Staff was so friendly! We had a nice table in the garden! Food was great! I've wanted to try it for a long time. Be sure you don't miss shopping in the Swedish shop across the street too! read more

Cannot find fault with this iconic restaurant. Excellent food and service in a quaint setting. In warm weather backyard patio is delightful. A few favorite lunch items: quiche and the tuna sandwich with grapes. read more

My family has been going to this restaurant for over 30 years and we always love it. The service is always quick and kind and it feels a bit like Sweden in there I just love it. The food is so good, the Belgium waffle, salmon omelette, and the fresh squeezed orange juice are my favorites. I will always try and visit this restaurant whenever I visit Chicago area! It's worth the stop! read more

Tre Kronor - Belgium waffle with fresh fruit, Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE TIME TO WASTE!! We came in about 12:45 and after being sat no one came up to us again until about 1. After ordering we got our drinks about 1:15 and our food didn't come out at all, we ended up leaving at 2 and STILL NOTHING. All while other tables that were sat after us were fully attended to and served before us. When I went up to cancel and leave the server said "yeah I don't blame you"??? Unreal. Super cute spot, but the inattentive service and long for no reason wait times will cause me to never come back. read more

Tre Kronor is a cozy spot in a corner, to say the least. The popularity is definitely there since we had to wait a bit to be seated. We ended up exploring North Park College as a time waster and enjoyed the walk through their campus. The food was aesthetically pleasing all around from the waffle to hot chocolate. I would recommend the waffle since my French Toast looked so pretty yet lifeless at the same time. I feel like I'm just used to the fluffy/airy French Toast look and this was not the case. Hence, the Cinnabon tasted like soap. Although, I think because of the busy day the plate may have been just washed and thrown back out. Overall, Tre Kronor was okay for the price and I would go back to try and redeem it. read more

I had seen this restaurant on a show on the Food Network and I wanted to try it as soon as I saw it. Not many cities in the USA have a Swedish restaurant. No, IKEA isn't really a Swedish restaurant, it's more like Swedish fast-food restaurant. I wish I would have done more research, we went for a late lunch on a Monday and turns out they only serve Swedish meatballs for dinner on Tuesday-Friday. They serve open-faced sandwich with meatballs for lunch though which my wife and son ordered which was pretty good. I ordered the pickled herring plate as an appetizer. It was so good, it probably didn't hurt that I haven't had good pickled herring for a number of years. It was also served with eggs and salad. They also serve Swedish crispbread with butter. I like it but not everyone does. It's hard and crispy but I like the flavor and texture. I ordered Anders' Hash as the entree. I asked our server and it's not a typical Swedish hash more of Swedish/American inspired hash but it was very good. It also comes with eggs cooked like you want it. I like sweet, red sliced beets with hash and the server was able to get me some which made the meal even better. The decor was nice and definitely reminds me of Sweden. They also have a very nice Swedish store next door which isn't to be missed. We usually come to Chicago once a year and we will definitely make sure we stop by on our next trip. read more

Outdoor seating is available in summer time with about 10 tables sitting 2-4 people. It is a small garden seating arrnagement, surrounded by plants, which is great, but there will be many fruit flies. You enter from their side entrance on N Spaulding Ave during summer days. It's best to go early for breakfast otherwise you'll wait a bit. On a Friday morning, there were already 6 tables taken right at opening at 9am. Homemade Quiche (today's specials were broccoli cheddar or salmon dill which is pricey but delicious) is available even during breakfast time (it's on the lunch menu). Swedish pancakes were very tasty, just small portions. Ticket time was about 20 min for breakfast. Nice service overall, but very little conversation. -1 star for value/amount of food and many fruit flies, but very good food read more

I've been coming to this place with my grandma for quite some time. When something is this good, there's really no reason to change things up. The inside is super cute, and always incredibly packed. We went a little after typical brunch times - closer to their closing time (but not so close that we were those rude people keeping the employees from closing, mind you.) and found that this was probably the best time to go. There are tables in every possible spot to maximize this tiny place. If personal space is your thing, Tre Kronor is probably not going to make you happy. The one thing that does rightly change is the menu. Based on different factors (I'm sure), there are different specials each time we go. I had a salmon benedict which was fantastic. Just the right amount of portion without being insanely stuffed. Grandma got the quiche and I'm now regretting not taking a bite when she offered - she said it's consistently great. read more

