Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant

The highlight of our day was dinner at this special restaurant. What makes it so special? Well, it could be the goats on the roof, with a Goat Cam (new this year) so you can see the goats during daylight hours. Or it could be that the delicious, authentic Swedish food is served by beautiful waitresses in traditional Swedish costumes. Or it could be the location across from the gorgeous Sister Bay marina.

(Note: Click the links above to go to the restaurant’s web site for lots more info, and to see the Goat Cam live, but remember that the goats aren’t there at night.)

But the main reason it’s special to us is that Al (Albert) Johnson is the name of Don’s maternal grandfather, who was Swedish. In fact, Don’s middle name is Albert, from his grandfather. The only remaining member of the Johnson family is Don’s Aunt Della Johnson McKamey, who lives in Santa Rosa, CA. So, Della, this blog is for you!

We visited Sister Bay during the day, enjoying the perfect sunny weather, then returned for dinner later.

  1. It's strange, until I read your post I'd never ever considered what authentic Swedish food might be. Fish maybe? Surely not those cute goats on the roof?

  2. And what did you eat? I was looking forward to seeing the dish? We saw the place and took photos, but didn't eat there, so I was looking forward to seeing what you ordered, smile! Hope it lived up to your expectations!!
