Splendid Swedish and western cuisine restaurant with very reasonable price. The place serves best pizza and pizza bread like no other in Thailand or else not to mention delicious Swedish style Seabass dish cooked in white wine cram sauce (Fish Wichuda), meatball in raspberry sauce etc. And don't forget to try that mashed potato.
If you ask for Lung (uncle) Ulf special on Fish Wichuda, you may have your dish decorated with extra prawns on top of it.
