About this place Mälarpaviljongen

Mälarpaviljongen is a seasonal waterfront bar and restaurant with a floating terrace on Lake Mälaren, best known as a summer drinking spot with views across the water. It is a mainstream venue with a long-standing reputation as gay-friendly, and on warm evenings the crowd includes plenty of gay men and women, but it is not a gay bar. It is essentially a fair-weather place. The terrace season runs roughly from spring to early autumn, and sunny weekends get busy, so arrive early for a waterside table. Expect Stockholm prices for drinks. Check the website for current opening dates before you go.

A very mediocre self-service restaurant. The burger 🍔 was very poor and very expensive, served with chips. Definitely not a good restaurant, look elsewhere.

“-“: the service is not much interested at their guests, willing to peck up your plate even cutleries are on the paus position. The tables are dirty. Too much ice in aperol. “+”: the location, the view. Toilets are clean and authentic. Food is ok, but beautifully presented. You order at the counter and pay right away.

Not to be missed, on the seafront, typical Swedish pastries, excellent savoury dishes too, and wonderful waitresses, which never hurts.
