Reviews of Portal Restaurant

Long lovely lunch at Portal! Booked at 13.00, then you can sit for a long time. Bleak roe chips as a start, always delicious! Then continued with more bleak roe in the form of LOVE STEW with bleak roe from the Gulf of Bothnia, glazed small potatoes and airy egg cream with browned butter, incredibly flavorful. Then coffee and cake. Long lunches are sometimes magical!

Booked a dinner here, came a little earlier for a wait! Incredibly cozy room, feels like this is how a restaurant should be! High ceilings, good light but at the same time intimacy and you can hear what everyone at the table is saying.

I ate a dish with char very good! Simple but well cooked, everyone at should have been very satisfied! Highly recommend this place! Remember to book in advance!

Why doesn't it reach five stars? The service was a bit off for us, we had to wait too long for most things. To be served cold coffee at the end of dinner. Fingers crossed for better experience next time.

Edit 2022: Been here again and thought it was better now, raising the rating a notch. Still far from floored though, but it barely manages the 4.

Original review 2017: High expectations disappointed me relatively. Nice but boring room, especially if you sit upstairs which we had to do, not at all the same pulse as on the ground floor. Started with a pork terrine and a scallop as starters. Both good, but nothing special. Followed up with quail and "Steak, high beef, bearnaise potatoes and smoked pearl onions". I didn't like the quail, especially the consistency of the quail which was "boned and stuffed". The steak thin slices of raw meat (which I don't mind) that lay on a slow cook of high beef. The dish was good (nothing special either though), but not at all what I had expected. The service was good, but again, nothing special.

All in all, just fine, but far from the expectations that DI and DN have given one with their appointments: Gulddrake Mellanklass (Best Mid-Range Restaurant of the Year) and Business Restaurant of the Year.

Firade mannens födelsedag här under sommaren och blev helt blown away! Vi började middagen med lite snacks, ostron å drinkar. Redan här blev vi glatt överraskade av säsongens smaker, rabarberdrinken var som en hel sommardag! Sen kom varmrätterna in, och omg, nåt av det godaste jag ätit på länge i Stockholm. Rödingen var helt otrolig, och likaså schnitzeln som mannen åt. Vi avslutade kvällen med varsin dessert och gick hem i sommarkvällen mycket nöjda och mätta! Hit kommer vi fler gånger 💕

Jahaaaa, det är såhär en bra lunch ska smaka! Varför har ingen sagt något?

Ooooetroligt vällagad lunch med fina råvaror och extra finess. Åt en fisk Wallenbergare och undrade vad det var frågan om, så jäkla gott.

Otrolig miljö också, med stora panorama fönster ut över st Eriksplan.

Visste ni att dem har en egen matstudio också?

My review is pondered on my visit for 1.5 years ago so there is a chance that it may have changed.
I had high expectations when I visited the Portal after reading several reviews about the place. The location is very nice. When we came in we were greeted by a stimmig and comfortable environment, with heart rate. The room is bright and fresh, large windows, Scandinavian style. I think the room is a bit mediocre, nice, but nothing special.
We were placed on the upper floor where it was not the same feeling as the upstairs to our chagrin. The food was quite ok, nothing special or something that stuck out. We ate a quail and some scallop and some other dishes. The service was also mediocre, so my grade is just that, mediocre.
Have really heard the mixed bag from friends and reviews about this place, either have all the different flavors or so deliver the place very uneven, which is so bad.
I want to try again, but this time I will have to ask to sit downstairs.

Jag hade väldigt höga förväntningar på denna restaurang, då de vunnit priser etc. Dessvärre uppfyllde inte mina förväntningar. Jag gillar verkligen lokalen och riktigt bra service. Ostron som jag tog som förrätt var riktigt bra. Till huvudrätt tog jag gös, den är god men för det priset borde den vara magiskt god. Sen älskade jag att man kunde få en liten efterrätt med magiskt gott skum med fläder och kola🎉😍. Det totala resultatet skulle vara 3,5 av 5, väljer 3 för att jag inte troligtvis kommer besöka denna igen även om vissa delar var väldigt bra.

Avser en lunch. Portal är bra, mysigt och perfekt när man känner för en lite finare lunch. Jag åt inkokt lax som tyvärr var på gränsen till för rå i mitten, men den slank såklart ned tillsammans med goda tillbehör. Hade väntat mig en skickligare tillagad rätt. Mitt sällskap var väldigt nöjd med sitt lammlägg. Priserna är lite för höga för att vara lunch.

Lunch & Dinner
Here you know the combination of ingredients, tastes and conjures up an ingenious meal.
Säsongbaserat, simple but far from simple.
Quite simple a person who loves his job, can his job and must have been a magician in his last life. We talk about the owner of this year's chef Klas Lindberg. Hats off and thanks for making you made my day

Lunch offers 4 dishes that are changed weekly. A few small dishes from the dinner menu are available.
Innam Food gets addictive bread

Something expensive lumch but der is worth it there are not many places that can offer happiness in a plate

Dinner Equally goyt, more pricey, srimmigt o loud

The room is bright, large windows that let in Solkskenet. The interior is Scandinavian, airy and fresh.
There is a bar for drop in

Lite dyr för att vara lunchrestaurang, men bra kvalité. Lite fine dining-varning.

En utav mina stockholmsfavoriter! Råbiffen är guld. Smårätter i baren, ett gott vin och avsluta med en ostbit. Mums. ÄLSKAR inredningen, nordiskt i förstaklass!

Ger den här mysiga kvarterskrogen 3,5 stjärnor. Jag hade förväntat mig att mitt andra besök på restaurangen skulle vara lika bra som mitt första besök för två år sedan, men tyvärr innehöll kvällen en del moment som kan förbättras.

Inledningsvis kom fel förrätt ut, kanske till vår fördel då vi blev bjudna på den förrätt som felaktigt kom ut. Förrätterna - löjrom, krabbsallad med bl.a. selleri och äpple, samt pilgrimsmussla med svamp - var goda men inte WOW. Till varmrätt beställde jag en rätt med butternutpumpa som bas och utan linspasta (gluten). När rätten kom in var linspastan ändå på tallriken.. Personalen försökte kompensera genom att ge mig mer puré och blomkål, men tyvärr hade redan misstaget skett. Dessutom fick vi vänta länge innan vi fick in den beställda flaskan vin, lite tröttsamt. Servicen är trevlig men kan bli betydligt mer på tårna. Restaurangen är dock väldigt mysig (nedre delen vid baren) så tycker den är väl värd ett besök.

Visited the Portal recently for a Friday dinner with relatively low expectations which unfortunately was true well into the real world. We had a waitress who either had a very bad day (all is well-people), or so she was simply very tired of his job. We ate oysters and "Love Stew" for appetizer which tasted very good. For the main course I took fläskotletten who was extremely good, however, was the fitting of a completely different (low) level. My company took quail and trout which was nothing on. Took a long time before our plates were removed and get glasses refilled. Nice room and as I said, half of the dishes were good, but the overall experience with the service, etc. makes me still to give a low score. Too bad!

Vi åt en rätt som bestod av tre olika sorters lamm. Lammfilé, lammkorv och lanmbog. Underbart god. Det bara smälte i mun. Rekommenderas varmt.Trevlig atmosfär. Vi satt en trappa upp. Mycket trevlig personal.

Woefully! Have eaten there before and it was mediocre. Wanted to take a glass of wine tonight and then we heard "you can well tänga you into the bar if you really want" even though there was room. Good service? No, according to me.
