Having lunch on a sunny day on Tonka Strandgatan, right by the Ume River, is almost like sitting on an outdoor terrace during the summer. Large windows with light and nice views are very nice to enjoy, especially during this dark winter. This summer is ...
När vi inte ska samlas inomhus och umgås går det att samlas utomhus, där är det dessutom mycket enklare att hålla distans. En promenad med vännen längs älven och en kopp termoskaffe på en bänk, en sprakande eld vid en grillplats med en annan familj eller fira farfars...
Yesterday we were photographing for this website and also an upcoming campaign for our services. We chose Kont, a nature reserve a few miles outside Umeå. The day before it had been stormy and rainy, one of the worst storms in many years.
Lovely afternoon with teatime at Mona Prestele in Hörnsjö. Here, next to Mona's garden, which blooms and greens in summer, there is a cozy café where everything is home-baked and prepared by Mona herself. Mona's Teatime is a concept, a taste experience, where Mona herself serves ...
Ramen! A really well-made ramen is one of the best things I know and perfect during the cold season. Until a year or so ago, we did not have a good ramen bar in Umeå. There are some sushi places that have ramen and then there is noodle soup at some Asian ...

Recently, there was a sik rum premiere at Gamla Salteriet in Obbola. Early in the autumn, the rum grains are the smallest and according to many, the white rum is now most similar to the rum. The rum grains then get bigger and bigger, what is tastiest is probably most taste and liking but it is exciting ...
Waffles are some of the best "fika" I know. Fika and lunch in perfect combination. Good in the mountains, where it is kind of a necessity, but it is very good here on the coast as well. But to eat waffles, I think you should go out of town. Preferably to a place surrounded by beautiful nature.
