Really? In my town there's a Swedish restaurant and I love their food. Is it commonly known Swedish is bad?

I’ve lived in many places, some very large cities, and I’ve never seen a Swedish restaurant, though I will say I haven’t been intently looking for one.

There used to be a Swedish bakery/café in Vancouver, but I don’t think they’re around anymore.

Swedish deserts are amazing. Especially the cakes.

I last went there over fifteen years ago, so for all I know, the owners may have retired by now. But of course, the restaurant business is brutal everywhere and insane in Vancouver.

Do the IKEAs near you not have food courts?

San Francisco used to have a Swedish restaurant called Abbasolutely. They had those old-timey jukeboxes at each table that only had Abba songs and every entree came with a shot of Aquavit unless you specifically asked for a dry entree.

That place ruled! I don’t think they stayed in business very long.

Have you been to Sweden?

I found quite a few Swedish restaurants there.

If you see “cloudberry” anything, you know you’re in the right place 😆

It's pretty rare, seen one in Buenos Aires but that is about it, but I have seen places specialising in meatballs.

During the world cup they had the Muppets perform. This was in celebration that all Muppets are healthy because of the famed and legendary Swedish Chef. Bork!

You don’t really find British restaurants either.
