  1. Fantastic article Martin! You certainly are AT THE TOP of your game when it comes to foodblogging. Very balanced, articulate, and the photos very inviting. I tried it too during their opening and it was really moreish. You basically captured the very essence of Vikings! Kudos to your blog.

  2. Congrats! Almost all of your photos have been published in the papers!

  3. how much is the buffet?

  4. Since the Vikings lowered their prices they have also dumbed down the quality and selection of their food offerings. If you just want to pig out, it is probably still ok but if you only go there a couple times a year and expect the quality the Vikings used to be known for you will be disappointed.
