Fodor's Expert Review Pläj

The only Swedish restaurant in San Francisco is tucked behind the lobby of the Inn at the Opera and serves refreshing cuisine—fish pickled, smoked, or cured. Chef Roberth Sundell is from Stockholm, and although the aquatic fare might be the highlight, the Swedish meatballs with lingonberries is a treasured family recipe and truly a must-order. The money spot is the table in front of the fireplace. Pläj is a phonetic spelling of the word "play."

Sundell pays attention to vegan diets with a special menu for those diners.
