Backward Dinner
Why eat dinner the normal way when you can start with dessert and mix things up? At our Backward Dinner, everything is topsy-turvy from start to finish (or from finish to start, as we like to say). This option is available with the Family Package and Late In Package.
Menu:
- Meringue Sundae
- Beef tenderloin with fries and sides
- Veggie sticks with dip
For kids ages 5+. Adults are only allowed if absolutely necessary! (+75 SEK for kids with a package).
