The most anonymous part of the Högbergsgatan – between Swedenborgsgatan and Timmermansgatan – new-bistroliv. Thank you for that.
In the fall opened the Café Cuvée of the two restaurant academy-foxes, sommeliern Tina Trigg, known from TV4:s morgonsoffa, and chef Markus Löfgren. An open and inviting neighbourhood restaurant in the red and the green, where the French inspired blackboards are contrasted with images of the eternal Söderprofilen Slas on the walls. The cross-border meeting between France and Sweden is visible, of course, also on both the menu as the wine list.
it is now widespread mellanrättskonceptet (main courses are soon to be as endangered as Sumatratigrar) and at the Krogkommissionens visit only one major exclusive on the menu: duck breast with golden pumpakräm, rich red wine sauce and butter-fried mushrooms for sek 225. A warm, harmonious, plate comfortfood that will fit in the winter cold, but not directly surprised.
The French-inspired apéritiferna is a nice start to the dinner. A glass of pastis of a good brand and a dollop of homemade tapenade with fröknäcke is a nice combo for 95 sek. Also a glass of burgundy wine to an unusually airy and easy clicks kycklinglevermousse with cornichons (80 kr).

A couple of, three second courses (80-175 sek) is required to be measured. Some are really gorgeous – easy-pan-fried langoustine with hazelnuts and browned butter ($165), the perfect burratan with auberginekräm, peppers and capers (125) or the chef’s steak fries-variant in miniature with béarnaise sauce which tastes homemade and is supported by a very small mountain of finhyvlad, crispy, potatoes (175 sek). Also the kitchen unnecessarily small salmon tartar, where the corn-mushrooms, red cabbage and soy offer distinct flavors (145 sek). And with a modest serving of Cavatelli pasta in a deep plate (115 sek) lost in seven quick bites.
the best is this the pub that is to be hembjuden to kompisgängets best hemmakock when he decided to impress.
to compose a varied menu on the basis of the twenty or so different dishes offered. Larger groups can, with advantage, take in three, four variants were and share. It may look easy to collect a number of frankofila favorites on a menu, but the Café Cuvée may KK desire to come back to try everything. It does not happen often.

Desserts are unfortunately not Café Cuvées paradgren. Imagination flaws. The house komboerbjudande Café Gourmand ($165) promises much more than what you can keep: a cup of coffee with a small piece of dry blueberry shake, a miniskål crème brûlée and a small cup of Valrhona-mousse. Just the latter stands out with depth of flavor, but as a whole lacks this potential efterrättsymfoni tonträff and imagination.
Kallskänkens habila crème brûlée can also be obtained in a greater allocation of sek 95 and is eaten up without critical remarks, but is served by every other restaurant in Stockholm.
Something far more exciting is that the download in the rich French desserttraditionen?
when it is half empty in the building, the less good a crowded Friday night with upwards of fifty eating at the tables and a lively bunch at the bar. When deficiencies servisens logistics, no impossible thing to fix fortunately. It should not be impossible to build it away at times annoying rattle in this textilfattiga local. Hearty absorbers and overhaul of the kitchen, machinery and piping spares both the staff and gives the become more loyal guests.

Krognamnet Café Cuvée – cuvée means wine barrel or tank, but the word used also for a particular qualitative blending or juicing of, for example, champagne or bordeaux are well chosen. The versatile and affordable menu, the ample and varied wine list and the casual atmosphere is in harmony exceptionally nicely.
KK:p seconded commissioners are happy here. With small adjustments, this laid-back dining room all the possibilities to become a stammisställe, like Luntmakargatans Café Facile, wired for Söderbor.
