IKEA to celebrate traditional annual Swedish Easter Smörgåsbord on April 11

The traditional, all-you can eat buffet will be hosted in all IKEA Restaurants onFriday, April 11. Guests can enjoy an endless meal of classic Swedish food offerings such as Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, smoked salmon, Swedish ham, and much more. The cost of the buffet is $9.99 per person or $2.49 for kids 12 and under for IKEA FAMILY* members ($12.99 per person/$4.99 for kids 12 and under for non-IKEA FAMILY attendees).

Because of long, cold winters in Sweden, Easter comes as a welcome sign of spring. Swedish homes are decorated with feathered birch twigs, chickens and decorated eggs. As part of the celebration, children dress up in costumes, paint eggs and play games. The festivities culminate with a big smörgåsbord spread of traditional Swedish favorites.
