Review of Taxinge Slott – by My J.

Had really longed to come here because of everything you heard and how hyped the place is - but was actually a little disappointed and will probably lower this rating a bit now ....
I had been looking forward to the cake buffet so much but once in place it didn't feel as luxurious as I imagined it. Don't know if it was because it felt stressed trying to look through everything but really, I think it's about the fact that a lot of it was boring. Together in a lot it looked great and fun, but the pastries and cakes separately looked rather boring and not at all attractive. I thought I'd have a hard time choosing because I wanted a lot - instead I had a hard time choosing because I kind of wasn't keen on anything?
I ended up taking a carrot cake and a chocolate ball. 2 things that always, always work! And sure - they were good, but something special and worth going from Stockholm for it really wasn't.
I also took a shrimp sandwich because we were there over lunch. It was good and generous with shrimp but a soft bread that did not fit at all in either taste or structure.
Just as we suspected, we had to stand in line for an hour before we entered. Our daughter was hungry and outside there was a small café. Half a roll with a slice of cheese and a slice of paprika cost 65 crowns! TRIGGERED in every way. Actually absolutely sick. Guess they take advantage of the fact that some can't wait to go in and run loose on the sums in the kiosk. But it drags this rating down quite a bit because I think it's shameless.
The castle looks otherwise ok and there is a small sad playground there. Maybe it's fun for slightly bigger kids with a cake buffet but worth the trip or the price it really isn't.
