On Saturday I paid SEK 87 for a Brownie with vanilla ice-cream in Grill Ruby in Stockholm’s Gamla Stan. Having ordered a coffee, I wanted something sweet on the side and asked the waitress if they had any cakes … she recommended the Brownie which I took without seeing a preview of the price.
It was delicious – warm, soft and chocolatey with a cute ball of icecream on top and I savoured every mouthful. Until the bill came and I discovered my five-minute Brownie session was going to set me back SEK 87, or approx EUR 9.
It was good but definitely too expensive. Even in the most touristy part of Stockholm, I cannot justify almost EUR 12 for a coffee and brownie. Luckily they at least gave us a free coffee refill.
