Middag igår på anrika Tennstopet. Tennstopet öppnade år 1867 så historien sitter verkligen i väggarna. Klassisk svensk husmanskost på menyn. Råbiff och köttbullar blev dagens kvällsmat. Gott och klassiskt, allt man kan förvänta sig från denna institution i Stockholms restaurangutbud. Ganska mörk och murrig lokal men ändå klassiskt hemtrevligt. Separat del för de som bokat bord. Men finns även flera bord för dropin-gäster.

En favorit när det kommer till husmanskost. Helt okej toastskagen, och mycket god Biff Rydberg. Väldigt trevlig personal.

Tennstopet funkar alltid! God mat och trevlig personal. Köttbullarna är väldigt goda, likaså råbiffen med dom frasiga pommesarna.

Super bra uteservering med sol hela dagen där man kan ta ett glas!🥂

Visited several times and never been disappointed, especially not on the meatballs. Fairly easy to get a table on the outdoor terrace despite the central and popular place.

Bäst i klassen ”svensk husman”! Bra klassiska rätter med riktigt hög kvalitet, bra service och härligt stimmig stämning i lokalen

Had heard mkt about their well-made home cooking dishes. We were a party of two. Split the appetizer called 3 assietter-chefs choice. Then we got old man's mess, Skagen and herring, no oddities and it was good! Then we also took French onion soup and it unfortunately did not live up to expectations, not so tasty.
The main course was Wallenbergare and home-cured salmon. The Wallenbergaren was super tasty and filling. The salmon unfortunately tasted very mkt fish. So it was really 50/50 on the food. Otherwise, they are a cool cult place!

A visit to Tennstopet is like traveling 50 years back in time and it feels like you almost become a little part of "Our time is now", that's about where my reference to this type of restaurant extends. Especially with mobile bans!

Normally, I don't like this kind of stuff in restaurants or food. That is, old, outdated, obscure and Swedish home cooking - completely without a trend factor. But on the other hand, I love "Our Time Is Now" and have just started rewatching the show to have the memory fresh for the season premiere of season 3, but that's another story. In any case, my point is that I immersed myself so much in the feeling of "being there" that I actually came to appreciate the visit and the experience of Tennstopet. With my family around the table, I could almost sniff and breathe a part of Nina Löwander's life. So, thanks to "Our time is now" for being able to contribute to my experience becoming much more fun and better, haha! 

After I sat down and opened up my mind, I also realized quite quickly that it was not just an old restaurant filled with old men, although this is also a truth, but that there was a certain elegance, French touch and peaceful atmosphere over the restaurant that I came to like. Which, of course, I did not intend from the beginning. 

The food is in accordance with Swedish tradition and if you are craving Rydberg, Wallenberg, dill stewed potatoes, shoemaker's box or black pudding, this is the place to go for a nice price. The alcoholic menu offers everything from Sweden, France, USA, Spain, Italy, Austria and New Zealand, some easily accessible old goodies and some order goods that there is very little of in Sweden and at Systembolaget after closer research. 

As for the food, I did not want to be negatively obsequious as I have a bad habit of becoming when I eat Swedish home cooking. But when the white, round plate came in, I felt it tear inside and the old memories of the school canteen made themselves felt. I really dislike white round plates and am reminded every time of the cucumber-flavored potatoes that we were forced to eat - especially noticeable when it was potatoes that should be on my plate. 

But to my great surprise, I liked the meatballs. They had stuns, good frying surface, good onion-umami basis and married nicely with the actually very creamy sauce. No wow experience or direct taste explosion as it is difficult to make mashed potatoes and cream sauce taste and look different, but for those who shake up this food, like my dear home cooking mother, I can understand the feeling of sitting there and eating. As for the other dishes that my company took, I can not comment but it looked just as boring as boring home cooking can do. The flavors, on the other hand, resonated with everyone. The layout of my dish, I still want to give a plus in the edge because they served the meatballs and sauce separately from the mash and accessories that came in small sweet bowls on a silver tray. And good amount of white pepper in the mash that I can be quite picky with.



The service was brilliant in terms of treatment, recommendations, courtship and could really show why the place has such great customer loyalty. Their enthusiasm for the food rubbed off on me and all of a sudden I was excited to eat their meatballs with cream sauce, lingonberries and pickles. This detail and professionalism contributed greatly to the peaceful experience I had and allowed me to relax 100% throughout the visit.



Their outdoor seating is fantastically nice along the road on Dalagatan. Perfect on a warm autumn day in the afternoon when the sun is on to have a glass of wine, hot coffee or of course a bite to eat. Perfect place for lunch á 145kr if you are in the area, of course like Swedish home cooking and happen to have company from the older generation!

Had given 5 out of 5 if it wasn't for an incident I had there. Stood as usual and tried to find plank steak on the menu when I felt a stick in the right arm. Checked to the right to inspect said arm. Seeing that a dart arrow has buried in my biceps and I get a little confused. Had it always been there or had anyone put it there? Having perceived choked screams farther away in the bar, I was able to deducera that these two gentlemen had happened to spot me instead of the board. It did a little evil, I may say but the pain was blown away by the response from the lads. They invited me to beer and fernt, the staff took it freezing cold and as the pros they are, I got a small bowl of chilinötter as plaster on the wound. Think the bartender was called Daniel, he va a really fun type, real pros.

Go here if you want to look at yourself in a bautastor mirror! Try the fish.

Tennetopet has been in business for over 20 years. Good service but the food is, unfortunately, not all the way. A disturbing detail is is closet compulsion on 20kr..

