I love these northwest side reviews -- you're always hitting the joints I grew up near. Though I don't think I've eaten at this place since I was about 8. Which, "Again?," just proves you're an idiot. This place has been around forever. I do miss Lori's, which was also on Foster right around Kedzie. It used to be a great diner/ice cream shop. Now I think it's an odd Thai place? Though I haven't checked on it in awhile.

North Park? Swedish/Norwegian foods? That's no yuppie breakfast place.

Again?

Great. Another yuppie breakfast place. Just what the North Side needs.

Tre Kronor is the goods. The food is always hot (If you've been to most of the other popular breakfast/brunch places in the city, you know this is an accomplishment that's often overlooked), skillfully prepared and mouthwateringly flavorful. The staff is unfailingly polite and attentive. There's no pretension, no attitude, just a warm and diverse room full of people enjoying food prepared by people who must take immense pride in what they do. There's no other way to explain a restaurant that hits the mark on every level so consistently, and without overcharging. My only complaint is that it can take forever to get a table, but it's really not the restaurant's fault. While they don't rush you out the door, they are efficient. It's more a testimonial to a business that attracts a loyal following.

If you love eggs benedict, go on the weekends. I was disappointed when I went there during the week and they didn't have any eggs benedict specials. I made up for it by getting an Oslo omelette.

Yeah they have corned beef hash in a kind of stripped style that is absolutely delicious. Love that place. Too bad it is perpetually packed.

I have always liked the food at Tre Kronor. It tastes homemade. Beware of going on a Sunday morning, however. It's very busy. Last time I went then, it felt more hectic than it usually does, and the kitchen screwed up our order. Very nicely, though, they took the messed-up order off our bill.

Tre Kronor's Christmas julbord is a great tradition to share with your family or friends. The food is a delightful treat -- though lutefisk isn't quite to everyone's taste -- but the real highlight is when the lights go down and one of the waitresses sings Santa Lucia while wearing a crown of candles.
