IKEA Atlanta’s Traditional Swedish Julbord (Holiday Smörgåsbord) Buffet, Dec 11th

Tickets Available for $16.99 / $4.99 Kids 12 & Under; Discounted Prices for IKEA FAMILY* Members

Atlanta, GA (December 3, 2015) – IKEA invites the public to celebrate this holiday season with a traditional Swedish Julbord buffet in our IKEA Restaurant on Friday, Dec. 11, 2015. The all-you-can-eat smörgåsbord will include several courses of Swedish holiday favorites such as holiday ham, smoked salmon, meatballs with lingonberries, and much more. Tickets are available for only $16.99 per person or $4.99 for kids 12 & under. IKEA FAMILY members’ tickets are $12.99 per person or $2.99 for kids 12 & under.

Julbord is a classic Christmas dinner in Scandinavian countries. The word “Julbord” is made up of two parts: “Jul,” meaning Yule (synonymous with Christmas) and “Bord,” meaning table. The traditional, three-course Swedish Julbord is a highlight of Swedish cuisine, consisting of local and family specialties. The spread typically begins with a variety of fish as the first course, cold sliced meats such as ham as the second course, and warm dishes such as Swedish meatballs as the third course.

In many homes, conversation and togetherness begins over food,” says Jill Matherson, IKEA Atlanta Store Manager. “We invite our customers to enjoy a meal with us. Taste a piece of Sweden during our classic Swedish holiday tradition!”
