Review of Restaurang AG – by David F.

Restaurant AG is hidden and tucked away in a back street. When you have climbed two stairs in a rather shabby staircase you come to the restaurant and the first thing you meet is a hanging fridge filled with nice pieces and an incredibly stylish, cozy and unique restaurant. So cool contrast!
We started with a drink in the tapas bar with some beer sausage and marconam andlar. We are greeted by nice service and atmosphere and sick good music, very 80's. Owner Johan Jureskog suggests starting his dinner at AG by eating hungry for tapas in the tapas bar and I agree!
Then for dinner. We continued into the dining room and were treated to the same pleasant service that lasted throughout the evening. Almost all the guests we saw and heard in the dining room spoke English or any other language, it gave a lovely international atmosphere indeed!
The food was absolutely fantastic and consistently flawless. We first got into grilled levain bread (LOVE grilled bread) with lardo, plenty although I prefer my beloved butter ;) For starter, we brought in Toast Pelle Janzon, burratina, ankleverterrine and red prawns. Everything was incredibly good but the best was the prawns that were cooked in a strong and buttery sauce with cajun / creole flavors. I usually have a hard time for foie gras but this one was actually really good with a sweet marmalade and some nuts that gave a lovely crunch.
The highlight of the evening was still the meat of course. We took an entrecote on legs for 2 and a steak from Småland and an entrecote from a milk cow from Halland that was on their daily meat list. The only thing I can say is that meat really doesn't get any better than this. Here you get the absolute best pieces of meat cooked with perfection.
Order some different pieces of meat and share with the whole party, and you get to try a little different. Go for some piece from the daily meat list that varies by availability and season where you can find interesting pieces and at least a piece on bone - by far the tastiest meat is what you gnaw away from the bone. YES, you may gnaw meat from a bone like an animal here, you are even encouraged to do so! Why throw away the absolute tastiest meat as well?
The accessories we took were homemade french fries deep-fried in sebum with a bearnaise sauce with lots of herbs, deliciously creamy potato gratin, baked tomato and green salad with parmesan.
I was to say the least full and contented after this but I just couldn't resist ordering a sticky toffee pudding when I saw it on the dessert menu. Sick good even if I had wished a little more caramel sauce.
Prices are high, but it's very luxurious raw materials and incredibly well cooked so they are still reasonable I would say. If you only eat in the tapas bar, however, you can get away with a cheaper bill. And although there is clearly a focus on meat at AG, there are many vegetarian and fish options, so here anyone would have a lovely dinner.
