Review of Restaurang Räkan – by Mimmi S.

A little mixed thoughts after visiting here. Came here for dinner not so long ago after I went to a musical nearby.
When you enter you are greeted by a stylish decorated bar and nice bartender who welcomed you. All around are all the various boats, marine, sea and seafood inspiring décor that you look at while you waited in waiter and our table.
In the middle of the restaurant there is the small pond with a boat going around, also heard that it loads shrimp if you sit at the middle tables. But we sat in the back. Very nice atmosphere and the light was cozy. However, I wonder what chairs they have?! There was no room to sit on them. They are quite triangular with the smallest part against the back of the chair so be quite uncomfortable to sit.
The waiter was super nice and the service was good! However, they cheated us a little on the price which is not okay. We were going to take starter and main course, but then were told that it would be cheaper with 3 course theater menu + 10% discount that you get then, Of course we ran on them.
We got 4 menus and then noticed that they were different. Apparently, they forgot to throw away some old menus.
They became the same food for all of us. Starter , a skagenröra that was FANTASTIC good. Really perfect. The bread on the side so the crunch lasted all the time, however, the arrangement was very 70's.
The main course was gosling with champagne sauce and roast potatoes. Actually, they were supposed to be another potato, but we asked for the old menu potatoes.
Very good even this, good flavors! However, also here, very 70's arrangement. What's the deal?
Super full we get after a long time ( we asked to wait a little with the dessert ) in the chocolate fondant. Even it was good. Not so sweet which I like, but good chocolate flavor. However, it was a little overpowering. And we were way too measured. And the third time's a charm. What's the deal with the '70s setup?
I've never been so concerned about how the food was set up, but it was here.
On arrival we also took a delicious whiskey sour and to the food there was a bottle of cava and prosecco. Both good.
All right, dinner! Good food and nice service, but being cheated out of the price, wrong menus and the arrangement of the food unfortunately means that the rating is lowered.
