"The meatballs with mashed potatoes and lingonberries are sensational."

Matt Long

"I’ve tried Swedish meatballs many times in my life, but the version at Tranan was by far the best I’ve ever enjoyed."

"The meatballs (köttbullar) are excellent and well worth a try."

Excuse Me Waiter

"The meatballs are soft and tender and not at all overcooked. However, the sauce is what topped it off; it is thick and is made of a reduced beef stock and blackberry jam, giving it a gravy consistency with some sweetness. It is a very heavy sauce, so it goes well with our Swedish sweet and sour condiments along with the side of creamy mashed potatoes. The meatballs are an absolute stunner."

Laura Grai

"The meatballs and accompanying sides were, quite simply, delicious."

James O'Brien

"The hand-made meatballs are slightly larger than most Swedes are used to. They tasted terrific and they were very filling."

Christina Nydahl

"This classic establishment opened in 1929 and is widely considered to serve the best meatballs in the city - despite the fact that they are not even featured on the menu."

"It was so good, I would consider doing a stopover in Stockholm just for meatballs. It was well worth the intrigue and the journey and I would happily do it again... and again… and again!"
