City Backpackers Stockholm

Such a cool place! A big beer hall 110 years old: Meatballs , big as golf balls, Baltic herring , calf’s liver , rhubarb pie and boiled knuckle of pork . Swedish tradition as it's best

Jack Smith

The reviews here aren't wrong. Best Swedish meatballs in Stockholm. They do other really tasty sounding meals too. Chocolate Terrine with raspberry ice-cream was total heaven. Well worth a visit.

CNN

Craving Swedish meatballs ? Pelikan serves them homemade in cream sauce with lingonberries . In addition, there's sill, elk & pig knuckles the size of bowling balls on its traditional menu. Read more

Berk Artuner

Amazing atmosphere, extremely delicious and traditional examples of Nordic cuisine. Prices are pretty reasonable, in the end, you are dining in Stochholm..

Jenna Anderson

Excellent food. Had the meatballs and they reminded me of the ones my Swedish grandmother used to make us. We had a really nice time here, good food, cool atmosphere.

Josh Landquest

The "S.O.S." (smor, ost and sil -or butter cheese and herring ) is great! Especially if you're not hungry for a huge portion . Cured salmon is pricey and had a fishy aftertaste that was too much for me.

Ewa Agami

A lavish yet slightly shabby interior and big portions of traditional Swedish food set this place apart . Mid-range price wise and well worth a visit if passing through the city !

Jimmy Doux

High quality Swedish food in reasonable prices. Try the grilled reindeer , is perfectly cooked! What is bad is this weird smell inside the restaurant !

Andreas Ehn

Probably the highest quality(food)/quality(service) quotient of all restaurants in Stockholm

Kostas???? Karagiorgis????

Nice retro enviroment.!! The best food i ve tried in stockholm. Reindeer was awesome !! Must visit.!

Thomas Joos

If you are visiting Stockholm it is one of the first restaurants you should visit. Great meatballs in a cosy environment. Great and rapid service.

Traditional Swedish food . Nice building. Service was great. Food was alright and a bit pricy . We were placed in an empty area and not at the restaurant part with a lot of people.

Zeynep

Amazing Swedish meatballs served with graving berries and potatos . House beer is also recommended.

Helle Jensen

The food was excellent and the waiters welldressed and so serviceminded. Super atmosphere, we’ll be back!

The Telegraph

Stay in Södermalm for an excellent dinner at Pelikan (0046 8 5560 9090; pelikan.se; mains around £20). The wood-panelled former beerhall offers hearty fare so Swedish it’s almost retro .

Jordi Parra

The meatballs are epic, but consider giving the pork knuckle a try too. It is amazing! Kudos to the staff as well , super friendly .

Abhisek Parichha

I tried the pelikan special meatballs along with the house beer . The portion size was very good.

Emre Zeytinci

Delicious meals off course meatballs are the best. The drink they give you for start tastes like turkish rakı :)

Dany Willis

As Swedish as it gets, excellent food and lots of Scandinavian delicacies.

GIANLUCA RUGGIERO

A fin-de-siécle pub , open until 1 o'click in the morning, offering big tasty portions of deli food at the candle light . Try the Fläsklägg , but also the mythical swediah meatballs deserve a try here.

Dilsad Karpat

If you would like to try classic Swedish food , this is the place...Do not forget to make a reservation in advance.

Staffan Holmgren

Love this place! Get meatballs , Visby beer and dont forget to start off with S.O.S and a "snaps". Be sure that you are hungry upon arrival, huge portions .

You can spend hours leafing through the huge beer list, I know I did! Can get very crowded so come early especially on weekends. Cantillon and lots of rare vintage beers. Good food too. - Kalle R
