El Cielo - Stockholm

I 'll start with the positives: the food was tasty and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location is also quite convenient taking the City Hall or the Central Station as reference, is about a 10 15 minute walk. The downside is that it is on the expensive end of the scale and that, maybe as a personal note and nuisance, while good and tasty, if they are round shaped, they are donuts not a churros .

The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere and exceptional service. The Tapas were tasty, though slightly small for the price. The desserts, Tiramisu and Churros, were delicious. Overall, we left satisfied with our dining experience.

The food was average at best. Small portions. Tight tables. We had the 50% offer, no way would have paid 100%. Would not go back!

This was the best surprise we had in Stockholm! Looks a little laid back, shady outside seating under the trees, doesn't feel like anything much. But, wow! We were blown away by the fantastic food, the super friendly South American staff, the wine, the service, the drinks, every little detail. From the tapas especially the calamares, the pinchos and the cevice, to the incredible parrilla with loads of perfectly grilled meats (the best I've had since South America), to the superb Tiramisu and the cocktails, we were so happy we could not praise them enough. Also dog friendly. We will be back!

Underwhelming experience with super sweet staff is the summary of our lunch at El Cielo. We had burgers, plain, too greasy and uninteresting. Undercooked fries. No culinary surprises here simply boring. Not trying to be mean here, but there are simply too many good and great restaurants in Stockholm to ever feel the need go back to El Cielo for another mediocre meal. I would hire the waiter in a heartbeat though he was great,
