Joined a group of friends for an “after work” at restaurant/bar Två on Rörstrandsgatan yesterday evening. The company and wine was great, the food “lagom”.
Rörstrandsgatan is one of my favorite streets in Stockholm, crammed with cozy bars, value-for-money restaurants and good cafes. Två itself is a place which usually attracts a young, professional kind of crowd and has a kind of classy, trendy atmosphere without the “Stureplan” feeling.
We’d been there a few months back for an “after work” and it was great – my beef dish, and the caesar salad which I tested were mouth-watering. The wine menu and cocktail list are pretty good and it’s just a nice place to meet friends and talk after work.
They’d changed the menu since the last time I’d visited (in February) to a more summery one with plenty of salads, antipasti, seafood dishes and a burger or two. Unfortunately, this time the food didn’t blow me away so much. I guess I could say it was “lagom” (so-so) … both the caesar salad and the fish stew. I got bacon on my caesar salad but they forgot it on my friend’s – when she asked they brought her along a little bowl of it. Another friend’s plate of mussels were pretty good but I’ve had better in Stockholm, and with a bigger portion of french fries alongside it. And it took AGES to order our food and for it to arrive even though the waitress was friendly and pretty quick to top up our water glasses and to take drinks orders. The bill took even longer to arrive when we asked for it. The highlight for me was the Chardonnay Marlborough which at SEK 110 a glass was far from cheap … but worth it after a hard working week. And the company!
I like Två so even though the food and service last night was a bit disappointing, I’m not going to give up on it yet. I’ll be back and let’s see maybe it’ll be great again the next time. Perhaps the chef was off sick, you never know… Let me know if you’ve eaten there recently and what you thought!
