The Swedish Food Co.

On a mission to somewhere else one lunchtime I went passed The Swedish Food Co. on Lower Baggot Street. This was an old lunchtime sandwich haunt for me. So on the way back, I went in to get myself a walk down memory lane sandwich.
Apart form the sign out front, lots had changed. The lay out for starters, the counter had been moved and was it looked smaller. There was no long queue. There was only one server.
But the food looked the same, phew! And it looked good value. For 4.65 EUR I got their chicken and crispy bacon sandwich on a white roll. I could even have had the bacon heated if I wanted, but I declined.
The rest of the menu? Well like the name says, its Swedish, so you can get a Swedish meatball sandwich should you so wish. And there are also Swedish pickle on offer. The rest of the fare is standard enough for the lunch sandwich.
I ate it on the way back and it was nice.
If I’m passing again, I will definitely pop back in.

This is the genuine article. A Swedish Food Company with real Swedish staff and really good food.
Tasty sandwiches are the order of the day and it’s hard to pick the fillings that I want most. My bother (in typical male style) usually goes for the meat with meat with meat option, filling his sandwich with salami, Swedish meat ball, ham and any other meat that’s going. Just goes to show, whatever you put in it, it’ll taste good. That’s a good sign if ever there was one.

I wouldn’t be Swedish’s biggest fan.
My colleagues in work love it — but I think it’s quite plain and a little over priced — a Panini could set you back about € 6.50, which is just ridiculous for a soft roll, with a bit of meat and possible cheese. They do have a nice selection of breads, granted, but you can’t even get them toasted! I hate cold wraps — to me they aren’t complete unless they’re a little crispy.
So for me, Swedish get s a thumbs down I’m afraid.

I used to live around these neck of the woods, well I squatted at a friend’s place after my travels, so I got to experience D4 life through the eyes of a pretender for a few months. That said, I took a wander down memory lane today and checked out a few of my old haunts.
The food in the Swedish food Company is IKEA like. It is very simple, and they let you put it together (pick your fillings). They specialise in sandwiches, but the quality and taste is really rich and wholesome. They bake all their own stuff and have a great range of breads.
I had a Swedish cake today, it really hit the spot. Interior is simple and the staff have really blonde hair and perfect skin and talk funny. It’s great!
Good value too.
