Came across this gem on a ferry ride. It was all perfect, the salmon lunch, the wine, the view and most the service!!! Epic find if your ever close. Sit outside in nice weather and live life as the swedes do. Fully and happy!

Staying as I was fifteen minutes walk away on Marinstaden, my host had recommended Restaurant J as a good choice for an evening meal, provided I was capable of negotiating the temporary barriers on the boardwalk between the two while a bridge is being constructed. It was a glorious late afternoon and the sun was blazing down as I walked along the way, accompanied by kayaks and ocean liners making their way along the channel. Soon, the restaurant and other buildings came into view, but the eye is most definitely taken by the beautiful water sculpture that cascades into the sea in a graceful arc right next to Restaurant J. The lovely weather and the amazing architecture would excuse all faults, but in truth Restaurant J did not have that many. I had not booked ahead and the maitre’d was a little diffident at first when I arrived(around 5.30pm), but there were plenty of seats available on this Sunday afternoon and so I was shown to a seat and offered a menu. The initial coolness from the staff dissipated quickly when I ordered the meatballs with lingonberries and the Summer ale to go with it. Before this arrived, I was presented with some very tasty bread rolls, crackers and salted butter, which was a treat for the palate. When the main dish arrived, I was delighted with the taste and the quality of the food. Lingonberries are an unusual choice for me, but these went very well with the main components of the dish and the whole experience was very satisfactory. I was keen to investigate the sculpture in more detail and to head back into the city, so the bill was quickly handled and I was given good advice on the best route for the return journey. An excellent introduction to Swedish cuisine and to the slightly less effusive manner I was to encounter during my stay in Stockholm. The main dish and the single ale cost just under £23, so it’s a little pricey, but the location is worth the extra expense.

The food here is pretty good though not wondrous. All the grilled fish is excellent and the seafood casserole is good too. What really makes this a delightful place is the setting, jutting out into the bay. For a better meal nearby go to Fjaderholmarnas Krog on a little island nearby. We ate perhaps half a dozen meals here in May 2015 while staying at the excellent Hotel J. You can get here via a boat-bus that leaves regularly from downtown Stockholm near Café Linne on Strandvagen on the waterfront.

Even though I live in Nacka Strand I never made it to this restaurant at the harbour. In the summer it is always very very crowded and yesterday for the sake of valentines day my bf and I went there to have brunch, but it turned out they have only brunch on Sundays. Nevertheless, we went inside and took a seat and ordered our main course — we both ate fish because that is something we usually never eat at home and it was delicious. The service was also very good without any issues. I will definitely come back soon maybe next time for a brunch.

Swedish cuisine is all about meatball & potato. Highly recommend Restaurang J’s version. Enjoy the view of Baltic Sea while eating my delicious meatballs and mash!

The type of restaurant where you would go to celebrate birthday, when you need some calm atmosphere out of town, when you want to eat some fish — so, I did all of that: went there on my birthday to have a cosy evening eating fish stew. Nearly the half of the other visitors that day were there according to the same there reasons, which again confirms the that it was the right choice for the evening. The restaurant is mentioned in the Michelin guide, and I am sure it was mentioned on purpose — the food is great and service is outstanding. They do not offer great wine selection, but presented positions were more than good. I would recommend to book a table a bit later in the evening like around 20 as if the restaurant is full, the noise level is very high and it does not facilitate in hearing what your vis-a-vis says. I would come back there again on an sunny summer day for a lunch — the outside area with wooden chairs towards the sea and Djurgården is magnificent. I would come back there for a dinner in the cold winter day — to sit cosily near the fireplace with some good wine.

Came here for drinks after work, and then lunch — the view is fantastic! The food is wonderful too! I had the Poached cod with soused herring and egg in browned butter and sugarsnaps and it was delicious! Good food, good view, what else can you ask for?
