The Swedish version of Downton Abbey, The Restaurant chronicles the story of the elite Lowander family who own a restaurant in Stockholm that was once successful but now facing hard times. Time period is immediately after the end of WWII when remnants of Hitler sympathizers still remain, even within the family.
Filmed in the beautiful backdrop of Stockholm, this 3 season series provides a much needed escape from our crazy and stressful world and transports us to another time and era….sprinkling in a love story, government upheaval and kitchen staff politics, makes this an extremely enjoyable viewing. It can be seen on Sundance Now — accessed from an Amazon Prime account.
