The Old Brewer - Vasastan

Well my very first attempt at Beef Wellington, was a very enjoyable experience. A street seating and the ambiance provided by life on a side street was just right. I only wish I could also attempt their desserts.....older is wiser, so they say.

Food: we shared two small plates. One was the steak sandwich with Dijon and carmelized onions. The Dijon is pretty strong but the sweetness of the onions led to a balanced flavor. I found the bun a bit disappointing—what I would expect to eat in the U.S. but not in Europe. We also got the fried macaroni balls, which were tasty and had a nice presentation. The atmosphere was a bit underwhelming. It was a pretty plain bar with a small outside seating area (mostly shaded at lunchtime). Our server was very friendly and on the ball.

I visited this pub as my first in my first visit to Stockholm. I asked them if they could make me a margarita even though it wasn't on their list, and they did. And I had fish and chips, big portion! They speak perfectly English, many customers speak English. They are very nice. About the prices, it depends on the Country u come from. For me Sweden is very expensive, therefore also this place is rather expensive, for my Country's standards. There were many customers, and the place itself is very nice.

I came to this place on purpose to get a beef wellington, and they didn’t disappoint me. Really good meat, beautifully cooked, the sauce was a bit salty but it matched well the overall composition. I enjoyed the food and also the courtesy of the people working there. Clarifications on the price: i had a beef wellington, 2 glasses of red wine and fries. So 700kr is in my opinion a fair amount.

Fantastic food and bar snacks. Beer is top notch too and the personal is both knowledgeable and super pleasant. Can't recommend the beef Wellington enough.
