With the Winter season comes the traditional Swedish Julbord or "Christmas Table". This buffet meal is offered at various hotels and restaurants around Sweden from late November to Christmas.
Classic Julbord dishes include Swedish meats and cheeses, pickled herring, different salads and desserts. Drinks are usually extra.
A Julbord can be popular, so it's a good idea to book ahead if you want to be guaranteed a place.
Kids usually cost less than adults, which makes sense because they don't eat as much đ
We treated ourselves to a Julbord at Stockholm's beautiful Grand Hotel located right across from the Royal Palace in the city center. It was an enjoyable Julbord experience for the whole family.
The Julbord is served in the Verandan restaurant and you have a beautiful view of the water and Swedish Royal Palace.
The Grand Hotel Julbord didn't disappoint! For starters, there was quite a nice variety of cold fish and meats like smoked salmon and roast beef. A few salad items were included as well.
For the hot dishes, there were a few meat dishes and if course, traditional Janssons Frestelse or "Janssons Temptation", a delicious potato dish.
The dessert table offered cakes, mousse, donuts or "kleiners" and cookies. There was a lot to choose from and it was all delicious!
Drinks aren't included but you can order sparkling water, wine or festive drinks like glÔgg (mulled wine) and julmust.
Kids really enjoyed the hot dishes, especially the ham and baked pork and potatoes. They also liked the bread and a few of the veggie dishes :)
The Grand Hotel lobby was beautiful and festive with large Christmas tree. Perfect for photos! There is also a sitting area just before you enter the restaurant. It's nice for kids or grandparents to sit and relax there if they're done eating or need a break from the table.
We had a really lovely dining experience at the Grand Hotel! If you're in Stockholm or visiting for the Christmas holidays and looking to treat yourself to a wonderful Julbord experience, why not try the Grand Hotel Stockholm!
Don't forget your snacks!
