Punk Royale - Stockholm Food Stories

Review analysis
food   drinks  

And that sets the tone; a dinner at Punk Royale is unlike any other dining experience in Stockholm.

The gratinated lobster is served straight from a cast iron pan, and the only tensile on the table is a spoon to scoop up whatever you can’t eat with your hands.

And overall the dishes are really good, sometimes lacking that final touch to elevate it to perfection and sometimes a bit too heavy on the salty side – but this is a dining experience that is unparalleled to anything in town.

It is dishes paired with vodka shots, beer, Punch and actually some really good wines.

And having read this far you may think that is a lot about the show and the props used, but I can assure you that it is more to a visit to Punk Royale than just some crazy props and a fun time, it is equally about good food as well.

Kalle places a big chunk of caviar on the back of our hands.

In Stockholm, the closest comparison is possibly Lilla Ego, with their pickle shots and marker pen-written menus on big flipboard sheets taped to the wall.

Chef duo Joakim Almqvist and Kalle Nilsson had apparently been evicted in 2014 from their original location, Kåken, inside restaurant Niklas.

– Last time I was here, I dropped a piece of banana with caramel sauce on the floor, and the chef just threw another one at me from the kitchen, said our table companion, Henke, who dined here for the second time.

The only reason this post has pictures is that I had applied for an exception to that rule through my friend and fellow foodie Tove Henckel, aka OnMyTable.se, who is one of the regular guests at Punk Royale – or Punken as the locals refer to it.

Hits spelas på hög volym och rökmaskiner fyller rummet med mystik, allt är nytt och spännande och man rycks med direkt.

Maten som kommer in i ett högt tempo var långt över förväntan då jag trodde att mycket handlade om upplevelsen, men det som serverades på bland annat handen, i spruta, via sked eller på talriken var helt fantastiskt god!!!

Förutom en varmrätt (höna) som ingen i sällskapet ville äta upp och efterrätten (kanelbulle) som var sådär, synd men ingen stor sak då man får så många rätter.

Minus för servicen, servitriserna hade någon typ av "attityd", motsatsen till varm och mysig, kockarna som kommer ut ibland var trevligare - men jag undrar om detta var en del av hela konceptet.

A Once-Dead Stockholm Enclave Gets a Shot of Youthful Energy ...

The energy swirling through the restaurant stood in stark contrast to its location: a forlorn block on the eastern edge of Sodermalm, an island that has been caricatured as alternately sinister (in best-selling Swedish crime novels) or trendsetting (see its No. 3 spot on Vogue’s “15 Coolest Neighborhoods in the World” list).

At least not in comparison to nearby Nytorget, a square ringed with trendy restaurants and cafes in the heart of SoFo, as the neighborhood south of Folkungagatan is called.

Instead, eastern Sodermalm is one of the island’s last undeveloped pockets, a Wild West (or, rather, East) where imaginative young locals are now building a drinking and dining scene that diverges from the capital’s buttoned-up style.

“Living here, I could never go down to SoFo or Nytorget and find a seat to sit,” said Anna Axelsson, a longtime resident of eastern Sodermalm.

The casual spot opened in October 2015 with house-made noodles in the tonkotsu ramen, pendant lamps illuminating communal tables and a logo designed by the Swedish street artist Disey; three months later, it won the annual “Best Restaurant: Budget” award chosen by Dagens Nyheter, Sweden’s largest newspaper.
