Swedish Chef Carola Magnusson at London Grill

This October, Cinnamon Grand Colombo brings the spirit of Scandinavia to the city as part of the grand 50th anniversary celebration of its signature London Grill. 

Leading the experience is Chef Carola Magnusson, renowned Swedish chef and Founder & CEO of Carolas Eko, who has curated an authentic Swedish menu along with the beloved tradition of freshly baked cinnamon buns.

From 2nd to 5th October at London Grill, she will present a refined à la carte menu featuring dishes that reflect the soul of Swedish cuisine. Among the highlights are the classic Swedish Skagen on sourdough crostini, her refreshing Jerusalem Artichoke Soup, the comforting Moose Meatballs with lingonberries and potato-celeriac purée, and the delicately balanced SaltCured Seabass Fillet with white wine sauce and trout roe. Each dish is a tribute to the purity and elegance of Nordic gastronomy.

The celebration continues on 4th October, when Cinnamon Grand’s Tea Lounge marks International Cinnamon Bun Day with a live Swedish Cinnamon Bun action station, personally inspired by Chef Carola’s recipes. Guests can savour warm, cardamom-spiced buns fresh from the oven, alongside the hotel’s indulgent special high tea buffet, a charming nod to Sweden’s sweetest tradition.

Together, these experiences not only highlight Chef Carola’s culinary artistry but also honour the London Grill’s remarkable five-decade legacy as Colombo’s most enduring fine dining destination.