My favorite place to dine. Simple, delicious, good portioned foods. Service was wonderful, and it's a cute area with a nice outdoor area in the back. I also love to hop next door to the huge Swedish trinket shop to look for cute little gifts. Would recommend highly to try! read more

Tre Kronor - Sorry for the fuzzy picture but as you can tell, a lovely delicious waffle. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Completely blown away by the food and the service. I've been back now at least once a week. A must visit place, but only if you like great food, fresh ingredients, and affordable prices. read more

LOVE this place!! If we lived closer this would 100% be a go to spot. Service was absolutely lovely and attentive, good COVID measures were taken, and food was excellent! We started with good cup of coffee (which was kept very full throughout the meal) and a cardamom bun. We wanted to also try a danish but many were already sold out - go early if you're interested in the pastries! The bun was delicious - soft, chewy, just the right amount of sweet, and served warm. The eggs and hash was so so good. They make the hash in house I believe and it was very flavorful. Swedish pancakes were also very well made (though a smaller portion than the massive waffle with fresh fruit loaded on top - we jealously watched as others' waffles passed by!!) the lunge berry jam was tart and not too sweet, didn't even need the maple syrup. Will definitely make the trek back up here. 5 star service and food all around for this neighborhood spot! read more

Cutest patio!! My friend and I came in for brunch and it was perfect! We had our own space to ourselves in the back with the nicest waiter - Joseph! We shared a salted Carmel danish that was heaven in desert form. Joseph recommended the Swedish meatball sandwich with potatoes and it was the epitome of comfort food. The potatoes were crispy and paired well with the gravy. We couldn't turn down desert so we shared a lemon tart. The perfect end to our meal. This is a perfect spot for a relaxing meal so take your time and don't be rushed (life's too fast as it is) Also - GET A DANISH! read more

I came here again on a weekday evening to have a late meal with a girl friend. We sat ourselves inside and it wasn't crowded like it typically is for brunch, which was nice for a catch-up. The server was very sweet and put on a fresh pot of coffee for me when I stepped in at 5 pm. We weren't feeling particularly peckish, so we decided to get a cup of soup and share an appetizer. I loved the carrot dill soup. I was SO tempted to order a second cup. Instead, we split an appetizer of crab cakes. Of course, we capitulated and couldn't stop at soup and an appetizer. We each ordered a dessert: I had a delicious blueberry purée while my friend had a lemon tart. We were very pleased at the end of our meal. read more

We love everything about this charming Nordic restaurant! Always our favorite for special occasions. Try their desserts! Wow!

This was stop one on our family's world pancake tour, and the Swedish pancakes with lingonberry preserves was a hit with us. They're thicker than a crepe but thinner than an American pancake. Very roll able. Combine thst with the sweet yet tart preserves makes for a light but tasty breakfast. Very intimate seating arrangement, but they maximize the space available. Good food and good service. read more

Very nice atmosphere along with super friendly staff. Enjoyed a delicious brunch. Would highly recommend giving it a try. Had the corned beef hash. Decent size portion and hit the spot completely. read more

Absolutely loved this place!! I took my mother for her birthday for some authentic Swedish food and it was perfect! Not too busy (which surprised me given how amazing the food is).

One of our all time favorite brunch spots and of course they did not disappoint. The Stockholm omelette is great for meat lovers and the Belgian waffle is great for those who prefer sweetness for breakfast. Also, ALWAYS ask what the Quiche of the Day is. They never disappoint. If you live on the North side of Chicago, then you HAVE to visit this place! Such a cute little spot with fabulous outdoor seating in the summer and super friendly staff. read more

Love the food. Somehow, they never have a record of my reservation when I arrive. Luckily, the last time, we had only to wait 10 minutes. Other times we didn't wait. Getting refills on coffee has always been a struggle. The staff are perfectly friendly, just not great attention. Again, I love the food well enough to keep us returning. read more

Excellent. Five stars all around. From the service, to the atmosphere, to the food. I recommend the omelettes, the sausage, and the quiches. The staff is kind, attentive, and hilarious. Get the Kobenhaven Omelette! read more

