Absolutely fantastic experience at Världshuset! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening. The food was sublime and the service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel right at home. Highly recommend Världshuset for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

We sat at the outside patio and enjoyed the sun and the very attentive and motivated staff. All of the food was really delicious. The service was really fast and the crowds have been very well managed. Good choice if you visit the island.

The oldest restaurant and pub in/on Sandhamn, should be on your must do list. Upstairs is a dining room with a wide ranging menu and expect to have to book ahead, on the ground floor is a "pub" with a smaller menu, that most will find more than meets your needs. All diets are catered for to a degree, vegans will struggle. The mains and starters we had were great, the fish casserole possibly the best I have ever had. Who knew that pickled herring could be so good. The only disappointment was the pud a caramel cake served with a great vanilla ice cream, the cake element was, for me a little too dense. But still enjoyable. An amusing thing is that Google asks about free or paid for parking even valet parking on an island with no cars or vans. I like AI that's not yet got that.

We had the pleasure of dining here, both at the restaurant and at the pub. The atmosphere is cozy and warm, the staff very friendly and the food impressive. Dont miss the chance to have a lovely meal here with your loved ones!

Recommended fish cuisine. The restaurant in the most important harbor for the Swedish regatta sport offers good fish dishes. Particularly tasty is the Matjes appetizer - very tender and full-bodied fish. But even for non-fish lovers, the kitchen offers refined recipes for an evening out on the island.

Classic Swedish cuisine right by the Sandhamn marina. Plenty of outdoor seating during the warmer months. No reservations needed but there might be a queue on sunny days.

We stopped here on a rainy Sunday, and it was perfect. The people were really friendly, and the food was great. The herring, potatoes and lingonberries were fantastic - several good Swedish beers on tap as well. We had a great seat by the window - highly recommend!

Listen, you can't really afford to be picky on an island where there are only two restaurants. Both restaurants, however, are rated quite well on Yelp. Truth be told, I had actually been leaning toward Dykarbaren for some arbitrary reason I can't remember until they told me that they would be closed on the Swedish National Day (6 June) and recommended Sandhamns Värdshus when I tried to make a reservation through email. I highly recommend making a reservation for lunch. You're probably taking the 9:30 a.m. boat that leaves from Strändvagen in Stockholm that arrives at Sandhamn at 11:40 a.m. -- just in time for the lunch rush, so don't get stuck queueing behind everyone who was on your boat at this restaurant. We ate in their upstairs dining hall, which felt like a cozy bed & breakfast. Munching on the complimentary bread (god, what I would done to bring a carry-on full of Swedish bread back home...), I ordered the fried herring with mashed potatoes, lingonberries, and melted butter for 139 SEK or approximately $17 USD. I had already eaten the exact same dish in Stockholm (I'm assuming that this is a quintessential Swedish meal) and this tasted just as good, although be forewarned that there are quite a number of bones still left in the herring. You can't go wrong with choosing Sandhamn as your Stockholm archipelago destination, so make it a perfect island getaway by eating at Sandhamns Värdshus for lunch. You'll need the energy to thoroughly explore everything Sandhamn has to offer before sundown.

Amazing food and charming old building, five stars from me. Bf and I ordered the porkbelly dish and the fried plaice dish. Both were amazing, and the plaice was a whole fish! Lightly seasoned and veggies were tasty. The porkbelly though was one of the best I've had! And that means a lot since I live in LA and have had a lot there. The staff was very helpful as well with our questions from the food to the history of the building, will definitely dine here again if we get the chance :)

The Swedish lager was excellent. The fennel fish stew was incredible. I had a fish casserole that was great. Wasn't sure to make if it at first, but it was another excellent dish. The menu was written above the bar. Not a lot of items to choose from but between the stew and the other fish dish, it was an excellent choice. Walking distance from hotel as well. Atmosphere was warm, candle lit, not fussy and a nice crowd of ppl. You have to order at the bar & they deliver to your table.

This place is nice, although the menu isn't too extensive. There's indoor as well as outdoor seating, and it's nice to have the options. You order at the counter, then your food gets delivered to you. I got salmon wrapped in plaice with vegetables and boiled potatoes, and it was alright. The salmon was super salty, although the plaice was good. The vegetables were drenched in oil, and the potatoes were fine (you can't really mess up boiled potatoes...). There was also a big lump of mayonnaise sauce, which tasted fine except they served way too much of it. I wish the portions were larger for the price we paid for it. It's one of the few restaurants to eat at on Sandhamn, but I would suggest waiting to get back to Stockholm if that's where you're coming from to eat a meal.

POSH SANDHAMN. Vibe is authentic nautical, no prople watching, because the food is so fine. We pulled into the harbir, parked our boat and had great food. 4-star restaurant combines dockside physical site, high value and good food. Add good bemer, wines Abd wgat's not to like.

This review is specifically for the pub portion of Sandhamns Värdshus: We took a boat out to Sandhamn today and the Rick Steves guide mentioned to go here for lunch for their specials. A nice Swedish pub with not too much flare. Specials included fried herring with mashed potatoes, cod with curry sauce, and pork with sliced potatoes. We shared the first two; both dishes were very well done (lots of food for only 200kr total.) The mashed potatoes were the best I've actually ever had, herring was a bit boney but that was too be expected I guess, and the curry sauce was a little heavy on the mayo, but it worked out with the dish. We would have stayed longer but we had a lot of touristy things to do and not too much time to do it. Probably won't be back to Sandhamn ever, but if I am, I'll end back up here too.

Enjoyed a wonderful outdoor lunch in the sun (and under blankets). The smoked salmon was super fresh with a great side of potato salad. Good rose selection. Friendly service.
