Eating "Christmas table" is a tradition in Sweden that goes way back.
To simplify it, it's an upgraded "smorgasboard".
You normally eat this on Christmas Eve at home with your family in Sweden.
But a few restaurants also serve this traditionally during the entire december.
It's perfect for companies who wants to take out their employees for a treat at the end of the year.
We are a few friends who have made this into a tradition aswell.
Last year was not so nice with a pretty lame buffé..
This year we booked at Fjäderholmarnas restaurant. Located on an island in the beginning of the arcipelago outside Stockholm.
Arriving with a boat of course and we started out with a cup of hot"Glögg". Redwine, spices and sugar, basically...
Gathering around the fireplace before dinner...
I didn't take so many picures of the food because it wasn't the best light to make the food justice.
But the buffé is designed by Gert Klötzke. He was the manager for the
Swedish culinary team for about 10 years or more...He's the guy in this picture.
I must say the food was amazing! It was the best christmas table I've ever had!
Everything is small bites and not loaded up in piles on big plates.
Here everything feels very fresh and light. Traditionally you makes 7 rounds to the table.
You start with the pickled herring and move on to salmon dishes and fish terrines, meat cold cuts, hot plates and so on up until the desserts and christmas candy.
Yes you do get full as a stuffed turkey but that's we have the aquavit to digest :-)
I highly recommend this place! Great service and fantastic food!
That's why you go out to eat right?
