Rolfs Hav

This text has been translated automatically. Show original »

Newly opened Rolfs Hav is Rolfs Kök's new sister restaurant located just around the corner on Drottninggatan. Seems like the staff could walk between the restaurants, so really sister restaurant.

The restaurant is very narrow and most of the restaurant is a food bar in front of the small kitchen. In addition to that, there were 3-4 round tables and a long table. The décor is stripped down, I like it. You could see that a lot was not finished so it will probably happen with things.

The menu consists largely of cold dishes. About 6 different oysters and as many caviar and rume varieties. A bunch of different preserves, old man mix and skagen. Also saw a shrimp cocktail and stuffed avocados swosha by. But also hot dishes such as au gratin langoustines and perch. Very lovely wine and very nice staff.

Our bill was 1100kr for two people and then we each drank a glass of wine and ate our fill. See uploaded picture of the bill.

Here I want to sit at the bar, eat oysters, drink bubbly and buzz with the staff.

Wow, we were surprised, but not really. We are old favorites of Rolf's kitchen so the expectations were there. We got there, didn't book a table, and immediately got a seat in the bar that we like. Great to watch the chefs when they work. We tried and shared, it was good but not wow. We were served by the boss Johan himself, always nice and of course a plus. The food is good, good, but not more than that. We would love to come back but mostly because the feeling is for the food.

I actually thought it was a bit high and low on the first visit to Rolfs Hav, which makes me want to invest in one more visit before I (possibly) consider a stronger rating. Was greeted by a rather anonymous door around the corner from the original Rolf's Kitchen. Once inside, you are greeted by warmth, good buzz but also a very strong fish smell. Which I was a bit unprepared for, and I have no idea if this is something that is a good indication that you live up to your name or if... Should it really smell so much about the ingredients? We were incredibly well met and well served by knowledgeable staff - tip top marks there. The menu is based on taking in a little bit of everything. Raw, cooked, cured, hot. With its niche, maybe I had too high expectations. Everything was good but I had expected a little more of the cooked seafood. The crab was a bit tasteless and a bit overcooked (and hence a little dry). The langoustines were thankfully nicely cooked (albeit a bit small and only one had claws...), but again for a bit of flavor. Maybe I'm too spoiled with how incredible the seafood is on the west coast, and admittedly think that you never get such good seafood here on the east coast, but as I said, I would still have expected better in a concept like this. The warm octopus was good, and so was the clam chowder (which seemed to be a popular thing there based on other guests' choices). So yes, worth trying again to see if they had some bad luck with the evening of the delivery that week.

I would give an 11/10. Best seafood I have eaten since a long time. Service as good as we used to have at Rolf’s Kök.
New place to be for Stockholm!
