Hi
I have eaten at IKEA several times. Their food is not bad considering the price. And if you go for e.g. salmon with veggies it is pretty healthy as well :-) Or maybe this is only served in the Norwegian IKEA?

I like IKEA's food too. I go to the Phoenix/Tempe store regularly.
I was in Moscow, Russia a few weeks ago and stopped at the store on the south side of the city. The food there is identical to the US, apart from the soup being borscht. Same meatballs, salmon, cakes, etc.

Eat there all the time when shopping.
Love the meatballs. Love the El Cheapo breakfast. Heck, most of their food is cheap and not bad for the price.

Do they have the same food in all IKEAs over the world?
I've eaten in IKEA outside of Barcelona, just once. Not bad, good price.
Also, I like buying Kttbullar (meatballs) and cookies from a mini-market they have there.

Yup, it's just about the same food at every IKEA, even in Sweden. And you can always stock up on seasonal specialties in the mini-market (beyond just the candy, cookies etc.). How about having a crawfish party in August? Sadly IKEA doesn't sell schnapps.

Maybe it was a new introductory offer, but it was something.
I have to admit the coffees are more bearable in the Sydney one.
Coffee can be highly variable between Ikeas.

Meatballs are comfort food and should taste homemade.

Balls For A Buck!!
This Friday through Sunday, March 5 - March 7, 2010, Ikea will feature the 10-meatball dinner (with mashed and sauce) for $1.00.

No but I hear it is very good here at my local IKEA in Duiven, the Netherlands. A lot of people go there for lunch.
