Erlands

I came here for dinner and some good drinks.
They do take reservations although the place is quite small.
As a start the maitred was extremely friendly, as was all of the staff.
The drinks is all about matching your taste to flavour. Do so, it’s not cheap, but worth it. I enjoy a drink I can sip in comfort for a long while.
The menu is short; which I like. They have the concept of small dishes that serve both as appetisers and main courses. We shared coldcuts and olives among the t three of us as an appetiser.
The moules were good and plenty of them.
The steak tartar was really tasty.
Wine list was short, but thought through. I had more than one option to choose from.
Dessert menu did not excite and was skipped.
On the drawbacks, we met the rush towards the main course and wait times got long. The waitress recognised this and deducted coffee from our tab.
I do recommend a visit. If only for sipping a drink.
Bring your mom here if you book a table.

Small, friendly, enthusiastic, crowded, engaged, competent and deliberately old-​fashioned. The bartender suddenly executed a swift, wavelike, reality-​distorting dance, which briefly made me question the immutability of space and time.

I feel like I must specify that this rating is for one specific time we were there, because in general respect we LOVE Erlands but this weekend when we were there we were served caffe lattes that were lukewarm and had a bits of coffee grinds mixed in.
We didn’t recognize the server/​barista (?) when we got in (usually it’s another person or group of persons). There weren’t a lot of people, but we still had to wait for a pretty long time for our coffees.
Apart from this, Erlands is sucha cute and quaint café with a really nice authentic mid-​1900s interior which feels like a lot of love has been put into in. Ususally coffees are GREAT here, so I really do hope that the people working there this past weekend were not the new permanent staff…

It might be too early to write a review because I would like to go back, the drag is they don’t have much outdoor seating but they do open the front window so that the downstairs is at least open to the air. I liked the atmosphere of the place a lot, especially upstairs which feels like a classic 50 lounge. The music was right on with the classic, vintage décor. My friend tried to order a coke (and whether they had it or not) got up-​sold into trying «Curiosity Cola» which was like a tiny bottle of coke with ginger. Never heard of that brand but she liked it. I personally really wanted a pie and coffee but it was either too late for pie or the fika stuff was gone so I ended up with a espresso milkshake — I would say it was «OK». Not bad, but not really impressive — what was impressive was how the girl changed my mind from just grabbing a black coffee to getting the espresso milkshake to mend the dream I had of pie and coffee. Are you noticing the theme of up-​selling mastery here? When it feels like thoughtful suggestions then it’s a positive experience! Another friend got a different milkshake and it was the highlight of his night, lol. He loved it. And I saw something I am so not used to seeing in Sweden — the barista came outside and asked him if he liked it and I could tell was genuinely interested in the response (the barista recommended this flavor over the one my friend had originally wanted)!
I like their style and I would DEFINITELY like to come back here in the winter and sit upstairs and watch it snow. I hear the food is good, Unilocal’ers. I am going to return, and you should too!

This place is enchanting! Tiny, cosy and stylish. Literally the place can fit maybe 20 people, but it’s a good thing. It almost feels like someone’s home with age-​old photos of the owners grandpa, authentic furniture from the fifties and soothing tunes from past decades.
I was here in the afternoon and since I was hungry I ordered the ‘räksallad’, which was good. It had tons of shrimps, avocado, lettuce, tomato etc. and a really nice lemony garlic sauce. The only minuses come from the somewhat soggy iceberg salad leaves and over boiled egg. I had a nice glass of Riesling with it. I’ve heard that they serve also nice coffee and good cocktails so this place seems to be perfect for any time of the day except for the morning.
Can’t wait to be back!
Edit: This place also has WiFi and I must say that my heart skipped a beat when I heard the password. P e r f e c t o !

Very nice café, I like the décor and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommended. And I would recommend their shrimp sandwich.
