English was no problem as well for the nice officer who talked to us. The only fun fact - but this seems to be typical for Sweden - you have to pull a number and get served when it is your turn. Unfortunately, there is not much hope to get hold of that person even though there was CCTV in the parking garage...

This buffet is in the cultural center for Jönköping Spira. 2nd time here and just as good as…read morebefore. Attractively presented tasty food and attentive and polite servers. The main attraction is the setting, along the water with its dramatic architecture. Parking is metered, but there is always lots of parking. I think it's better than the Göteborg Operahouse, in its design, food offerings and staff. You can book a larger party with reserved tables. When you check in, there is a welcome drink of non alcholic apple cider in champagne glasses which gives a festive feel to the meal. The tables with Swedish designer chairs add another layer of ambience with the huge glass windows letting in the Scandanavian light and view of the water. Småland is home to many furniture makers and even IKEA, so I highly recommend visitors to go to Jönköping.

But it is not very friendly for new customers that have never been here before. it is a nightmare to find your way to the right part of the mall. There are no big signs telling which store is where that you can see from the car. You need to park the car and get into the center to be able to find store names. Make sure you know exactly which part (at least know the colours) the specific store you are looking for. Also make sure you have lots of time. And money.

Not sure if I should review the rest-stop or the historical Brahehus site?…read more Let's go for the view at the historic site. Simply amazing. If you stop here, go over to the other side of the road and check it out. It's unbelievable. We didn't eat at the rest stop so I can't really say more than it looked ok, it was super busy but still seemed pretty relaxed. It's hard to rate this. It gets a 5 for the view.
