Ligia and I had lunch at the IKEA Restaurant in College Park, MD today. It was a first for both of us. We stopped by to have a look at the store, we were hungry, and thought we’d try it out.

The look of the place is typical IKEA: modern, open, and clean. The menu is tantalizing, and the prices were great. Once again, it’s what one would expect of IKEA. We took our trays and eating utensils, and waited in line for our turn. I had the salmon dish, and Ligia had the vegetarian quiche. They looked different on our plates than their photos. And, the person who served them to us, was, shall we say, not very friendly.

At any rate, we decided to forget those little inconveniences, and we sat down to eat. One bite was all it took. The salmon was amazing. Ligia started raving about the quiche. We ended up sharing the dishes between us. It was delicious. The salmon was so nicely prepared that it practically melted in my mouth. We had the Swedish apple pie for dessert, and ended up browsing the store with smiles on our faces.

Overall, I’d recommend the IKEA restaurant. It’s got inexpensive and delicious dishes that you will enjoy.
