Dining at Sjätte tunnan (The Sixth Barrel)


Ajouter une image




















After the film 'Bi, don't be afraid', we went on strolling around Stockholm but at 8 pm we had decided to meet a couple of friends at the medieval restaurant 'Sjätte tunnan' in The Old Town of Stockholm.
Unfortunately they had misunderstood us wherefore we found ourselves two at a table for four.
Evidently this did not cause the restaurant any problems wherefore we started eating in a totally packed restaurant.

At earlier visits we often heard the vielle- or lira player Johannes Hellman or his teacher perform but this evening it was jesters entertaining us, spitting fire, singing different traditional, medieval songs, playing instruments and more.
This was very nice even though a group of fairly young Swedes at the table next to us, were somewhat to loud, after having drunk to much.
The proprietor however told them to be more quiet.
Swedes can't have fun without disturbing others but this is a phenomena caused by the fact that they can't handle alcohol.
Besides these representatives for the populace it was - as always when we've visited this restaurant - a very nice evening.
Below a few of the plates they served during this 'Christmas table' as one call it in Sweden.































This is a photo taken on my (Gunnar's) first plate and I took two.
Aurore didn't eat as much as I but her plate was full, that I can assure!
