we went there on a sunday midmorning. we waited 30 mins to be seated, it was really busy. the food took quite long, not sure if they are just very busy. i had their french toast and my husband had hamburger for lunch. both were good. I should have ordered lunch. but i will come back to try their lunch and dinner menu.
- Cons: expect to wait for 30 mins on a weekend.
Poor Service; Food not up to par

I was very disappointed in my most recent trip here. On an early Monday night there were two servers and only a few tables but service was not good. Salad came before being finished with appetizer. Had to ask for more water. Entree came out just as finishing salad. Didn't ask about food until ready to take plates away.
Also, the food that night was only mediocre. Walnut crusted trout was not crusty but mushy. Soupy sauce that covered fish made it mushy. Bread pudding for dessert had no flavor. Maybe it was a different cook than usual but I'll not go back for some time. Too pricey for poor service and only fair food.
- Cons: Service, quality of food for price
Charming and a good value by Michael N. at InsiderPages

Tre Kronor has some of the flakiest and most delicious pastries I have ever had. I didn't know much about Swedish cuisine before we started coming here but I like trying new things and they are always really encouraging and informative. I think last time I went I had a bread called limpa (not sure on spelling) that was very good and an very tasty omelette. The restaurant is a converted house so it has quite a bit of old world charm.

This place is just great! It's a quaint little restaurant on the corner with great ambiance! Everything we ordered was prepared with care and was a pleasant change from the usual breakfast places. The Sweedish spin on breakfast made it especially interesting. The fresh squeezed OJ, cinnamon roll and quiche were all excellent. The fruit was also a pleasant surprise. There was a good assortment, including strawberries, melon, kiwi, pineapple, etc. Additionally, everything was also reasonable in price ($2.25 for a small OJ, $8 for a quiche, $2 for cinnamon roll) and portion sizes are just right! We'll definitely be returning!
- Pros: Great food and service
- Cons: Only street parking
Welcoming North Park eatery packs in a diverse crowd for its Scandinavian comfort food.

The Scene
Worn-in hardwood floors show signs of the heavy business that this homey, bi-level restaurant has seen through the years, a weekend destination for North Park families and couples. Colorful gnomes dance playfully in a hilly scene painted on the right wall, a cheerful mural in a simple, Swedish-flavored dining room of wooden tables situated closely together. Friendly servers handle constant foot traffic with ease while managing not to rush diners out too soon.
The Food
Meals get a Scandinavian treatment here, fulfilling sweet and savory cravings. Bananas and strawberries with cream cover every inch of a thick Belgian waffle, cut in four slices for easy sharing. Minced, perfectly salted corned beef is paired with eggs, fried potatoes and sauteed onions. Whipped cream cheese and fresh dill peek out from the fold of the Oslo Omelette, enhancing a filling of flaky, smoked salmon. A dinner standout includes Swedish meatballs with lingonberries.

While most tourists flock to the better-known Ann Sathers Swedish restaurant a mile west on Clark Street, this West Andersonville gem is worth seeking out. Prices are reasonable and food is superb. Creative dishes and nice traditional Swedish decor in this rennovated home with two stories for dining. Swedish favorites like pancakes with lingonberries, potato and veal sausages are complimented by innovative specials.
PROS: Delicious food, great Atmosphere
CONS: Street parking limited

This little swedish restaurant in the northwest side is fabulous! the food is very good, it's not too expensive and the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable.
if you go there try the eggs benedicts, one of my favorites ! but if you go on sundays be prepared to wait : it gets really crowded.

I live a short, walking distance away from Tre Kronor and I used to eat brunch there every weekend until my protruding tummy begged for me to cut back. It is heavenly, and breakfast/brunch is splendid with choices like orange French toast, Swedish pancakes with lingonberries, and fluffy stacks of waffles topped with mounds of fresh fruit. The rosy-cheeked waitstaff are consistently friendly and helpful. And even though the place is always packed with children, they never seem to cry or complain about the food! (I think it's because it feels so much like home.)
- Pros: Second Floor, Cozy, yummy food
