Last week I was invited to the premiere of a new restaurant on Södermalm called
Tradition. This is their second restaurant with the original Tradition l
ocated in the Norrmalm district. This "sister restaurant"
is located right next to the SoFo district of Södermalm, an easy 15 minute walk from the
Rival Hotel.

Swedish design... |
Their motto is "
Svensk husmanskost. Punkt slut." which basically translates to "Swedish traditional cuisine. Period.". Well, sort of. I actually have a hard time translating
husmanskost. It is one of those words that I think is only found in Swedish... like
lagom and
fika. There are several ways I use to describe this concept to visitors... rustic cuisine, meals your grandmother would make, workers' fare, traditional cuisine, historic cuisine, etc; Sometimes I compare it to types of dishes from the visitor's home country to give them a point of reference. For example Fish & Chips to someone from the UK, Coq au Vin to someone from France and Pot Roast to someone from the States. At any rate... it is good food! And a great way to "taste" Swedish history and tradition.

Cod with shrimp, horseradish and egg sauce. |
Restaurant Tradition is a good place to try husmanskost and they try to make it a complete Swedish experience with the Swedish interior design as well as Swedish music playing in the restaurant. As it was the premiere when I was there, we were served small tastes of different courses on the menu... like cod with shrimp, horseradish & egg sauce and black pudding with glazed apples and lingon berries.
Click here for menu. All very good! As I mentioned earlier, Tradition is located near the
SoFo district which is a nice place to wander in the evening with bars, pubs and restaurants. Good thing to know: all of the dishes on the menu are lactose free and they can make both vegetarian and gluten free dishes as well.
