Arc

This text has been translated automatically. Show original »

Edit November 2019: Be here and ate both friday and Saturday. On Saturday I sat on the same table, at the same place, ate the same food and drank the same drink, served by the same nice waiter. 🤣

The menu consists of 5-6 hors d'oeuvres (all from the sea), a larger dish called "Eat Korean" and some desserts. Either you pick freely, or you take the tasting menu "The Ocean" (775KR/pers), then you get all the small dishes, or you take "Arc Experience" (645 SEK/pers), which is one of the small dishes, Korean Eat and a dessert.

On Friday we ran the Arc Experience, and on Saturday only Eat Korean. The appetizer, which was a slightly sashimi/ceviche-like dish on scallop and cod, was OK. Nice but a little boring. Dessert was good.

But Eat Korean, my God, that's good. It is a "Ssäm", which is easiest to explain a Korean wrap/taco type, but with salad instead of bread. You get about ten accessories, like pickled onion, pickled cucumber, ginger, roasted onion, green chili mayo, apple, kimchi etc. For that you get long-baked pork belly in some nice glaze, sechuan pepper fried entrecote and some kind of crispy chicken in a sweet chili sauce (standing duck on the menu, but got to me that it was chicken, a little insecure but tasted chicken). Vegetarian options are available.

Started with pork belly, which I love. Incredibly good. Followed up with the entrecot and thought "it couldn't possibly be better", it was. Then the chicken, thinking "it can't possibly be as good as the meat, chicken never reaches those levels" - it was the very best, quite improbably tasty. The whole dish itself is the tastiest I've eaten in a long time. I told you I ate it two days in a row, didn't I? So it's really quality assured! 😜

In fact, I'm raising the grade on Arc to a fiver. That dish is unbeatable, and the place itself is insanely nice. The food I've eaten otherwise hasn't been that impressive, so if you're going to come here, do it for the place, the drinks and eat EAT KOREAN! I'm going to have to come here sometime a month.

Original review June 2019: The place itself is world class. Really nice. The view, the décor, the tables/table setting, etc. perhaps Stockholm's nicest roof terrace. 5/5 without a doubt. However, had slightly higher expectations for the food. Tested pork bacon and steak tartare for starter. Both good, but nothing special, 3/5. A little bit the same with the main courses. Ate the pork side and tasted the chicken. Even these were good, but no wow. Nicely presented and enough food for lunch (although I hadn't taken the appetizer). Maybe had some high expectations for the food with what you heard others say and how nice the place itself is. But as a whole experience, it will still be a four!

yes, it's going to be a 5! The dinner was a cold autumn evening which made it so cozy to sit inside and above the city but a fire. I like how they have got both elegance and cozy with the room. The restaurant is not that big, but I never felt that it crowded, everyone away has their place which is always appreciated, do not want to hear what those next door are talking about.

The food was amazing. Important - I can admit that I am not a professional in Korean food, so I start entirely from my own flavor palette!
It's not often you go out to eat and get a whole new flavor combination anymore, but I got that here. Partly I like that the whole table orders the same and we get to sit and pick up our portions and find what fits best together and talk food. For me, the food was good enough but my guy wanted more meat, of course there was no problem and we got refills. Refilling the accessories is included in the price, which I like, then they do not have to post as much as may instead be wasted, as long as it is communicated which it did.

The terrace – may have become a new roof favorite actually. Here I was this summer and I like the view, the drinks, the music and the drinks. I also like the mix of people and the relaxed pendant.

The drinks at dinner were also great. What about the staff? Well, it wouldn't have been a 5 if it wasn't on top. It felt relaxed and personal, like everyone really enjoys work and enjoys what they serve.

Can't wait for the next visit.

I was completely sold in this place!

If we start with the view, beat clearly! You can only love rooftops wherever you turn your eyes. Once you tear your gaze away from the view (which is brutally difficult), the interior is not bad either. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Stylish as it is.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. With an emphasis on wonderful. They made us feel and were good at explaining the concept, recommending wines and food ect.

