Review of Oaxen Slip – by Agnes L.

The slipway is just as suitable for a love date as a business dinner.
If you are there for a love date then choose the late sitting so you can sit for a long time and look into each other's eyes and enjoy the intoxication of food and wine because this is an experience.
Walking down between the houses as the sun slowly sinks over the water and come in and be met by a warm reception and professional head waiter is a delight.
The room is made almost exclusively in glass so I understand the reviews about sunglasses. In the evenings, however, the glass is part of the experience. The height of the ceiling means that even if it is larger, messier company, it will be an intimate experience.
We start with a local beer, Hökarängen IPA, worked surprisingly well for the snacks sardines in the oil and bread.
What I liked most about the appetizer was that most herbs, shoots and salad are grown and picked yourself. Despite leaving the island, Agneta & Magnus Ek is sticking to her idea of taking advantage of everything. A rough sprig of cress was really cool!
For the main course we chose Entrecote for two and although both I and my company are good at eating, we left far too much food, perhaps we should have taken smaller accessories. Especially since we both brought in mayonnaise and frying sauce & herb butter.
For starters and main course, we drank wines that were recommended to us and then discussed with my wine-savvy company. Usually wines can be a costly story but I have a tip: Take a slightly more expensive wine than you imagined, usually more value for money and less premium than the so-called house wines.
Despite this saturation, we shared a chocolate dessert and drank coffee and cognac. Good date, good evening and impeccable service.
As the icing on the cake, after dinner we got a guided tour of Krogen, the chocolate room, chambré separéen and seeing both owners stand last and work together with the staff made me so impressed!
Also ate Christmas dinner here and I was satisfied, not wow but satisfied. There's almost everything you can think of and homemade, pickled, pickled and baked but there was something missing to get that christmas feeling I'm looking for when I eat Christmas dinner.
At the same time, I don't think anyone does it better than the Eks, so don't go anywhere else.
Have to book a new visit now I feel!
