Forget fads and niche concepts, Ilse strives to be a modern classic where everyone is welcome. The restaurant is located in BonBon's old premises and carries an air of timelessness. Guests dine upon white tablecloths in front of an open kitchen or take a seat by the round bar that dominates the venue. Ilse is open all day serving lunch and dinner, and the menu is always the same.
Jonas Wigert, previously of BonBon and Duck & Crab, runs Ilse. Jonas abandoned the idea of a conceptual restaurant and instead embraces the classics. The ambition is to offer a little something for everyone, without limiting itself to a certain trend or cuisine. The menu features European meat and fish dishes with a modern twist as well as exotic influences. The decor is both elegant and homely with a black, white and beige colour palette punctuated by greenery and art.
The restaurant appeals to a wide audience from business folk to bar guests and families with small children. Food is served off the same menu from noon until closing, which means that you can swing by for a bite to eat whenever you fancy: 3 pm lunch - no worries. The bar is open for spontaneous drop-ins. The bar serves cocktails and Old World wine, based on the bartenders' own preferences.

Edit: now I have been so many times on Ilse (maybe 3 times for dinner and 6-7 times at lunch) and been happy that I must raise the rating to a 5: a. it is quality through and through, incredibly stable in terms of both food and service. At some (few) occasions (mainly lunch), it's been a little bit folk, but it's nothing that bothers me, especially if you sit at the bar for the chefs.

Bonbon Deli, an old favorite hole in the wall, became a new favorite in Duck n Crab. Now, the old favorite BonBon (small dishes served in a very special way) become Ilse. The restaurateur is the same, Jonas Wad, and with three of three right before so, expectations were pretty high when I went in to the Ilse of a spontaneous meal yesterday.
If we start with the venue. A little classical, a little modern and very "nice", but without for that matter become rigid (i.e. you don't need to have the suit on you). Nice and suitable for most occasions, in addition to ev. If you are a larger gangs who are going out and messing up and let ... The restaurant feels like very small, but it is estimated the seats should come up over 40 sites, I would guess. Very nice local anyway.
The menu is divided into five parts: oysters (three different), tartes (three pajliknande), starters, main courses and dessert. The starters are perhaps around 5th and main courses like. Many of the starters, however, goes to choose as "full", which means that the options for the main dishes are a bit wrong.
We started with a half dozen oysters. We took the cheapest of the three options. We sat in the "bar" to the kitchen, which I always think is nice. The chef served the oysters, and he says he wants to bid on two extra of a little finer variety, as he tells us more about. A simple but extremely nice gesture. Too rarely like that happens, I think.
As an additional appetizer we shared on a hummerveloutée (soup, basically ...), with smoked torsktartar i.. For the main course we took a steak tartare with caviar, egg, and pickled onion, cruelly good (Pommes to was more like wedges though, which I'm not so fond of, and mayonnaise was good but tasted not enough), and a Sweetbreads with mushrooms and potatoes which was also very good.
The service did an awesome job the night through, and it was nice to chat a bit with the chef, which unfortunately had not been excessively to make this evening. Probably, it is not so many that have discovered this little gem yet, which I hope it will be change! Verging on full score, therefore, but the overall impression will be in between, and since it is the first visit will be a four this time!
Edit may 2017: each for lunch today. Sitting on the outdoor terrace. While not solar, but cruelly good. Took a day's for about 145, it was 5 of 5. My company that took another day's (three to choose from, the same price at all I think) also was 5 of 5. The service was great. Ilse touches on the full pot. Will definitely return.

Have eaten lunch at Ilse twice and it is nothing short of awesome. Maybe a little expensive but the food and service is really good.

Amazingly nice! Clean but cosy decor and very good and tasty food. Was there for lunch and it was very quiet, why? The food was magical and it hard to see that it gets crowded, so be sure to find there! I will absolutely return. Next time it will be dinner 😊

The interiors are classically elegant Nordic style, white tiles, light wood. Mass of Myshörn. Wonderful round bar in the entrance. Restaurant area with white tablecloths and candles. There are several plastics in the open kitchen. Nice environment but not stiff, intimate.
The flavors were f...

I visited this restaurant Ilse for lunch. We were a large group who shared some appetizers first, a delicious cheese with tomato and fried bread, and snails in a superb dressing. This was super good! Since I ordered the fried artichokes (with onion, majo and tomatoes)-sadly was forgotten it away so...

Var mkt mysigare än jag trodde, vi var ett stort gäng så vi fick det stora bordet. Beställde pilgrimsmusslorna och de var magiska! Gillar att de hade lite olika etapper med olika bord så man också kan sitta lite avskilt om man är där med en dejt eller bara...

Tyckte maten var fantastiskt bra men drar av en stjärna för att vinlistan innehöll på tok för stor tonvikt på dyra viner. Vi var tvungna att få hjälp av servisen för att hitta i bra prisklass. Lägg in ett gäng av dessa i menyn när de ä...

We would celebrate our daughter's birthday at restaurant Ilse, but it was a huge disappointment. An overall impression is that the kitchen lacks finesse and then it is difficult to operate the restaurant in Languedoc. The kitchen perhaps had a bad day, but already the menu's composition ga...
