Frommer's Review
This charming bistro -- the only one in town to offer a choice of cool Nordic and sunny southern cuisines -- lies in residential northerly Chamartín. Decorated in typically inviting Mediterranean style, with blue walls and murals of rural landscapes -- even a library filled with books -- and divided into four intimate salons, it's run by the family of Jorge García, whose close relatives in Norway are the inspiration for the Scandinavian recipes. The exquisitely prepared dishes, based on the finest ingredients, cover everything from Norwegian herring in marinades to Levante style arroz abanda, a variation on traditional paella using different varieties of seafood. One eclectic standout is the roast ribs of tender baby lamb, while for vegetarians there's a delicious parrillada de verduras, or grilled fresh vegetables. For dessert, opt for the Norwegian cookies with wild berries or freshly made crepes with apple sauce.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
