Strindberg Café

Frommer's Review

Named after one of Sweden's greatest playwrights, a short walk from the Swedish Theater, this is a warm and convivial rendezvous point that's usually packed, especially on weekends. Its street level houses a cafe and a pastry shop, but its heart and soul lies upstairs, where a conservatively modern setting contains a colony of comfortably upholstered chairs and sofas and a big-windowed dining room. Menu items contain an appropriate mixture of comfort food and modern continental. Examples include a savory version of Finnish vorschmack, grilled calf's liver with cream sauce and sage, filet of reindeer with rösti potatoes and goat cheese, and double filets of Baltic herring filled with smoked salmon and boiled new potatoes. Consider baked Alaska with rhubarb for dessert.
