Went there in the evening to try the “à la carte” menu. I’m hesitating between 2 and 3 stars because I think the service was really nice and attentive. If it were for the service alone, I would give Chouchou at least 4 stars.

Now what about the food? I am not a vegan but I love good vegan food. As in food that was designed to be vegan to start with, as opposed to vegan versions of meat or fish dishes. That was not it. For that reason I am very unlikely to ever go back and that’s why I can only give it 2 stars.
I understand that the concept is to make “fake” food. And in that context I suppose you may appreciate the effort as in “this is not that bad for fake meat/pulled pork/ salmon/cheese/lamb”.
But to my taste it wasn’t “not that bad”; it was just not good. We shared some dishes as so we got to try quite a few different ones. The pulled pork baos had a filling that was way too sour. We couldn’t finish it. The hummus (what’s wrong with just plain hummus? That’s vegan right?) was sprinkled with fake lamb. So strange. I had the pesto pasta thinking it was the least risky but the amount of raw garlic in there was terrifying. There is such a thing as too much raw garlic. My friends could not finish the truffle pizza or the “lionsmane” (some locally sourced mushroom?) with papaya salad.
So here you go: if you are vegan and looking for a place that goes out of its way for you, then that’s probably it. But if you are not then you know: there is better food elsewhere.

Best Italian espresso in town. So nice with a little Italian vibe around Stureplan.

I wanted to give this one 5 stars because I loved their sister restaurant at K25 (recently closed down). The food is still great, so 5 stars for that! Very rich but oh so tasty plate of fresh spaghetti with your choice or carbonara, amatriciana, tomato and burrata or pesto (and more!).
Unfortunately the wait was just unbearable. We came in at 12:15 for a “quick” Friday lunch and got out food at 12:55. This included queuing for the order and then waiting for the food to arrive. 40 minutes wait for lunch is too much.
The restaurant is obviously understaffed. The empty plates wait 10-20 minutes on the tables where the guests have already left and the kitchen ran out of plates! So we got our pasta served or should I say crammed in what looked like a glass salad bowl.
Sorry. I do love the food but I will wait a while until I make the detour back to Odenplan for lunch. I so hope they will improve 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Excellent food and service. Got the trout last time and it was perfectly cooked with a trout roe sauce. Ordered the baby roasted potatoes as a side and I dreamt about them afterwards.

Always great. Anything from mini pizzas to lobster spaghettis tastes great. Love the fried zucchini with aioli to share as a starter.

One of my favourite Friday lunches. The “KGB” (stands for Korean Barbecue Grill!) is a pile of chicken, aubergine, portobello mushrooms and pork on top of fries, with a Korean mayo and Nu’s “chimichurri”. A Friday lunch dream come true… but for the other days when you prefer a balanced meal, the lunch special, a bowl with brown rice and a choice of aubergine or chicken with sauces and pickles is perfect. I personally prefer the aubergine. I’m addicted to this place so I’m upgrading it to 5 stars (from 4).

It is hard to decide how to rate this place. I hesitated between a 2 and a 3 but in reality it’s everything from a 5 to a 1. A 5 for the party atmosphere and outside terrace, end of June, just magical. 3-4 for the food which got some real compliments from some of the friends I was with. I took the pasta alle vongole and they were just ok. The portion was a little small for me and the whole thing lacked subtlety - drowned in oil and garlic. But lots of vongole, which was a plus.

Now what leads me to taking this down to a 2... The welcoming from the host/bouncer was mostly an unwelcoming. Although we had booked a table, we were greeted very drily and told to wait outside of the restaurant terrace for almost 15 minutes because our table wasn’t ready. Almost unapologetically! We were told: “you understand, we must clear your table. We don’t want you to sit at a table that isn’t clean.” But it took 15 minutes to clean the table? Beyond the wait, it’s really the attitude. The unwelcoming non-smile. The way of saying “Really? You have a reservation? Let me check… ah yeah. You’ll be so kind to wait out here.”

Then the service! We ordered a bottle of Chablis and waited a good 15 minutes for it, to find out it was from the “storage” and wasn’t cold! So we asked for a replacement and got a bottle that was 80% more expensive than the first one, which we only found out about because we asked… slightly worried at the sight of the mention “Premier Cru” on the label. I asked: “is this bottle not going to be a lot more expensive?” And the waitress said: “no it’s in the same price category. 1200 instead of 750.”
We found another replacement.

The food came after about 40 minutes wait. And at the end, as we ordered the desserts, we had to ask “did we really finish that bottle of wine?” (we had only had one glass each) - the waitress realised she had put our bottle in a cooler behind a counter somewhere and brought it to us. Without a smile or an apology.

So yes, if service and warm welcome is a must for you, this is a 1. If you only care about the cool vibe, it’s a 5. I could be generous and give it a 3 because in the end I did enjoy my evening with friends there. But I still think that this level of service is inexcusable. I won’t be back soon.

A genuinely delicious place with a wonderfully warm atmosphere. Beautiful dishes made of fresh high quality ingredients. Swedish classics with a Mediterranean or even Asian touch. Inventive in a way that feels like home. Loved the tray of langoustines with a chorizo sauce, the asparagus with XO and cream (who knew this was possible?), the pork chop with caponata, the salad of primeur veg with fresh cheese and strawberries,… even the very first dish which looked like freshly sliced capocollo, a delight!
A small improvement suggestion? The light! We could hardly see what we were eating in the candlelight. But it does have its charm.
I hesitated before giving this place 5 stars, because I would have liked to keep it to myself, but it deserves it.
And from what I’ve noticed in earlier reviews as well as in the restaurants earlier instagram menu posts, prices have come down a little? Perhaps due to ingredient prices but still. It was almost good value!
Now one last advice: it’s worth going there with a table of 4. Since dishes are to share, it makes so much sense. Being 4, we almost got to order the entire menu. Amazing.
I can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful interior and cosy atmosphere. The food is good quality but nothing to write home about in my opinion. The service is very friendly and professional. I’m hesitating between 3 and 4 stars and 3 is a bit severe but 4 stars means I would think about going there often. Unfortunately that is not the case of Ocra. It’s out of the way and I wouldn’t make the detour just to go there. That said, if you are close by, it’s worth a visit especially for the atmosphere.
