  • The restaurant WS at Villa Foresta on Lidingö offers a refined dining experience with a view.
  • The menu is described as short and "krüusidullfria" (uncomplicated), though some items were unavailable.
  • The reviewer notes a successful starter of vendace roe with potato cake and a main of char fillet.

The restaurant WS, located at the historic Villa Foresta on Lidingö, offers a sophisticated dining experience complemented by scenic views of the water. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a cheerful "Tjenamoss!" from the waitstaff, a touch intended to balance the otherwise well-appointed and proper atmosphere of the dining room.

Villa Foresta itself has undergone a significant renovation and reopened in 2024, now encompassing a hotel, spa, conference facilities, and bars, in addition to the restaurant. The dining room, named after founder Wilhelmina Skogh, features a plush and comfortable interior design. The menu is intentionally concise, aiming for simplicity, although the reviewer noted that some dishes were not available during their visit.

Despite minor menu availability issues, the service was prompt in offering alternatives, such as a Skagen-filled croissant. The reviewer found the vendace roe starter, served with a potato cake flavored with Västerbotten cheese, to be a standout dish. The main course of char fillet was also mentioned, indicating a focus on quality ingredients and preparation.

Tjenamoss!
