The international cuisines at Vikings Bacolod

Smörgåsbord. It is a word we often hear that is associated with having so many food preparations where you can enjoy a lot of choices. Merriam-Webster defines it as “luncheon or supper buffet offering a variety of foods and dishes (such as hors d’oeuvres, hot and cold meats, smoked and pickled fish, cheeses, salads, and relishes).”

The term traces its roots in Sweden in the Scandinavian area, where the Vikings originated. And that is how we eat, Smörgåsbord-style when we feast on the buffet offerings at Vikings restaurant. But more than just enjoying a variety of food, you can get to taste cuisines from different countries and places. The good thing about this is that you don’t have to spend on airfare, hotel and tour packages to eat international food. You can have them just by dining in Vikings, which has branches nationwide, such as in SM City Bacolod.
