Magasinet i Waxholm

After having been on a sailboat for days, this bistro was a welcome oasis of delicious, fresh food. I was very hungry when I arrived, and thought about ordering two items. The server told me not to, as the portions are big and she didn’t exaggerate. The shrimp and avocado salad I ordered was so large, I couldn’t finish it all. The menu description didn’t do it justice, what with the addition of egg, watermelon, pomegranate seeds and other salad regulars.
The restaurant is on a high terrace with a view of the castle, a perfect setting to enjoy a second glass of wine from their wine list.
One thing to note is that you have to go to the bar to order, but this was not a problem and went smoothly and fast.
Highly recommended!

Can I just start by saying what a pleasure it is to get a nice hot cup of coffee ON THE HOUSE on a cold and dreary October day? I don’t think I’ve ever been such a clueless American when ordering food as I was that day, but the ladies running Magasinet’s café never ceased to charm and delight.
Food probably tastes better when you have a smile on your face, but even if it doesn’t the salmon and spinach quiche with side salad was great. The highlight of the meal, though, was the apple pie/​tart: one of several homemade desserts and pastries covering a table in one corner of the café. I wish I could’ve tried them all.
To top it all off, the café itself is inviting and tastefully decorated, with a view of the historic fort across the water through the large central window. What a great place!
