Review of Brasserie Balzac – by Mimmi S.

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.
