Tony Jazz Reviews Michelin Star Restaurant Studio Frantzen @ Harrods Store London Dec 2024
@harrods for myself for a change. A little retail. Therapy and then lunch @Studio Frantzen 
Christine Glick, thank you Chrissy for your THANK YOU 
gift I had an Amazing day experience.Studio Frantzén at Harrods, headed by the renowned Swedish chef Björn Frantzén, offers a unique fusion of Nordic gastronomy with Asian influences, all set on the top floor of Harrods.
People have praised the restaurant for its exquisite and innovative dishes. Some highlights from reviews include:
Warm Laminated Milk Bread with blond miso butter and borage honey, offering a delightful balance of sweet and salty flavors.
Salmon, cooked over an open fire, praised for its melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
Deep-fried Hasselback Potato with cream cheese and charred broccolini, which was described as a harmonious blend of flavors.
The restaurant's ambiance features understated elegance with a contemporary interpretation of Scandinavian design, complemented by splendid views of the London skyline
However, it has received mixed feedback regarding its value for money and dining experience. While some diners find it to be a luxurious treat, akin to experiencing “how the other half live”, others feel that the restaurant's atmosphere and presence in Harrods don't fully integrate into a cohesive dining destination
Intrigued? Would you consider a Nordic-Asian gastronomic adventure in the heart of Harrods?
Sure! Studio Frantzén's menu at Harrods showcases an exciting blend of Nordic and Asian influences. Some notable dishes include:
Laminated Milk Bread: A pastry-like bread served with blond miso butter and borage honey. This dish is praised for its perfectly laminated layers and delightful flavor.
Tartar of Tuna and Red Deer: A visually stunning dish featuring Kalix vendace roe, wasabi cream, fermented plum, and warm ginger butter. It’s both a feast for the eyes and the palate, expertly pairing the flavors of the sea and the land.
Deep-fried Hasselback Potato: This side dish elevates the humble potato with a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, complemented by browned butter and indulgent cream cheese.
Grilled Salmon: Cooked over an open fire, this item is known for its tenderness and exquisite taste.
Sweden vs Japan: A signature dish consisting of two expertly cooked pieces of meat: Japanese Wagyu and Swedish Oxtail. Both pieces offer different textures and are hailed for their rich flavors
Reviewers have also highlighted the unique ambiance of the restaurant, with its Scandinavian lodge-inspired design. However, some have commented that Studio Frantzén falls short as a cohesive dining experience within the busy Harrods environment
I ordered the Scallops for my starter :The scallop dish at Studio Frantzén is a standout item on the menu, showcasing the expertise and creativity of Chef Björn Frantzén. The dish features perfectly seared scallops paired with unique ingredients that bring out the natural sweetness of the scallops, while introducing Nordic and Asian flavors.
One reviewer mentioned that the scallops are “succulent and cooked to perfection”, pairing beautifully with fermented plum and a hint of wasabi cream. The combination of textures and flavors makes this dish a delight for the senses.
