Thanks for posting this article. Seasonal restaurants face difficult challenges, and it is nice to see them succeeding.

- Glad you enjoyed it. The restaurant business sure is a difficult one. Especially those parts of it being season bound.

For long, Scandinavian gourmets have agreed Oaxen to be one of the best restaurants here in Sweden (I haven’t visited it myself though), but so far it hasn’t exactly sparked up major international abroad.

Correction:

“..but so far it hasn’t exactly sparked up major international abroad.”

is, of course, meant to read “..but so far it hasn’t exactly sparked up major INTEREST abroad.”
