Tastebud : Bistro Björkvik

28 August 2021

On a warm summer evening, we visited a bistro in Björkvik for dinner. This place is located right in front of the waters. Very lovely view and one can go for a walk after the meal to burn off the meal. 

Plum plucking

15 August 2021

For the first time in my life, I saw a plum tree! And to make it better, I plucked plums from the tree because the kind neighbour invited us to do so as there are so many plums on the tree. The neighbour informed us that the plum tree bears fruit once in two years. So, there were not any plums last year. The plums are smaller than the ones in the grocery store but equally yummy. 

Tastebud : Värmdö Veranda

30 July 2021

Outdoor lunch at Värmdö Veranda. This is a new restaurant that opened in spring and it serves Danish bread - smörrebröd. This is a common Danish bread that is made of rye flour. One can sit outdoors on the veranda to have their meal but it rained a few hours before and the furniture was wet as they are made of wood. 

I found it strange that the menu is in Danish and there are no translations. In restaurants that serve Asian food, there are Swedish translations on the food. Maybe it is easy to figure out Danish when one is an ethnic Swede.

There is a small shop inside the restaurant. They sell their own brewed beer, cider, and rapeseed oil.

I had salmon served on the bread and my boyfriend chose the 2 fried fish served on the bread. In my opinion, it is nothing out of the extraordinary and this food can be made at home too. :)

My sandwich costs SEK99 and my boyfriend's sandwich costs SEK169. I took a glass of water because it is free.
