Tue Jul 25 17:40:45 -0700 2006 1764434 10990 Gerard 3 1766251 Bear in mind that the cuisine is principally French. Also more sophisticated than the "bistro" moniker. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/23691 Tue Jul 25 17:47:23 -0700 2006 1766221 10039 Melanie Wong 1 1764495 My Swedish friends go to Nordic House (the link given by Scott M above includes the address) on Telegraph just about next door to Neldam's bakery for stuff like cloudberry jam and various kinds of fish pastes in tubes. I haven't been in a while, but there was, last time I checked, also some sort of deli there. Definitely worth checking out.
