Ellinor said: “We embrace the Swedish concept of ‘Lagom’, which means ‘not too much, not too little..but just right.’

“We like to think that the best meals are the ones that are simple and unpretentious. By letting other cultures seep into our Scandinavian kitchen, we inject our own unique identity into our cuisine. The result is a food experience that is a contrast to what is already out there.”
