Frommer's Review
"The Hip Pocket" (its English name) is, at least for now, a secret address that mainly local foodies know about and want to keep to themselves. It actually shares the same kitchen with its glamorous neighbor, Operakällaren, which means that you get the same food but at only a fraction of the price. When they're in season, we like to come here for Swedish specialties from the far north, such as reindeer and elk. On our recent rounds, we felt like we'd come back home again as we dug into the French oysters with a vinaigrette sauce and black bread. That was followed with a plate of assorted North Sea herring combined with herring from the Baltic. It was a good choice, though we looked longingly at the grilled roast rib of beef with béarnaise sauce being served at the next table. We went for the moist and delectable French chocolate cake with freshly whipped cream for dessert, and no longer felt left out.

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.
