Tre Kronor

What a quaint spot. On a work trip to Chicago, I was looking for a breakfast spot a little off the beaten path. This place is clearly popular & known, but I like that it's not I the middle of more heavily transited neighborhoods. I was lucky that I came on a day their amazing cardamom knots were baked (I overheard a server say they are not available every day) & got to taste one, so delicious! I asked for the lingonberry jam & happy I did so because it brought a bit of sweetness to it that I appreciated. I liked it so much I ordered one to go to bring to NYC with me. I also had the salmon, cheese & dill omlette, also delicious. I loved the atmosphere, which is cozy & non-pretentious. The service was attentive and hospitable. I very much enjoyed this spot & highly recommend it. Lots of options on menu to suit multiple tastes. Also, I would recommend taking a stroll to the Swedish shop across the street, a fun pit stop after your decadent & scrumptious breakfast.

This Scandinavian eatery is a gem! We were passing through Chicago and saw this on a few blog reviews. It did not disappoint. We enjoyed dining outdoors! The raspberry custard pastry with coarse ground cardamom in it was delightful! Not super sweet and very fluffy. Raspberries were hand picked by the owner. The salmon (wild caught) and dill quiche was delicious and light, served as a large portion - I couldn't even finish! The shrimp omelette was delicious, wonderful and amazing (according to my husband). Our server was very easy to converse with and the owner, Patti came to chat with us. She sources her ingredients locally, where possible. They import other meats from Denmark. They've been in business for 31 years. We are definitely going to go back next time we're in Chicago!

Lovely quaint little restaurant with great food & wonderful atmosphere. We sat inside, but next time may try outside. Our daughter found this restaurant and thought we'd give it a try. Between us 3 we had the Pannekaker pancake (crepe), Quiche of the day (broccoli cheddar) and the Reubenssen sandwich. Also had the Dutch Onion Soup, which was oh so awesome. Everything was so delicious. Prices were very affordable. Will definitely be back even we are in town again and would recommend to all.

Food: Incredible! The dill & salmon quiche was decadent; absolutely delicious. Others in our group loved their food as well! Drink: The coffee was amazing; smooth as silk! Service: Very slow; we were there for nearly 3 hours, drinks infrequently refilled, etc. HOWEVER, I totally get it. The servers were working VERY HARD, running around like crazy, and I was happy to compensate our server with a 20+% tip! I'm sharing this because you shouldn't expect to be in and out in a jiffy! If you are, order take out!
