Review of Restaurang Hasselbacken – by Adam L.

First time at this classic restaurant today. brunch. Corona times meant that there were quite a few parties, but at least they had put everyone in a part of the restaurant, which meant that they did not feel it was too empty. The menu felt reasonably up to date, if you compare it to the rest. Reasonably nice and varied brunch menu with middle dishes where two per person is just right. Me and my girlfriend shared four dishes: skagen, soup of the day (mushrooms), mushroom croquettes and reuben bagel.
The skagen toilet stone (topped with bleak roe) was very good. Would have liked the bread not only to be toasted though, but butterscotch like the bread we got for the soup (I just took it to the skagen, so it no problem, but think for the one who does not take the soup). The soup was good, but not wow. Reuben bagel was OK, a little uninteresting. Dry and quite a little meat but good mustard. OK bread. The mushroom croquets were perhaps the best, at least most surprisingly, since most people can make good skagen.
The food I would say was 3.5, so I thought a little about what rating to set, but then I came to the conclusion that it felt quite clear with 3 as a whole experience. The place feels a bit dated, both the room (perhaps diluted by a bit of the calmness) but also the service. Outdated in some way. Also think it is quite useless when you have a cup of tea, and get a rather small cup of warm water in, with Lavazza advertising on the cup and tea bag on the side. They're going to have to come up with a little hot if I'm going to come back. There is potential in the kitchen, but also in the room, which is actually very beautiful, and the location out on Djurgården with nice views.
