Giant 2 story bright red building in Albion’s Heart, you can’t miss it driving along.
The fitout is fantastic and worked in really well – they added onto the rustic appearance this turn of the century property offered and added their own unique touches.

PEOPLE
Run by two guys from the Gold Coast, it’s easy to think they’ll succeed from their clear passion and drive to really make it something special. It’s also about who you know! The guys had some great connections to pull it all together quickly.

Sweedish bias from co-founder Kim offers the Brisabane palate something out of the ordinary – Brisbane needs to be more adventurous – Blueberry pancakes with a sweet basil pesto garnish!

SWEDISH TREAT
Stockholm Syndrome Cafe Bar is hoping to start taking food-loving diners captive by the end of this month. Owners Mark Fitzsimmons and Swedish-born Kim Larsson are launching their Swedish accented venue, complete with cabaret bar, behind the red-painted facade of what used to be Ciao Baby on Sandgate Rd, Albion. The duo is still seeking a chef to get those Scandinavian flavours “spot on” but Kim (ex Alto Cucina, Broadbeach) says when they do, we’ll see the likes of dill-flecked, prawn-laden toast Skagen, meatballs, gravlax and maybe even Jansson’s Temptation on the menu. The drinks list should also contain plenty of ciders and Scandinavian beers.
