If one exists, I've never heard of it, despite knowing several Swedes. The number of Scandiavians in Montreal is tiny and growing tinier. Det är synd, as they say.

Haha, when I saw the title of the thread I wanted to reply, IKEA! Alas, it isn't exactly secret.

I have been there, it is where the Old William Tell was. What can I tell you
Italian + Swiss = Swedish?????

The original poster is asking for a Swedish restaurant. I think folks are just wondering how the Italian swiss fondue place fits into that request. ;-)

sounds like a misunderstanding between Switzerland and Sweden.

Well, they're pretty peaceful countries. They'll probably work it out. ;-)

Thank you for all your replies so far (and the very amusing tangent!!) I was optimistic but it looks like I was be preparing a Swedish feast at home!
Perhaps I will hijack my own thread and ask whether anyone knows if the SAQs stocks akvavit (aqua vitae) at all?

The SAQ doesn't currently stock aquavit/akvavit, though they have in the past. The LCBO recently received a shipment of Aalborg Jubilaeums Akvavit from Denmark.

Gotta snatch it up fast though ... I got a bottle from the Rideau LCBO in Ottawa before it hit the shelves about a month ago. All Scandinavians buy it en masse for the holidays ...
If failing to find akvavit, I have successfully made a good alternative by toasting fennel and caraway seeds to infuse vodka.
Curious what you will be making at home unlaced.Janssons frestelse, gravad lax, skagen röra etc?

Oh, great. Here I sit chained to a desk and you're tempting me with Jansson's temptation...
