Our dinner at Den Gyldene Freden was terrific.  Though we were tempted by the set menu, we decided to make our own choices a la carte and cliche or no, my meatballs were superb and were served with delicious lingonberries (of course). Mark opted for something a little less obvious: Herring three ways followed by breaded pigstrotter and ham hock served with lentils.  I'd substituted a champagne cocktail for a starter... ;-)

We loved both our desserts.  He chose rhubarb jelly with various rhubarby accompaniments; I chose a similar raspberry assortment.  Yummy - and beautifully presented.

A good job we had a bit of a walk back to the hotel to work off some of that full tummy feeling!

Off to Karlstad tomorrow.
