Reviews of Brasserie Balzac

Nice place that is beautiful with good food and okay service. I was actually considering giving a 3a because our dinnerware did not know at all. He was dizzy, forgot little things and for some reason did not come up with our food when we ordered, but "let us sit and talk for a while" very strange. Had not had an eye on the wine list and dropped a little too much things. Of course that a couple of cutlery can slip out of the hand, but several and also a glass is a bit well. I think he had a very bad day, because he was really not rude, just did not pay attention.

I took the talked-about Råbiffen. I love tartar so expectations were high. Well, yes. It is approved but I did not come to seventh heaven. Sure it's fancy and taste but for me it was too coarse ground and I'd love not to have the capers in. Always good with deep fried for crunch but poor salad, would have been better to ignore it. Should you be hard, it would have needed a little more love.

Otherwise, the room is very lovely, the outdoor serving is nice and I love that it is two-piece with smoke-friendly and non-smoking!

I will definitely come back, but then I'll probably take something else on the menu.

The decor is really a 5a! One of Stockholm's coziest restaurants. The dark brown walls and the yellow Toniga lamps really give a warming feeling and you want to sit here. On the right side when you come in, there is the bar. Filled up all over the wall there are lots of bottles that become part of the interior.

I wanted a glass of bubbly and then asked the waiter for a glass of cava or prosecco and he just shake his head. Asked then if they have no bubble and he said "no". Then point to Bubblet on the menu and then he writes them up as order... A little unclear situation. But once they arrived, it was bubbling and tasty!

Actually, I just thought to have a drink here this evening, I wasn't really hungry, but clearly you were small hungry for the food when you finally arrived here! Then took a cake, croquettes with concoated ducks and truffle majo. What combo they sound like! The taste of the croquettes was good and they crispy. However, the stuffing was a bit odd. It was creamy, but then it came, or tasted it like uncooked lentils I. Not as good. So good in taste but consistency could have been adjusted. Truffelmajo is of course a favorite for me but this one tasted absolutely nothing of anything. Not truffle, not majo, absolutely nothing. Which was a pity. Be good with a bit of cresiness to the coquetting but is a bit disappointed. Feel, however, that I want to return and give the food one more chance.

The service was okay, did not give so much impression which I expect at a restaurant like this one.

Frankofilen in me is enjoying.
Affordable. Large premises. Higher noise level.
The food is OK, French classics without surprising.
Do not refuse to come here but do not make any major approaches to take me here either

Okay food, but no WOW experience. We were there for lunch and there were a lot of people and a great atmosphere. Good service and no problem making the food vegan even though there was nothing on the menu.

I love going out for a weekend brunch as much as dinner. Balzac is a good brunch choice if you are several in the company and want a menu with both classic egg dishes and à la carte. The room is super nice and today we got a lovely waitress who gilded the lunch. I ate a chicken salad that was appetizing with juicy chicken but a little too small! Everyone else took entrecote and steak minute. They were a little happier! I'll come back and drive meat when I go with...

Had a 3-course dinner. Super good place with good service and nice cozy premises. Is a large open room so the noise level will be a little higher. The atmosphere felt really French.

Baren är fantastisk, och barpersonalen väldigt härliga. Maten är också bra (klassiska franska rätter) även om man gärna hade sett liiite högre höjd. Bra ostron!

This is a bit of a recent review of Balzac. Due to the pandemic restrictions, I have only lunched here before, but now we slipped in a few pieces for dinner.

Clenched, not so strange, and high mood and volume (which I'll return to later).

I love, as I said, designed at the restaurant and have always been happy with the service, and that hasn't changed.

We started with oysters - nice, but quite a lot of shell residue.

The char with chanterelles was completely to my liking. Light and fresh but still with depth in the flavors.

We finished with cheeses. Room temperature, many places deliver cheeses for coolness, and perfect finishing.

Both the polar and his sister also liked Balzac who was a new acquaintance for them.

So then the volume... When my vocal cords collapse, it's too loud. High ceilings, no direct dampening elements, music that drives up the volume of conversations and... Hey presto! Crazy loud.

Both my sister and a colleague mentioned the same thing. I'll be back, noneless, but the two of them just mentioned have said that unfortunately they don't.

Something to keep in mind for Balzac...

My very first visit to Brasserie Balzac was a positive surprise.
Good food and very nice staff. All the customers were happy.
The patios were occupied; Most of the places were indoors.
Exquisite wines and at the same price, if I understood correctly.
I recommend Brasserie Balzac and I'm curious if in the fall I will find there equally happy and loud customers.
Note that you can order different kinds of ice cream, I prefer vanilla.
This is my impression about Brasserie Balzac, but I am an amateur, not a professional judge.

Balzac as an environment is very nice but the food didn't impress me at all. Hence I have had no desire to return food-wise but can definitely stop by for a glass and nice hangout! Been a few years since I was there now, though, so might need to give it another chance. Although my experience is more that you end up there when you can't find tables anywhere else.

Awesome food, awesome service and awesome vibes. What else do you need to write Best restaurant in Vasastan. Hands down.

Gillar konceptet och Paris-känslan, tänker på Balthazar i New York och är nog främst därför jag går dit! Bra brasserie, trevlig uteservering och god mat - men går inte dit för maten, utan kanske mer för bubblet och stämningen!

Had dinner here several times and have always been satisfied. The last time I was here, we took some starters to share as we weren't so hungry. Love their charcuterie tray. Perfect amount of all charcuterie. Also ordered their famous raw steak and it was good, but did not exceed my expectations. Prefer raw steak with more finesse! Especially if you are going to eat a whole to the main course. We also ordered a chèvre chaud and it was delicious! Also want to strike a blow for their incredible raspberry sorbet. Perfect ending to a dinner. The staff is always as welcoming and pleasant at Balzac. The location is great, right in the heart of the very heart of.

Jag är inte så imponerad av Balzac som många andra verkar vara. Besökt baren ett par gånger och ätit här en gång. Åt en entrecote med klassiska tillbehör som var okej, men inte överdrivet god. Restaurangen var rätt tom, trots att det var helg och det var bara allmänt trist? Okej ställe att ta en drink på men som sagt, inget speciellt.

Det här är faktiskt en av mina favoriter om man vill ha en trevlig restaurangupplevelse och man inte vill boka bord 4 veckor i förväg.
Balzac har alltid levererat när jag har varit där. En kväll när dom inte var på topp så räddade dom med att kompensera det så betyget gick upp igen! Vilket jag tycker är ett tecken på att dom bryr sig om vilket intryck dom gör på sina gäster. Om man vill vara satsa på ett säkert kort så är deras Moules och råbiff alltid ett vinnande koncept. Balzac är dessvärre rätt så stökig och ljudnivån blir rätt jobbig desto senare det blir men som sagt i sin helhet väldigt trevlig restaurang både till brunch och middag. Bra priser har dom också!