The food was brutally good! Was so incredibly pleasantly surprised. WE brought in the Korean sharing thing and my God, had been able to eat this all day every day, without exaggerating. It was so good. Go there and eat this I can only say.

Is so incredibly happy with this place and is so tagged in the summer here.

Fantastic view of Stockholm! the place is large, there are both places inside, outside and upstairs outdoors. Several bars are available, however, where they close now under Corona when they only take the order. Good rosé you got! The staff were easygoing and nice!
This is really a place to visit in Stockholm! Looking forward to coming back and testing the food.

Nice new Skybar at Torsplan. 360 degree views over town. Some driving problems like this first night, but this will probably be a given AW-place this summer. 😎🥂🌇

Jag har sett så många bilder från deras takbar och velat gå dit länge. För att komma till takbaren behöver du gå igenom deras innegård. Själva innergård som var upplyst med ljusslingor, verkade så mysig. Ser framemot att testa den nästa sommar😍. Sen när vi kommer upp till takbaren så känns även den väldigt mysig och snyggt inrett. Maten är väldigt god och älskar upplägget. Personalen känns personliga, avslappnade och serviceinriktad, vilket är sånt plus😍.
Nu är det ju lite kallt att äta ute på själva terrassen, även om de har värmelampor. Utsikten från takbaren är magisk 😍. Hela intrycket av restaurangen är positivt, kommer gå hit flera gånger.

So impressed with the ARC!

We visited ARC a little spontaneously on a Friday evening and started at their roof bar. Everyone should go here. The room was clean and the breakfast was very good.

Now to the food. We ended up in the middle of the dinner and it was noticed but we had a waitress who was so nice and really did the best of the situation. She looked all the time that we felt seen when the rush was over and apologized that we hamnde a bit squeezed and gave us a small discount on the bill. Which she really did not have to do but it shows that they really care about their guests.

The food was absolutely amazing! Love the concept that you get a little different protein together with accessories so you can pick as.
Everything tasted the top and have not eaten so much Korean before but I was sold on the flavors and the well-cooked food. Hats off to ARC!

As we live in the vicinity, this will surely be our Stammishak this summer.

Ger Arc en stark 3a. Vid ankomst blev vi trevligt bemötta av hovmästaren som visade oss till våra stolar vid bardisken. En riktigt trevlig miljö där man kan se kockarna laga maten mitt framför dig.

Vi beställde avsmakningsmenyn Ocean Experience som innehöll en blandning av sex skaldjurs- och fiskbaserade smårätter. Mina favoriter var de halstrade havskräftstjärtarna och pilgrimsmusslan med bl.a. rotselleripuré, shiitake och svampte. Rätterna var vackra men smakmässigt bara helt okej, inte någon smaksensation. Dessutom var de väldigt små så vi lämnade restaurangen fortfarande småhungriga. Inte heller var vinlistan särskilt intressant utan väldigt kort med få alternativ på glas. Servicen var trevlig och bra med några småmissar, t ex glömde bort att servera ett glas champagne och tog tid på sig att komma med notan.

Kan tänka mig att besöka Arc igen för ett glas i den trevliga miljön och med utsikten, men ännu en middag där får dröja.

Femte gången på Arc Rooftop. Vet inte om jag är mest besviken på stället eller mig själv som gick dit igen. Väntetiderna förstör allt, allt tar extrem tid, och det är tydligt att de är underbemannade så personalen ute på terrassen är otroligt oengagerade. Väntade 45 min på notan och påminde 10 min efter första frågan. Gå inte dit.

Nice location with beautiful view. Very small menu, incredibly expensive as portions are very small, so a dinner is around 600-800kr for a normal dinner plus drinks. Food was ok but not great. Service quite slow and we had one gluten allergic with us who chose the gluten free dishes. When she tasted she immediately felt there was gluten and asked the waitress if they have used soya with gluten, and she said yes. We asked why as it was GF and she said, well there is no bread or big gluten stuff so it is kind of free. She refused to say it was wrong and she was quite unfriendly and ignorant. They came with new dishes without soy but they charged us for those. We all agreed that 2 stars was generous when looking at value for money and service.
