Als Farang werden in Thailand die weißen Ausländer (Langnasen) bezeichnet. Und es wird auch gerne als Spice-Level beim Essen verwendet (Farang-Style heißt immer nicht scharf). Das scheint bei diesem Lokal hier auch Programm zu sein. Ich habe noch nie einen Mango-Salat in Asien gegessen an dem gar keine Chillies (Fischsoße oder dried Schrimps) waren 🙁
Also das Farang hatte heute wieder nach der Sommerpause aufgemacht und da dachte ich mir als Vorbereitung für nächste Woche gönne ich mir das. Die Bewertung auf Google ist hoch und es war auch eine Empfehlung in der Michelin-App. Für mich war es größtenteils eine Enttäuschung. Ich hatte das Tasting-Menü genommen. Gut waren aber maximal 3 von den 8 Gerichten. Der begleitende Wein ging so. Der aufgerufene Preis für das ganze war nicht wirklich gerechtfertigt.
Ealier this fall, we arrived at the restaurant shortly after 13:30 but were told we would not be seated and asked to leave. However, the restaurant’s email confirmation no where stated that we would loose our table if we were running late. In fact, it clearly states that we would have the table until 14:45!I explained to the receptionist we were willing to only eat one course if you insisted. They also couldn’t suggest they gave up our table for another, as the restaurant was empty. Instead, they obviously took the commercial decision to close early (because the restaurant was under-utilised) and, in so doing, elected to disappoint an actual paying customer keen to eat there!
On our first night in Stockholm we heading down to Farang after much research.This place is vast, and packed for a Tuesday night.We opted for the tasting menu, paired with a French bottle of Riesling.As for the food, we could fault it in both taste or presentation. It was dance on your senses in terms of flavour, texture and presentation. If we had one negative point, it would be that the dish should be serviced hot rather than Luke warm.The service was expectational. Our waiter was, attentive, well versus on the menu and a good understanding on the wines on offer.Overall we give our experience 4/5. To achieve a 5, the food needs to come out pipping hot. We left it was likely left on the pass too long.
Great place! Large open and yet intimate restaurant. Perfect service where the plates disappear without you seeing it. Great food and fun drinks with an Asian twist. The conversation menu has a wide range of tastes and every dish was delicious! Especially the crispy pork and the salad with the soft shell crab. The ending with young coconut tastes just like in Thailand!
Its so rare that everything is perfect in one place. Enchanting atmosphere from the very step to the dining room. You might expect snobbish service people in such posch looking place. Buuuuuut... All you find is very very friendly and knowledgeable service. However, these are only the service. The real stuff, beyond this world experience starts with the first bite of the food. This is Asian food touching heavens before entering your mouth. The dancing of spices and ingredients will mesmerize you and from that point on you will always wanna come back here again
Wir have been treated to an exceptional dinner at Farang by our business partners. Yet another crossover style (open) kitchen with a leaning towards Asian cuisine. The service and time span between ordering and getting plates on the table was remarkably, or rather short, given the fact that it could be labeled a highly frequented "in" restaurant in Stockholm. The special prok belly dish was outstanding to say the least.
I love the food . Waiters were so nice and attentive. But allowing kids into the restaurant kinda ruins it . There was a baby crying the entire time. And some people speak so freakin’ loud . It’s a restaurant not a bar . I’m surprised how ill mannered they can be. The place is great and can be better with a quieter atmosphere
Farang is huge, noisy and busy. We had the signature menu and thought the flavors were pretty good, but the execution of dishes very inconsistent and pacing a bit rushed. You could tell this is a place where they try to serve as many people as they can per night (which is understandable). Overall ok but felt it was slightly pricey for what was being offered.
Very good, but roti was a disaster, too thin and very greasy. Palm sugar pork extremely sweet like a dessert. Red curry lovely but also too sweet. Leaf incredible and so was the sashimi and coconut ice cream. The stir fry too sweet again. They should go easy on the sugar.... the softshell crab a bit bitter as it was left in to fry too long. The salad with it incredible. Would return but avoid too sugary dishes. Heard the menu has not changed much for past 8 years. Wines great, whisky sour good as well.
The venue is dimly lit. So it has rather "mysigt", cosy romantic candlelit vibes minus the candles. The tables are also kind of small and close together. Suitable for intimate dinners. Though, there are spotlights individually directed to you can see all the food.The menu felt like upscale comfort food with comparatively affluent pricing... but it is not really fine dining. So it kind of feels mismatched to the rest of the ambience. But if you enjoy the Asian food palate, it's a pretty solid meal. South East Asian fusion cuisine but the flavours are very familiar, almost pedestrian.The crispy pork signature dish lacked depth but was still deliciously sticky and moreish. If you get the tasting menu, highlights include the sashimi and cha plu leaf dishes. The roti was kind of crumbly? a bit too thick, stiff and 'stale-y'. Almost like they did not add enough water to the dough.The mocktails were alright. The lychee flavour in mine was actually really decent, sad it was drowned out by the accompanying mint flavour. The young coconut icecream is probably the best coconut ice cream I've had in Scandinavia.
Fantastic dining experience. My wife booked the restaurant for my birthday while in Stockholm and it did not disappoint. The great setting makes for a classy but relaxed ambience. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. Food was delicious and vegetarian friendly. We opted for the vegetarian set menu which was superb and very generous with the portion sizes. The broccoli satay was awesome. Extensive wine menu and good range of after dinner drinks. Overall can't fault it. Will book again when back in Stockholm.
Staff is very nice and welcoming in the restaurant and by phone. Dogs are not allowed in but they nicely installed us on a comfortable table outside.The food is delicious and generous. Definitely recomand!
Many visits through the years and never disappointed. Amazing food and drinks at reasonable prices. The conspet of share food works very well no matter you're two people or a bigger group.
Loved the vibe and food. Such unique concept about so many dishes, particularly how they are served. I totally loved the masamman curry with roti, it’s a must try side order. Also the starters were unique and served on the edible leaf. Desserts were also yummy, like this fresh coconut flavor icecream and fresh mint.
Upscale dining in heart of Stockholm. Amazing selection of food. Perfect for a business meeting. Service was impeccable and ambiance was amazing too. Plenty of choices across food and drink. Definitely recommend if in Stockholm, even for a special celebratory dinner.
We had a sharing menu and everything was really good. Staff was really nice and helpful and the food tastes good. It was too loud though. Would have given 4.5 stars because of that but there is no option of half stars🤷♂️
The food is delicious but for me it was not the right atmosphere for such an expensive restaurant. I felt like I paid a lot of money to eat in a canteen.The cocktails were the best I have had in Stockholm.
A truly memorable meal at a special restaurant serving Southeast Asian cuisine. From the service (hope you get Markus!) to the decor to the food, it’s all worth a visit! And not a drop of mayo or a herring in sight.
Very good food! We enjoyed the tasting menu which was amazing. I was a bit dissapointed by the wine package though - it did not fit the food and I would recommend to get a beer.
It is like a fancy foodcourt, very close to Östermalm Station. You can have a coffee, grab a drink, have lunch or dinner. There is also an outside serving area. You will find traditional Swedish food, in addition to other cuisines.
Tasting Menu:- Great service- Great portions (You will not leave hungry. I recommend to not eat too much of the rice for a tasting experience)- Mostly superb food with good variety- Southeastern food was represented well.5/5 in terms of overall satisfaction.4/5 in terms of the tasting experience compared to other Michelin Guide restaurants.
Staff was brilliant, food was excellent and we were so full we barely could walk home after. Highly recommended. We had the vegan and Farang menus, which were both excellent
