Stora Karlsoe Restaurangen - Gotland

We visited a restaurant on Stora Karlsö one night and were delighted with the island, the natural surroundings, and the room we stayed in. The overall experience was worth recommending, as we were extremely happy with it. We had made a reservation for a 3-course meal and were scheduled for 8pm. When we arrived, we were able to help ourselves to a cold buffet with pickled and smoked fish for starters. Unfortunately, the buffet was infested with flies, with flies crawling on the fish and even a dead one in the pickled herring. The salads were not replenished, and one-third of the items were already gone. For the main course, we were expecting paella with fish, clams, and squid, but what we received was cooked wheat berries, the same fish from the starter buffet, and no squid. A saffron aioli attempted to mimic the paella flavor, and the clams seemed to be canned. This was not what we had anticipated. The dessert was decent, but the floor behind us was covered in dead flies. The overall hygiene of the food was questionable, and the ingredients seemed cheap for the high price we paid. We left the restaurant feeling very disappointed.

If you're visiting Gotland, you absolutely must check out this restaurant. It offers a one-of-a-kind wildlife setting that you can't find anywhere else, along with top-notch food and friendly service. The restaurant is run by a young and talented crew who put a modern spin on classic Swedish dishes. If you can, spend the night in one of their rooms to fall asleep to the calming sounds of the unique birds that inhabit the steep cliffs surrounding the island.

Everything was excellent and the waiter had a well groomed mustasch. Loved the cod! And the dessert!

This restaurant on the island stora karlsö is manned by various teams, different years, in this year they make a good job! the building is located in the harbour and has recommended a beautiful view.

Lovely view in the restaurant. Good food after a walk around the island.
