Review of Piren Bar

Helena, as we talked about when we had dinner at Mäster Anders the other day, we promised to let you know how Piren Bar was after our visit there. For short, you do not need to visit!

The food is only OK, and you would expect something more for that price. The desert, a rhubarb pie with vanilla ice cream was a real disappointment – it was a rhubarb compote topped with pieces of cardamom rusk (kardemummaskorpor). Cold. I had expected a yummy hot delicious rhubarb pie directly from the oven with melting creamy vanilla ice cream on top.

We had a visit to Mancini at Tunnelgatan as well. It is in the same price range but much better experience, if you like Italian food. The food was excellent and you could feel the personnel loved Italian food and were proud of working at Mancini, whereas at Piren Bar the service was not bad but you felt the personnel did not really care if they worked there or at any other restaurant in Stockholm.

Another long day of shopping and walking. We had lunch as a sushi restaurant in Hötorgshallen. Then we continued shopping again. We finally ended up buying another bag for me to carry all the things back to Tokyo 🙂

In the evening we made a quick visit to my old work place Eurostep. On our previous visit they had been conveniently located on Drottninggatan in the same building as Zara. But now they had moved to Alvik. Though this was not far away from the Piren Bar where we had a reservation at 6 pm. Eurostep’s new location though not convenient if you want to borrow the bathroom while shopping had a great view of the water. And a very nice and large balcony for the few warm summer days 🙂



At 6 pm we entered Piren Bar. They had mixed up my last name so we almost did not get a table (which was not easy to book in the first place). The whole thing with Piren Bar is their location. Along the water in Kristineberg. A great place to watch the sunset while having something to eat and drink. Though the eating and drinking is just so so (Helena, you really don’t need to go here for dinner – Mancini is almost the same price but lightyears better).



After dinner we hurried back to the hotel where we packed for our return to Tokyo the next day. By luck, once we had packed all our bags full, we found yet another shopping bag behind the curtain in our room. We squeezed the content into our bags, jumped on them and zipped them up 🙂 Good night!
