I don't think that I have ever had real Scandinavian food, but if Bjork is a good example, then I…read moreshould probably pack my bags and move to Sweden. We stopped Bjork around 2:30pm after a long train ride from Riomaggiore. The kitchen was not open at the time, but they had some freshly prepared open sandwiches. They looked like Swedish sushi - beautiful presentation. The staff was very friendly and spoke good English. The store looks like it was cut out of a Scandinavian furniture magazine - very well appointed.

If you are a fan of all things Swedish and Ikea's food quality is not doing it for you, this place…read moremight be worth checking out. They have different kinds of beers (the smoked norse one is delicious), aquavit, ciders, flours, crackers, syrups, cured meats, ginger cookies, marmalades, design and home decor pieces, yummy salmon, herring, caviar, and many other Swedish delicacies. Prices are on the high side but most of these products are difficult (maybe impossible) to find in town. They are planning to open a brasserie in the coming months, but in the meantime their Swedish and Italian chefs provide catering for your Scandinavian-inspired events.

We had a late lunch here, and sat in the cafe area as the restaurant area was closed. We ordered…read morethe eggplant Parmesan and a caesar salad. Both were excellent. Service was a tad slow, but we came at an odd time. The desserts looked amazing!

De Canto was my favorite caffe in Milano on my recent stay…read more The location was perfect right on the Piazza Della Scala. I stopped in after looking at the Galleria D'Italia, a space with free exhibits owned by Banca d'Intesa. This caffe has a warm wood interior. You may order at your table any of the food or drinks and the waitstaff will bring it to you. I spent a countless number of times at de Canto because I had just window-shopped along the Via Montenapoleone or had visited Rizzoli in the Galleria nearby or just wanted an oasis of quiet in this mad, chaotic city that was away from the crowds. There is no copperto so you don't pay extra to sit or stand. It's copperto free! I enjoyed having a cup of tea in each visit. If you order a coffee, you get a small piece of Venchi chocolate - a nice treat! Tired from shopping, from visiting the Duomo, from your crazy co-workers or sweetheart who has been nagging you all day, stop by de Canto. You will leave refreshed and feeling very zen.

Their system made and an error and booked my party on the wrong date and the restaurant proceeded…read moreto charge me $772 for a no show. I booked this as a birthday dinner (I.e. a very distinct date) and shared the date/time, number to call, and instructions to change the reservation for my group (just in case). They did not call or text to confirm, simply sent an automated reminder email to justify the booking and charge (which was missed because we were on a ski holiday). The restaurant manager was extremely rude and made no attempt to accommodate. I tried to find a date in the future to reschedule (even asked openly what is the next available date was after being shot down when I provided suggested dates) and the restaurant manger simply said "there is no availability". Clearly I was not welcomed. No service recovery was offered, no accommodation for a future reservation was made, simply a firm message that I will be charged $772 for a dinner I never experienced because the meal was already prepared (this was a 3 hour tasting and they said all the food was already made and it would be thrown in the trash). This is not Michelin star service. They do not deserve their star after the rude, unaccommodating, and non-proactive experience they provided. Given how stern and quick to defend their cancellation policy and fees the restaurant manager was, I assume this establishment has encountered this situation before. The right thing to do was to recognize your guests' needs, offer to accommodate, and recover services. I walked away feeling robbed, unseen, and completely violated by a team that was more interested in taking my money vs. doing the right thing and providing Michelin star service. Where was the text or call to confirm the reservation? Where was your service mindset and empathy? Where was the anticipation of needs and the propensity to delight? I have lost faith in the Michelin star rating system after this. You have corrupted the entire institution by getting away with this.

Our hotel also had this on the list of recommended restaurants, so we decided to stop by for dinner. Thank goodness we did!! Every single dish was spectacular. And it was more like 7 courses than 5. We stayed here from 7pm until 10:40 - it was a marvelous meal for our one night in Zermatt. The staff here are also so friendly amiable, really made us feel so welcome :) I'd recommend this as a must-eat to anyone who visits Zermatt!!! Wouldn't be surprised if they get a Michelin star in the future
