For the quintessential Swedish smorgasbord visit the historic Grand Hotel’s Veranda Restaurant. You’re even given a list of seven tips on how to best enjoy the feast!
1. Think of the Swedish smorgasbord as a four-to six-course meal. 2. Do not overload your plate. Make several trips to the buffet instead and take a fresh plate each time. 3. Begin with the herring dishes traditionally accompanied with hot potatoes. Then try a slice of sharp Swedish cheese, crisp bread and a shot of Aquavit chased with cold Scandinavian beer. 4. Next, sample the fish dishes, and try the Swedish specialty gravlax – marinated salmon – and don’t forget the mustard sauce with dill. Try the smoked eel and salmon with a squeeze of lemon. 5. Then taste a variety of salads, egg dishes and cold cuts of meat and poultry. 6. Now take your pick of the hot dishes – and remember to take lingonberries with your homemade meatballs. 7. And finally, enjoy one of The Veranda’s famous desserts – the fruit salad is always delicious. Why not complete the smorgasbord by having a strong cup of coffee together with chilled traditional Swedish digestive “punsch”? Skal! (Cheers!)
