Café Victoria is located in Uppsala's Botanical Garden (Botaniska Trädgården). It's tucked away in the back, and you can see the edge of the garden. Seating consists of a patio of scrunched together tables with umbrellas and heaters, and tables scattered under the trees. The former are probably your only option on rainy or cold days, and the latter are wonderful on sunny days. We came for fika one day and lunch the next. Coffee is 15kr. It wasn't my favorite. Aside from coffee, they have a number of other espresso drinks. We tried the "Kall Latte," which is espresso, milk, ice cream, and whipped cream on top. More like a coffee-y milkshake, and a great treat. They also sell beer and cider. The pastries were tasty and fresh. I had the småbulle (which was quite large), and the linnebulle (which was huge!) We visited for lunch on the last day they were open, so the menu might have been shorter than usual. As is typical in Sweden, their lunch menu was short on vegetarian options. I think there was a cheese sandwich and cheese pie. I went pescetarian with the smoked salmon potato salad. It was a great mix of greens, sauces, potatoes and salads.

The food is very good and they have a good selection of meals. They also sell home made bread and if you are still hungry after lunch you can have a nice dessert, because they also have a large variety of pastry. I absolutely love this place in summer and it is definitely worth a visit!

I am staying in the area and our B&B host suggested this place. I was a little concerned when we…read morearrived because it did have the touristy feel and we only speak English. Though the menu was only in Swedish, our waiter read through the short menu and helped us order to our taste. The food was excellent! Our table shared a veal dish which came with fries and peas, a beef filet and a cod dish. They were all delicious. We also had dessert which all came with local berries which were quite fresh considering it was winter. The only downside was the price, but most restaurants we have been to have been about $50 US per person on this was on par.

Dinner was a little expensive, but my Cornish hen and strawberry compote were great. The beds could have been a little more soft for me. No mini fridge in room.

Spent a weekend at Krusenbergs Herrgård with a good opportunity to experience not only the food and…read morewine, but also the surroundings, accommodations, facilities, and the wonderful scenery. In many ways it is a standard "conference" feel to the place when one is there for such an occasion as I was, but there's definitely more to this place than initially meets the eye. The coffee breaks are on the lavish side with no stops of selected assortments. The lunches were always a two-course meal, entree and main. The entrees were soup of the day with the best soup definitely won by the mushroom dito together with sour-dough bread and butter-sauted chanterelles. For one lunch main they served a minced moose-beef served with thyme-roasted baby veggies which was really delicious. The other main lunch was however a big disappointment; a white meat fish served on the bone but really dry with plain boiled potatoes, green peas and white wine sauce lacking in both flavour and depth. Not tasty by any means. The big conference dinner left me slightly biased. It had highs paired with lows. The entree was a delight for all senses; foie gras with two different cuts of charcuteries and other small assortments, paired with a wonderful white wine from Austria. This was followed by that evenings bit let-down, a fillet of cod that again was dry with no exciting additions. Mashed potatoes and a couple of vegetables can only go so far. To me there was no innovation on the plate, and flavours much too bland for my taste. The dessert was a step in the right direction, cloudberry soufflé with a lemon cream, crispy cranberry crumble and small chocolate assortments. The dessert wine unfortunately has slipped my mind, but it was a pleasant experience to a well thought-out dessert. However, what made the absolute largest and lasting impression on me was neither the place itself, the food or the wine. It was actually a small glass with only 2 cl of pure liquid gold. Well, ok, not gold, but this whiskey surely could have been. Expensive yes, but worth every penny. It was a Carsebridge 30 YO, a lowland whiskey with so much flavour and depth that I needed several minutes in between sips for all my senses to recover. If I sipped on it faster than that, I only got the taste of strong spirits. It was extraordinary and sublime, and hands down the best memory of the weekend. And just this one thing made the entire experience worth it, even though the food dissapointed me slightly.
