My daughter Stacey invited me to dine with her at Santiago Beer Garden on Monday, May 24, 2021 and made reservations for 6:00 pm.  Upon arriving and being seated we met Amber our waitress.  Very friendly with such an wonderful smile.  After waiting for about 10 minutes we ask for a menu only to be told that it was a contactless menu on the table.  

Stacey's ordered the fried double pork chops but after about 15 minutes another waitress approached our table and told us that they were out of pork chops.  She then order the stewed chicken.  While waiting for our food I noticed that the restaurant reminded me of pictures that I've seen in magazines of how a restaurant might look in Cuba (hope to visit) or in the Dominican Republic (another visit).  Music, a bit loud for me.  Brick walls, see through roof, plant vines climbing the walls and fake birds twinned in the branches.  Amber approached our table and introduced our next waiter Christian who was very personable and friendly.

Per Stacey, her stew chicken was very good and enough leftover to have for lunch the next day.  My grill chicken breast and all of the chopped and diced green and red peppers and onions on top made for a very tender and tasty meal.  The avocado was fresh and went well with both dishes.

BAGERIET - /baa-gar-ree-et/ in Swedish: “The Bakery”


Danishes with blueberries and raspberry + apple turnover








Friday, May 7 somewhere around 4:30 pm.  I noticed this bakery and decided to stop in and buy  just1 thing.  Mistake.  I should have known going in.  I ordered 3 danishes without even thinking.

Lets start with the apple turnover which I ate first with the intention of eating the danishes over the next two days.  After the first bite, I knew I was in trouble.  Just enough apple filling and the crust was like a pie crust, not puff pastry, wonderful.   

So I got myself in trouble by waiting almost 10 minutes and went after that cute golden brown blueberry danish.  Don't judge me.  Eating that light and flaky multilayer sweet pasty with fresh blueberries sitting on top of the cream cheese, tender, and delicately sweet, all I can tell you is that I then grabbed the raspberry danish and I had a lovely time.    

Was it worth the extra calories, yes, I just walked a little longer the next day.  

Just little FYI:  This is a Swedish bakery cafe with a touch of France.
