Kattilakoski

Yet another trip up to the Polar Circle, this time with Christina’s family, and this time with a booking already made at Kattilakoski, one of the premiere restaurants in Sweden that lies on the polar circle. Winner of Best Restaurant 2006. It was a beautiful setting, out on the riverside. The food was really good – not the most outstanding meal I’ve ever had but one of the best in Sweden absolutely.

One of the plagues of summer, aside from ultra-repetetive summer songs, is mosquitoes. At times they form a literal cloud around you. The land up here is quite swampy and wet after all the melting snow. When we got to the polar circle marker, the ‘men’ Detlef and Michael, were too chicken to leave the car.

On the way back we went to Aavasakksanvara – the tower, to try and see the midnight sun, but unfortunately the clouds got in the way. Still was perty though.
