Aifur Krog & Bar - Surprisingly a Great Viking-Themed Restaurant

By JC - February 11, 2013

Main Entrance to the Restaurant

If you want a great experience, good food, for a reasonably good price (at least in Sweden standard), then this Viking-themed restaurant is the right place for you.

This is a bit hard to find because it has a narrow opening gate and it seems that first impressions doesn't really do this place justice. I initially thought this place was a bit dodgy because you have to go down some steps to get into the restaurant but once you are in, you are transported to like the Viking period ... with good food and great place for dinner.

Main Course

Lamb racks Dereson

Garlic and honey marinated lamb rack with honey tossed vegetables and sauce from the herb gardens of Constantinople (269 SEK)
This was the best that I have tried among these three meals. The lamb meat was soft and easy to chew. Even without the sauce, it was very tasty as it is. But obviously, this seems to be "safe" and you might want to be more adventurous and try the other 2 dishes below.

Tore Hjort´s Vennison Rolls

Filled with salted pork and plumbs served with parsnip puré and black currents (259 SEK)
Interesting venison rolls stuffed with pork and plumbs. The plumbs add a bit of "sweetness" to the otherwise, very meaty dish.

The Mooseman´s plate

Moose entrecôte, hash browns on root vegetables with creamy mushroom sauce and a little lingonberry (298 SeK)
If you want to try something very Swedish, try this. If you are a meat (or steak person), you will definitely enjoy this plate.

For Drinks:

Swedish Mead (fermented honey) - tasty, fruity, and smooth. It was a perfect combination with the meaty dinner that we had
Polish Mead - was tastier and fruity-ier than the Swedish mead, but since you are in Sweden, might as well try everything Swedish.
