The French menu is inspired by both rural countryside cooking as well as luxurious metropolitan bistros.Chez Jolie is arguably one of Stockholm’s hottest openings this year. Mikael Einarsson - one of Sweden's best classically-trained chefs who’s been an important force in some of the most beloved restaurants in town - is the captain here, and the love for France is clear.The menu is inspired by both rural countryside cooking as well as luxurious metropolitan bistros. Parts of the menu are anchored in French classics, others more creative interpretations. If you’re into offals, there's also good options that I can vouch for. Backed by a 500-bin wine list, the focus is not surprisingly on high quality French wines, delving deep into the classic regions. The last few pages also hold some sought-after wines from, for example, Italy and California. If you would like to forgo ordering individual bottles, there’s also a good selection by the glass.
Bar Nîmes is a bustling bistro known for its rustic dishes inspired by the Provence-Piedmont region. The establishment, founded by Finnish chef Kim Öhman, offers generous and reasonably priced dishes, including daily handmade pastas, that are prepared with passion and simplicity. In addition to the food, Bar Nîmes also features a handpicked selection of old-world wines, making it a great spot for both food and wine enthusiasts.

Simple, crowded, noisy – and wonderfulBar Nimes is an ambitious operation in the disguise of a noisy, tightly packed corner bar. Founded by the Finnish chef Kim Öhman, co-owner of Stockholm’s popular Farang (and with a work history in Fat Duck and Per Se), the food philosophy is a no-nonsense combination of Southern France and Piedmont. The generous and reasonably priced dishes seem simple but are made with big passion, the daily handmade pastas being a prime example. We chose pissaladiere, salad of fresh artichokes, agnolotti del plin, tajarin with truffles, pepper steak & milk chocolate sorbet, and everything was as good as it gets. The wine list follows the same principles as the food. Handpicked old-world wines with good price/quality. Öhman has said, that his goal was to create a timeless place that could be there forever and in which he himself would love to dine every week. That summarizes Bar Nimes perfectly.
