Got to check out Svea with my friend and let me say it was great, so let me get into it!
The food was amazing every bite made me want to order another dish! And the freshness of the food was amazing. I have never had Swedish food and I honestly loved it very much. The service was great our waiter walked us through the menu and even gave us advice on what to order. He even talked to us about the history of Svea and Swedish people. And he made sure we were okay and if we needed anything. The atmosphere or ambiance like I call it, was great the decor and all the pictures and things on the wall made me feel about the culture! Overall, I will say give Svea a try if you want to try Swedish food and tastes amazing!
For brunch this is the place to go. The meats provided in the breakfast plates are amazing. They have a unique mustard that is really good on the sausages. Swedish pancakes are to die for. Best enjoy with Lingonberry jam. Service was super good. Just note weekends it does get crowded so plan your visit accordingly.
Super tasty! We dined at the counter because it was packed so we got to sit instantly. I had the falukorv sausage with eggs and potatoes. Delicious! The highlight is the crepe filled with lingonberry cream. So good!
Awesome little place. Great food and great service!
As someone who has no Swedish things to go to besides Ikea in Ohio, this is Amazing. Delicious too!
Stopped in here on my way out of town and truly enjoyed it! We were greeted and sat quickly. Our server checked in on us regularly and the food came out fast. I had a veggie omelet and a coffee. The potatoes that came with the omelet were crispy and hot! The prices were fair and the location is in a quaint strip of shopping and food. I'd return.
My first time having Swedish food me and my family went in for breakfast, and everyone sampled a different plate just to see how the food was going to be and of course I had to try Swedish meatballs
That was some of the best food and breakfast that we’ve all had the service was great. The environment was clean and welcoming and I look forward to returning next year when we’re back in town.
Really good food and fun little visit. Unique vibe and authenticity in the menu with Swedish dishes and flavors.
My wife and I were hungry for brunch this past Sunday after coming to town to see the Toys for Tots Motorcycle Parade. We decided on this Swedish restaurant and had the Viking Breakfast, which consists of Falukorv sausage, eggs, potatoes, and Swedish pancakes (similar to a crepe). The service was great. The only downside was the table was very small and my wife dropped her toast, but the server brought her out fresh toast, so no harm done!
Solid traditional Swedish-American Diner. You are not from Chicago if you haven't had pancakes and sausage at Svea in Andersonville.
