"Juicy (I’d guess they were made from a mix of beef and pork) and tantalisngly aromatic, they were the stuff that Swedish meatball legends are made of, if such a legend exists."

Leyla Kazim

"Praise be to the Viking gods, these were exceptional. Soft and melting in the mouth, these were moist and beautifully savoury, detecting a good amount of heat from the liberal use of pepper in the seasoning."

Natália Ordasi

"Where to eat Swedish food in Stockholm: Restaurant Pelikan - Amazing Toast Skagen which is a typical Swedish dish. A toast with lots of prawns mixed with a mayonnaise sauce. (My favourite Swedish dish so far!)."

Simone Chen

"Dense and meaty balls (no delicate way to put this!). Very hearty and filling."

Jeffrey Donenfeld

"I had to have them, as cheesy as it may sound. Was a great, warm, tasty restaurant and meal."

Sean Naughton

"This is one of the best places to try more rustic Swedish cuisine (called husmanskost), like meatballs."

Anja Olergård

"We shared a Toast Skagen for starters. The best I have eaten. The bread was still hot when we got it. And the prawns are superb."

Clea Herlöfsson

"There is basically only one word you need to keep in mind and that is meatballs. Pelikan has the best ones."

Lotta Zachrisson

"The most popular Swedish meatballs comes with mashed or boiled potatoes, creamy sauce and lingonberries – and it's delicious."

Anastasia Bow-Bertrand

"Pelikan doesn’t merely offer a taste of home from home, but rather elevates the department store stakes with a restaurant that offers an award-winning menu, notably with excellent meatballs."
