Coco & Carmen

This text has been translated automatically. Show original »

There's been a lot of talk about Coco & Carmen and we have friends who think it's by far the best in town. I disagree, good - absolutely, but not the best. The price is nothing wrong, it's good for being a tasting menu of "11 servings". It starts well, all the small (they are very small) 5 starters feel luxurious with caviar etc, and are also very good, but then it goes downhill. The so-called slightly larger dishes were definitely not that much bigger and the desserts were not particularly fun, but that's a matter of taste. We chose to have drinks by the glass as the wine package contained drinks that are not really to my taste, like beer, sake... Good champagne, good wines and if the food had been a bit sharper, this would have given 5*.

If Punk Royale (it's the same owner as Coco & Carmen) is the restaurateur's badboy and black sheep (in a good way), Coco & Carmen is the girlfriend who is exciting yet safe without being boring or PK.
Non high maintenance considering that you get 9-course for 600 SEK. She takes her time,just when you start to get small lacquer that the next right does not come so the dinnerware pops up with yet another jaw-dropping bang and you sit there and think, she so worth it.
A 2.5 hour sitting that flirts wildly with the taste buds, gives pleasure and if we were in The First Date, I would definitely have wanted to go on a second date.
The décor and atmosphere is at the same time extremely cozy and welcomed with details that show that the place has a wilder side without being too borderline.

What do I want to say? Yes, go here. Enjoy the food carousel. Great atmosphere. Place good for dates without it feeling contrived. A place for the group of friends, apparently the drink packet is completely crazy bananas (unfortunately I did not indulge myself. One, I worked the next day. Two. At punk royale it was almost alcohol poisoning heheh and did not dare to take a chance tonight).
The sound level is good. Great buzz in the room. Soft music.

The best restaurant visit of the year! In addition to being an incredibly affordable tasting menu, it is also magically tasty.

Each dish leaves us completely dumb and feeling that "this is the best dish in the menu". I can still dream of the cabbage with nephrops 🤤 or the toast, or the dessert, or the soup!!

No drink package was taken when the pregnant belly stood out, but I really think it lifts the visit. It took a little too long between dishes which I do not think you think about when you snuggle on a good wine and then get a new one poured into the glass. No alcohol in this mode should mean a little faster serving. Good thing I had really good company!

The venue is cozy with wacky elements, but absolutely recognizes parts from Punk Royal, but no jaw-dropping bang. Which was pretty nice this time. Punk Royal is a completely different experience so you can't expect this, but you don't have to be afraid of this one either. Quiet and lovely with great music in the speakers.

Coco Carmen fits all my tip lists (maybe not coffee with stroller, but you get it). So just book a visit and thank me then. If you're going to say something negative, it was very bad photo light, but you can live with that.

I who love Punk Royale in Södermalm have long wanted to try their latest addition to the family crowd and last week I got the chance.
Coco & Carmen is a slightly more sophisticated version of Punk Royal. Östermalm-friendly if you like. However, without being boring, there are no rolling wheels, smoke machines and such spex, but a tentative good vibe. Noisy without being hard. We sat in a small hidden part near the kitchen with graphite on the walls, felt like I was in NY.
The evening begins with a customary one-click vodka threat with black "caviar" ( Same as on Punk)
Then it falls right after right and everyone is absolutely magical.
Extra distinctive is an incredible Norway lobster and an ankle liver with a slightly variant on a grilled buttercalk with truffles on it. Oh, bye! so incredibly good. Died.
The staff was super nice and knowledgeable. We were even invited for a glass of bubbly because my friend turned 30, so unfaithfully kind and appreciated.

Will absolutely be back snared!
