I think all foodies should try it at least once. But if you are in the choice and the qualifier between Aira and Frantzén, my choice is clear.

Top notch from start to finish. Everything is so incredibly well thought out and you put it in the smallest detail. We are so happy and happy to come back, definitely worth 'an extra detour'. Won't be surprised if you get one⭐ in the future.

Fantastic food and great service. Fully on par with, if not better than, Frantzen and Noma.

Hey Tommy,
Want to send you and your amazing team the heartfelt greetings and thanks for a magical dinner and evening at wonderful Aira.
The hospitality and professionalism that met us from arrival to departure at midnight just can not be surpassed.

Without going into detail on what was tasaret or even tasare, it eventually became impossible and futile to say, in this range of magnificent creations, anything other than that everything was just fantastically good! As a consequence of this to match up, we will now have to visit better supermarkets and visit shelves at Systembolaget where even nobler drinks are placed...

Also want to send a signal to your team that was fantastically responsive, read and just was there without being "visible". Sitting at chef's table was like sitting in the cockpit of a jumbo jet where everything just floats on without slammer, everyone knows what to do, and sometimes the word "service" is heard and a reaction to this takes place elsewhere in the room. A little surreal.

Luckily, we've taken a plethora of photos that we'll look through in the front, try to rekindle the taste sensations and remember this, in so many ways, magical evening at Aira.

Heartfelt greetings
Tiina & Gunnar

Thank you for an absolutely fantastic evening with superb food and wine, the staff is so knowledgeable, friendly and the atmosphere is so warm. The tasting menu is so thoughtful and an experience we will never forget! Dax for Michelin stars!

Beautiful interior, great staff, great service. I had really high expectations on the food, but for it's price, NOT worth it. The food looks better than it tastes. It's not bad, it tastes pretty good, but absolutely not as good as I thought it would. I catch the idea, but if they're reaching for more than just one star, they have to come up with something that will make your palette dance. I will have forgotten the food by next week. Not worth the money, unfortunately!
