I’d been hearing a lot about it and last night I finally made it to Orangeriet. Opened in July, this bar and cafe has quickly become one of the new hot spots in Stockholm. It’s located right on the water in Kungsholmen, directly adjacent to the restaurant Kungsholmen on Norr Mälarstrands kaj. And I have to say it’s cool. Melker Andersson always does a good job with the decor of his restaurants and this place does not disappoint in that regard, although my friend Tracy decided it was perhaps more Barcelona than France or Italy.
True to the idea of an orangery, there were lemon, orange and olive trees inside the conservatory like building. Inside, there was garden-style furniture mixed with rough wooden tables and brightly colored couches while bird cages hung from the ceilings. It felt both cosy and comfortable.
Tracy and I had wine and tried some of the sushi from the bar menu. It was good but not great. But the menu looked good overall, with a lot of appropriately Italian options such as prosciutto, salami and pecorino. While I had heard service was not so good, our waitress was friendly, fast and helpful. I definitely plan to go back soon. Since I’m still camera-less, you’ll have to check out the photos here: Orangeriet.