Like stepping into a restaurant in Scotland, Hjorthuvuden on the wall, crowded and noisy! You are greeted by the closet and will be amazed at what help you get, here the glow of the light it costs 20 bucks! Once in the restaurant is talked and laughs it, nice to get rid of eating to nightclub music! The menu permeates Swedish House man, to the more expensive way. Good food! We had to explain several times that we wanted to eat and catch the bill was not easy! Will not come back in the first place!

Just had lunch a few times. Later today the meatballs, which were good. Even eaten a good Skagen toast. The only thing I haven't been thrilled with was the Burger that was perhaps not a direct hit. Love story in place and the charm of the outdated, although I might prefer the more their (Vassa Eggen) group a little more "trendy" spots.

På namnkunniga Tennstopet har jag spisat både lunch, en- och tvårättersmiddag de senaste två, tre åren. Senast ett helkvällskalas i stort sällskap.

Inredningen är charmigt ålderdomlig och sekelskifteslik men mest så i salongerna mot gatan. Genom vindlande gångar och skrymslen når man mer alldagliga sittplatser som förvisso har den inte obetydliga fördelen att ljudnivån är bekvämare.

Jag beställer harsadel (som är en av de rätter som är på menyn blott någon dag om året) och upplyses härvidlag om att hare smakar mycket annorlunda. En rutinerad brasklapp. Portionen är rejäl och består, förutom hare med portvinsinlagda katrinplommon och skysås, av en potatistartlette och en lökpaj. Ett bastant mål mat som smakar gott, om än inte utöver haren så värst spännande. Smakerna är jämntjocka på ett lite avdankat husmanskostligt vis. Till detta ett glas spanskt rödvin, som servitören rekommenderat, med mycket fatkaraktär, som möter mastigheten väl.

Till dessert en ostbricka med knäcke och marmelad. Ostarna är fyra till antalet men ganska snålt tilltagna. Urvalet i och för sig bra med chèvre, morbier, en italiensk hårdost och en blåmögel. Uppläggningen på den för stora tallriken känns lite sjaskig. Helhetsintrycket är att man vilar lite för mycket i att själva konceptet ”ostbricka” självt gör hela susen. Fel! Ost kan, och bör, vara betydligt mer intressant än såhär. Till ostarna ett franskt, vitt dessertvin - likaså rekommenderat - som med sina generöst fruktiga toner och pikanta syra stjälper de matta ostabitarna mer än det hjälper.

Servisen är allert, men vi sitter i en avlägsen del där de sällan befinner sig. De har god koll på våra beställningar och rekommenderar överlag bra. Servicen i garderoben, som jag i och för sig inte kan svara för sköts av samma person alla kvällar i veckan, är dock upplevelsens, kanske alla upplevelsers, absoluta bottennapp. Maken till hetskt och misstroende bemötande har jag aldrig upplevt, och det är angeläget att man genast ser över detta om man tänkt fortsätta med det i sin tur tveksamma företaget att avkräva varenda gäst 20 kronor i garderobsavgift.

Betyget blir två stjärnor på grund av dels den lite matta, tillbakalutade finishen som präglar hela etablissemanget, dels de i förhållande till sagda finish 20-30 % för höga priserna. Jag förstår att det kostar på att förvalta ett sådant namn, en sådan lokal, ett sådant läge. Men man resonerar fel om man anser att i första hand gästen ska stå för den kostnaden. Den bör tvärtom bäras av ett excellent kök och en gemytlig och angelägen servis.

Love this classic place where the history is almost felt on the plate. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Jag var till Tennstopet med en kamrat och åt mina favoriträtt Biff Rydberg. Rätten var riktigt god och personalen effektiv och trevlig. Chocken kom då jag besökte herrtoaletten en trappa upp från entrén. En frän urindoft slog mig rakt i ansiktet då jag klev in. Toaletten stank av gammalt urin. Jag var nära att backa ut igen. Det som hindrade mig från reträtt var att jag helt enkelt var tvungen att besöka inrättningen.
Det här får ni bakläxa på Tennstopet. Betyg 0 (noll) på toaletten. Att det ändå blev totalbetyget tre stjärnor var den fantastiskt goda maten! Höll på att bara ge två. Synd.

Ett härligt hak helst om man får sitta i den gamla matsalen eller i en myshörna en trappa ned. Lite stökigt och skramligt men god mat. Testat allt från sill till Gåsamiddag. Ett hett tips är Wienerschnitzeln - to die for. Gå dit och upplev lite av the good old days.

Var på anrika Tennstopet på en snabb lunch idag. Lunchmenyn passade varken mig eller mitt sällskap i smaken så vi valde deras klassiska köttbullar från huvudmenyn, överkomligt pris! Moset, lingonen och gurkan var super, dock tyckte jag köttbullarna var lite för stora och ”finmalda”. Rent personlig smaksak såklart! Plus i kanten för trevlig service och att maten kom snabbt vilket uppskattas vid lunchtid. Trevlig uteservering i solen (när solen behagar dyka upp bakom molnen). Om köttbullarna varit lite ”grövre” hade det blivit en 4a.

We were a party of 5 people who ate lunch and everyone was happy! I took the rhyming salmon and it was great! Also got a taste of their Toast Skagen and also it was very nice!

A Stockholm Classic. Home cooking in the traditional pub atmosphere. Wide selection of dishes, which is very good, but can be quite a long wait on the food and the service is just okay.
