Den etablerade institutionen Vete-katten är ett fik med gamla anor som huserar i stora, om än inte på något i övrigt utmärkande sätt förtjänstfulla, lokaler på Kungsgatan inte så värst långt från Hötorget. Inredningen är något gammaldags och det finns gott om vrår eller avskärmade utrymmen att välja sittplats på.
Utbudet av fikabröd är alldeles lagom. Här ryms mestadels klassiska bitar. 2019 års semla, som är den senast av mig köpta godbiten, har en konsistens i bullen som är alldeles perfekt stunsig. Mandelmassan slät och lite för mild för min smak; här saknas bitterhet! Kaffet, på vilket påtår ingår, är bryggt kraftfullt och på en sort utan fruktig syra. Det faller mig också i smaken.
Sammantaget tre stjärnor, och det av två anledningar. För det första är lokalen inte så inbjudande. Man har löst det så gott man förmår, men faktum kvarstår att den inte är lämpad för mys. Därtill är det för högt i tak och för skränigt. För det andra är det ganska dyrt, och bakverken är inte excellenta. Man bör vara medveten om att man till viss del betalar för namn och för läge.

Oaxen Slip, beautifully situated on Djurgården South Beach just next to Beckholmen, is located on the wall with the flagship Oaxen Krog, in a smart planned local with dark wood paneling and large windows, warm light and high ceilings. The interior is spartan, perhaps mainly inspired by the Swedish archipelago life, without becoming neither impersonal nor kitschy, while the view towards Danviken and Sofia is beautiful and urban spectacular. Many of the chairs are fixed to the floor and have folding seats, which after a full evening gets the grade as fancy as it is unergonomic.
The evening menu is four-legged: snacks, pre-, main-and desserts. We start with snacks in the form of smoked elephant beans with fermented almonds, garlic and parsley. An appetizing and long taste experience in several stages that impresses and delights. Then starters in the form of steak tartar of oxinnan thigh and pea bread with libbstick and calf tongue. The Råbiffen is nothing less than sensational; A thoughtful new take on this standard dish that is wonderfully imaginative without passing beyond recognition's limit. Beautiful and tasty, well worth a visit in itself! The pea bread is the mastigare, the flavors-thanks to the calf tongue, not least-fuller and texture a bit more greasy. Bread and toppings are good and well prepared but you can discuss the size of this dish, which, after all, should be proportional to the main courses. To this we drink a lager beer from the well-planned and locally stressed supply of fats varieties.
The main courses are ordered without fixed accessories; You choose them yourself. We eat long-cooked deer with raw mushroom salad and carrot purée and fried duck breast with kale, orange and apple gravy. To the potato stomp and gratinated broccoli. The Ankan is good but no more than that. Best tastes of the sky, which is really rich in the fresh, sweet shades of a Swedish autumn Apple. The deer is the disappointment of the evening. Although it is a long-boiled, thick piece that is served, it is undoubtedly directly dry. In addition, it is, like Carrot spuren, badly seasoned and the flavors are difficult to hang out at all. We drink red wines, from a narrow but nuanced spectrum of varieties on glass. The Serv ice recommendation to trust.
When we at the end of the meal point out that the deer is dry, the waitress returns it to the kitchen, comes back and gives us the right, and offers free desserts to both of us. Discretely and kindly handled and generously compensated.
Dessert Änglamat-whipped cream with berries and chocolate krisp-is okay but could have been unset sweeter. Chocolate crushing is so muffled that it would have been needed. The second dessert-beetles with chocolate mousse-is interesting and well made in the sense that the sorlures are clear and flavorful, and chocolate mousse rich and intense, but is not a combination that fits my palate any further. Finally, an Irish coffee, which is the incomparable tastiest we have drunk. Good coffee and good spirits make good and warming drink.
The Servisen is attentive without being intrusive, clear in its communication, professional without being distanced. It handles the complaint in a good way and makes good recommendations. A very good rating for this!
The price level is average and you get at best, which is most, fall much flavor per crown. What lowers the grade is the main dish, which for a kitchen of this class and the pretention is partly unforgivably cooked, partly uninspired spiced. A chain is not stronger than its weakest link and it is just weak as the main courses are on the Oaxen slip. Nevertheless, we will gladly return, but then to order lots of snacks and a few more starters!
