Visit These Unique Restaurants You Can Only Find in California

"Inspired by the flavors of Stockholm, chef and co-owner Roberth Sundell set out to serve simple Swedish street food and classic Nordic comfort in a place that feels both local and destination-worthy. Swedish meatballs are a true taste of Stockholm and a guest favorite, and the team imports traditional Swedish sweets as a nod to lördagsgodis, the beloved Saturday candy ritual. Described as “a blend of Swedish roots and California spirit,” the kitchen cooks with California’s seasonal ingredients, working closely with local farmers whose fresh deliveries inspire weekly specials, and even adds Californian touches to classics, like shrimp skagen with avocado." - Daniel He

"Halfway across the globe, the husband-and-wife team of Roberth and Andrea Sundell have brought the flavors of their native Stockholm to their adopted hometown, Petaluma. This cheery, minimal spot plays all the hits: pickled herring, hearty meatballs and house-made sodas (try the subtly sweet sea buckthorn). Heavy Mid-Eastern and light California touches still manage to creep in, as seen in the skagen—a classic dill-shrimp salad that adds avocado to the mix, or farm-fresh berries atop giant pancakes. For the hardcore herring haters, the menu also flaunts tasty nods to Sweden’s Middle Eastern community by way of falafel, tabbouleh and a terrific beef-lamb pita wrap.Jars of black licorice and bulks of other Swedish candies are available for daily binging." - Michelin Inspector

Restaurants Worth the Drive from San Francisco | Eater SF

"Approximate Drive Time: 1 hour Why it’s worth it: Quicker than a trip to Sweden, but with all the same amazing candy available by the pound. The focus of this fast-casual spot (from the team behind PLÄJ in SF) is the modern, Middle-Eastern food that’s all over the streets of Stockholm: kebabs, falafel, and yes, Swedish meatballs, which are actually Turkish in origin. The punnily named Stockhome does indeed stock lots of goods, including chic Nordic home items, to take with you, further justifying the trip." - Eater Staff
