Garbo's

I went to this restaurant a year ago so it might have changed since then. Maybe my expectations were too high to start with but it just didn't feel like an authentic experience.

1. We were being served by an eastern european waitress

2. The food didn't taste like it should. I ordered kåldolmar and they just didn't taste right. I am swedish myself and I have eaten many kåldolmar in my life.

3. I went to the toilet and passed the kitchen. There were three Thai chefs.

4. They only had one kind of swedish beer to choose from.

No wonder it didn't feel authentic when no one is swedish. I was disappointed.

Overall good experience of the Swedish cooking world. I had Johanson temptation and it was good, I recommend the Garbo's rice pudding for dessert , a mix between the traditional nordic rice cake (cream , almond) and Creme brulee. We were just a bit disapointed for the main dish, the kotbullar and the sauce were tasteless. The upside of this restaurant is it recreates very well a little piece of Sweden (decoration, selection of dishes) and it is in the middle of the Swedish quarter. Gustaf + Simona

We were in a group of 20 people who dined at Garbo's on Saturday 18th April 2009.

This was a faultless dining experience and everyone agreed.

We contacted the restaurant in advance and they were more than happy to cater for everything we requested. Very flexbile indeed.

Our choice of food varied and everything was served to a high standard-Salmon, Lamb, Chicken, Beef - all delicious.

The owner and staff were superb, approachable, friendly and genuine. We could not ask for more.
