By far one of the best corn beef hash I have had... the veal sausages were also delicious. The quality of the food is above my expectations and that was the reason why I chose to try this place today. But what made my experience much more delightful was Joelle from new Orleans... she was and IS so kind, caring, and just made my experience great. I have a toddler that is rambunctious at times joelle was so patient with him and kind. I haven't had service like this in a while, and I am waitress so I am very grateful for her loving hospitality. THANK YOU SO MUCH JOELLE!!! Happy fat Tuesday and thanks for gifting the beads to my son! Great service and great food !!!!

Good cup of coffee. Fantastic pastries. And the belgian waffles with fresh whipped cream and fruit, and the weekend special eggs benedict are absolutely amazing. Not to mention the local sausages… this place is the best.

Not as good as it used to be. Expensive, unseasoned food. Best thing on the menu was the coffee and the waffle.

Tre Kronor is the kind of neighborhood Swedish restaurant that feels like stepping into a sunlit Stockholm kitchen run by your coolest aunt who just happens to be a genius with herring and cardamom. From the moment you walk through the door of this unassuming North Park corner spot, the air is thick with the scent of warm dill, buttery potatoes, and freshly baked limpa bread that should frankly be illegal. The Swedish meatballs are legendary (tender, nutmeg-kissed orbs swimming in a cream sauce so velvety you’ll want to write poetry about it), but the real dark horse is the pytt i panna: golden cubes of potato, beef, and onion topped with a perfectly fried egg and a side of pickled beets that pop like edible jewels. Every plate arrives with the kind of generous, heartfelt portions that make you feel genuinely taken care of, and the lingering taste of lingonberries will haunt you in the best possible way.
What transforms Tre Kronor from great to unforgettable is the soul behind the food. This is a family-run sanctuary where the same servers have been greeting regulars by name for decades, where the coffee comes with free refills in heavy ceramic mugs, and where weekend brunch means a line out the door for cloud-like Swedish pancakes served with lingonberry jam and a side of pure joy. The vibe is effortlessly cozy (think blonde wood, blue-and-yellow accents, zero pretension), yet every detail is flawless: the herring platter alone is a masterclass in balance, from silky pickled to mustard-dill to curried. In a city full of trendy openings that flame out in six months, Tre Kronor has been quietly perfecting Scandinavian comfort food since 1990, and it deserves a national holiday. If you leave here without loosening your belt and planning your next visit, you’ve done something terribly wrong.
So glad that you his local institution is still around and arriving up the same delicious goodness all these years. As always it was tough choice on which item to go with, but throw in the daily specials and it was almost too much. Thankfully the wife likes to share so that takes care of all least two options.
