Zink Grill Biblioteksgatan

29 April 2016

Zink grill är ett av de ställen som alltid funkar och som man alltid kan imponera med. Menyn är bra och maten lagad med omsorg och kvalitet i fokus. För mig är Zink lika med kött, men efter renoveringen så har de balanserat upp menyn med lite mer fisk. Stället funkar för alla sällskap och situationer, i princip alla rimliga tider på dygnet. Mottagandet kan ibland vara lite väl drygt, men oftast då är det bra.

Have eaten here before, before it burned, but now I even had breakfast and dinner here after the renovation. First of all, breakfast, really nice. Good bread, cold cuts and fresh yogurt. Dinner I ate earlier tonight was also successful. We are two very good starters. A "slider rossini ' wh...

I visited Zinc for dinner last week, it was the first time I was here after the renovation. Restaurant environment is the same as the previous, cozy and rustic.
The food was good, nothing WOW but well prepared and nicely presented.

For me, the service is important and it was just ok.

Restaurang Forma

26 October 2025

There are restaurants you visit – and then there are restaurants you return to. Forma in Hornstull is one such place. A spot where the food, the people, and the atmosphere always feel right. Everything works here: a dinner with friends, a spontaneous date, or an ordinary evening when you just want to eat really well and be well taken care of.

Environment and Feel
At Hornsbruksgatan 28 lies Forma – a blend of bistro and bar, with an atmosphere that is relaxed yet ambitious. The venue is stylish yet warm, with just the right vibe. You feel welcomed from the very first moment – not least thanks to Filip, the soul and heart of the restaurant. He has the rare ability to create genuine hospitality: a mix of professionalism, presence, and genuine care. It’s an energy that sets the tone for the entire experience.

Food and Menu
The kitchen at Forma leans toward a French-Asian concept, but without losing touch with the ground. It's not about impressing with effects, but about cooking food with flavor, balance, and personality. There are vegetarian options, although the focus isn’t there. Inclusive, but never forced.
For me, who prefers rustic food with deep flavors and often chooses chicken over fish (which they do very well), Forma is spot on. They are really good at chicken, and their chicken karaage is a staple favorite: crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with a seasoning that lingers. Combined with their loaded fries, it becomes comfort food at its best – unpretentious, well-made, and incredibly delicious.
Another dish worth mentioning is the Iberico schnitzel “tonkatsu.” It clearly shows how Forma manages to combine simplicity and finesse – a dish that feels obvious, yet is carefully balanced. It’s the kind of food that makes you want to come back.

Service and Overall Impression
The service is personal, present, and natural. You can tell that the staff enjoys working there, and that joy is contagious. The pace is calm yet efficient, without stress or pretentiousness – a balance that is rare in Stockholm today.
Filip and his team embody something that cannot be trained: genuine engagement. They care about the whole experience – the food, the guest, and the moment – and it shows in every interaction.
Price-wise, Forma is just right: a lot of quality for the money, with a clear sense of value rather than luxury.

Conclusion
Forma is a place where you don’t just eat – you experience it. Here, flavors, warmth, and personality come together in a whole that feels both relaxed and thoughtfully crafted. There’s no pretension, just good food, great service, and people doing their job with heart.
For me, it’s simple: Forma is one of Hornstull's safest bets – regardless of company, occasion, or level of hunger. It’s a restaurant that reminds you why you go out to eat in the first place.

Low & Slow Smokehouse

The third time lucky, the key lies in combining "Side orders" right, both in number and which. The concept sits like BBQ smoke in the walls and the components on the tray are connected and just screaming BBQ! The country music in the background creates the right atmosphere. I like the place!

Pulled pork, bbq baked beans, creamed corn, smoked tomato, wow – Photo from Low & Slow Smokehouse by Magnus Å. (27/09/2018)
