About this Event

Sillunch at the Swedish Club – A Monthly Tradition with a View!


Join us every first Friday of the month for Sillunch in our welcoming Three Crowns Lounge, where tradition, culture, and culinary appetites come together—alongside some of the most iconic views in Seattle.

This classic Swedish lunch includes a delicious spread of pickled herring, boiled potatoes, crispbread, and seasonal sides—everything you’d expect from a traditional Swedish sillbord. You’ll also enjoy a full Fika table, complete with coffee and a rotating selection of desserts to finish your meal the sweet way.

It’s all just $25 (plus tax) for a cozy, culture-rich dining experience that’s crisp, clean, and fun—just like the Swedish way.

Grab your tickets today and come hungry! RSVP encouraged!



What is a sillbord or Sillunch?

A sillbord (literally “herring table” in Swedish) is a traditional Swedish buffet-style spread centered around pickled herring, usually accompanied by classic sides like:

  • Boiled potatoes
  • Sour cream and chives
  • Crispbread (knäckebröd)
  • Cheese
  • Hard-boiled eggs
  • Various sauces and garnishes
  • Sometimes cold cuts or smoked fish

It's a staple of Swedish celebrations, especially during holidays like Midsummer, Christmas (Julbord), and Easter, but can also be enjoyed at special lunches like Sillunch.

Think of it as a smaller, more focused cousin of the full smörgåsbord, with herring taking center stage.
