Svea Restaurant is a cozy Swedish breakfast spot in Andersonville, known for friendly service and delicious food. The menu offers fresh, reasonably portioned dishes, including Swedish pancakes with lingonberry and the popular Swedish Tease with eggs and pancakes. Sides like limpa toast, Swedish pancakes, and meatballs are recommended. The restaurant features home-style cooking with highlights such as falukorv/swedish sausage, fluffy omelettes, and tasty crepes. It’s a charming place perfect for casual breakfast or brunch with friends and family. The space is small and can be tight, especially for larger groups, but bar seating is available for solo diners. The staff is very nice and helpful. There is a 3% upcharge for credit card payments, but cash and debit are accepted. Recent reviews mention great catering service, with excellent pork & veal meatballs, mashed potatoes, and lingonberry jam. Some customers found the “sharing fee” of $5 for splitting big breakfasts unusual, and noted that automatic gratuity may be added for larger parties, which can seem strange. Overall, the food is tasty, and the atmosphere charming and rustic.
