F12

Despite all the good reviews in the press and its award-winning status, F12 is one of the most over-rated restaurants in Stockholm. The decor is clean and post-modern. The waiters and waitresses are, though trying their very best to be friendly and professional, appear to be just a little too stiff. The menu, divided into five themes, requires extensive explanation: each dish is in an hors d'oeuvre portion, and so in order to satisfy an appetite for a normal three-course dinner, one has to order at least four to five dishes. True, each dish looks like a miniature food sculpture, and the ingredients are carefully mixed in a most exotic manner. But the food is prepared with more precision than feelings, and the portion is insultingly small--smaller than children's portions--definitely not worth the money.

Perhaps the only compensation for our disappointing dining experience was the setting. Housed in the Royal Academy of Art, just across the water from the parliament building and Gamla Stan, the view is no doubt quite spectacular. The outdoors terrace bar, with its comfortable lounge chairs and cushions, is open after 9pm during the summer months and has a special theme every night. There is also a small, minimalist bar within the restaurant. The clientele is mostly the bon-chic-bon-genre type in their 20s and 30s. Our recommendation: if you don't have much appetite (or are on a diet) but have a thick wallet, or if you have a hot date and would rather focus more on each other's eyes than your own stomach, definitely go for F12. Otherwise, skip the meal and head straight to the disco bar instead.
