MÄlardrottningen, Riddarholmen

This Swedish restaurant is located on the upper deck of a charming ship dating back to the 1920s, which also contains a hotel and bar.The ship is easy to find, as it 's moored at Riddarholmen, a few minutes walk from the Old Town (Gamla Stan and its Metro Station. It 's worth noting that the restaurant does not open for lunch and is closed on Sunday and Monday. The food was typically Swedish; we shared a starter of herring served 3 ways and accompanied by new potatoes and dill, which was excellent...if you 're a fish lover! For mains, we can recommend our selections of char (similar to salmon served with a prawn/lobster sauce and the classic dish of meatballs. We both chose as dessert what was advertised as chocolate fondant (served with ice cream , which proved to be chocolate cake. Pleasant, but perhaps something was lost in translation. As is universal in Stockholm, even an average wine was relatively expensive (typically SEK 400+ , but there was a good selection of Swedish beer and I can recommend the bottled craft IPA called Miss Behave . The serving staff were very friendly, efficient and professional and made our first evening in Stockholm an enjoyable experience. With coffees, the final bill was around SEK 1,100, which represented good value for restaurant dining in the Old Town.

We ate in the restaurant on two of our four evenings onboard. The food is of very high quality with excellent presentation. As in the rest of Stockholm, the prices were quite high but still good value. Great staff too.

We enjoyed the Restaurant while staying aboard the yacht and definitely had no regrets. The food and Service were excellent. The menu is quite limited but this isn't a problem as all dishes are delightful!! The great food is enhanced by very friendly, attentive staff.

Ok, do not get me wrong: the food was above good and the service was flawless and supportive it was our last night of trip to Europe and we have booked the table (stayed at the same place, on the yacht) with a hope to have a romantic dinner with amazing views offered by this location. Alas, one table was occupied by group of people who were talking russian very loud whole the time (almost 2 hours we have spent there), plus they were accompanied by a toddler who was running around the restaurant. hence our hope for a romantic evening was ruined. when we have tried to point it out to a waitress, she said these folks are owner's relatives, so i assume nothing could be done. we could stay there again, but will not eat at the restaurant to avoid another possible bunch of loud relatives.

I’m aware that nothing is ”cheap” in Stockholm, but this is a bit to much. Having said that, the food is excellent, service is good – and the location is something extraordinary. On the water, with wonderful views in all directions. On a nice and sunny spring day, there aren’t many better places.