We have been meaning to try this place for a while and finally stopped in yesterday morning right after opening. We were seated in the adorable outdoor garden area which was lovely despite a few pesky bees. The quiche options change daily - I opted for the salmon and dill rather than the ham and asparagus. My boyfriend and sister both ordered the vanilla and orange French toast. The quiche was delicious and the slice was quite generous; it was served with fruit. However, I did feel that $15 was a bit steep considering it was not served with an additional side. The French toast was yummy but a bit underwhelming - my sister and boyfriend both said that "orange" flavor didn't really come through. They were also a bit disappointed that this dish did not come with a side. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it if you're in the area. read more

Tre Kronor had a Valentines Day Dinner today that was outstanding. They had a select Imenu with a few new items. We each shared the garden salad with goat cheese; wonderful as always. And a bowl of mussels that were delicious. We each chose the Ribeye steak for our main course, which hasn't been on their menu for some years now. It was incredibly delicious. We ordered medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. Accompanied by roasted beets and potatoes, which complimented the steak, ideally, this is a main dish they need to bring back. For dessert, we had a medley of homemade dessert, including lingonberry ice cream. We can't wait to go back. read more

Let me declare myself: I don't care for Scandinavian fare. I will say the herring is good, even for me with the flaw of not liking Scandinavian food. What raises the bar here is the service, not just the food getting to the table but the bubbling server, always with a smile and buoyant attitude. read more

My friend and I stopped in because the reviews looked good. The food was yummy! I got the Norwegian meatball sandwich and it was good, but there wasn't anything spectacular or special about it. The portion size was decent for the price. The atmosphere and area was very cozy, small, and cute. They have an upstairs, which we didn't know about. We enjoyed the company around us and it seemed like a popular, neighborhood, and comfort food spot. This is a great place for brunch, families, kids, and friends. I would come back to red other meals! read more

Been coming here for years. Service used to be better. During last visit, waitress said organic sausage delicious when I asked her about it - no mention it was ultra spicy. She took order and wasn't seen again til after meal and check presented. That's when I asked if sausage was suppose to be ultra spicy. Yup. So much for info. Paid bill with cash. Cash was scooped up so fast it was like a hawk came down for prey. Hubby and were both taken back and turned off by this visit. Not sure if we'll be back - plenty of good restaurants in Chicago. read more

Unique Scandinavian options mixed in with some stand by classics. Tasty meatballs and speciality sausages.

Beeing Swedish I visited Tre Kronor with the hope of eating Swedish food. Upon arriving, I noticed there was not a single Swedish dish on the menu. After 5 minutes the manager approached our table stating in an extremely agressive and confrontational way that service dogs are not allowed at the restaurant. If you are looking for a restaurant with good service or Swedish food - avoid this place at all costs! read more

Tre Kronor is great. It's right by campus and is an easy spot to go out for brunch with friends or when your family visits. The interior is cozy and the outdoor garden seating area is beautiful!

The staff are all very nice and if you're in the area I definitely recommend this place! read more

Fantastic service! And great food much better service than another Swedish restaurant across town

Lovely restaurant The baked brie was beautiful and amazingly delicious - could have used a few more slices of apple to come out even Baked onion soup was great I put more love into my salmon than they do and the potatoes were dry and flavorless. Will not order again but definitely plan on returning to try their 30 minute baked duck They were out of bread and rice pudding so ordered their chocolate mousse and it was light and heavenly, perfect way to end the meal read more

This breakfast/brunch spot is just pure homey feeling from the gecko; it has two floors from what I've seen and my boyfriend and I were seated upstairs which felt like we walking in someone's apartment. The service is very friendly but the food does come out little slow in my opinion or it's probably because I was really hungry lol the atmosphere is relaxing and the noise level is quiet to the point you can hear people conversations. I ordered the Belgium waffle with fresh fruits and whipped cream with the side of diced potatoes. Omg! The waffle was very instagram worthy. Took the first bite and it immediately taste delicious. The waffle was light and delicious. I recommend getting the waffle, you won't regret it. My boyfriend got the French toast and he said it was good but not good enough to stand out from others restaurants. I would definitely come back here again for the waffle. read more
