The Story of Skål
"Legend has it that the word ‘skål’ was born when Viking warriors routinely drank from the skulls of their enemies, but a more likely explanation is that it is derived from the word for ‘bowl’, as such a vessel containing a hearty drink would customarily be passed around at gatherings between friends."
Welcome to Skål! We chose the Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish word for ‘cheers’ to be the name of our new eatery because it evokes the joy of getting together with friends to eat, drink, and be merry. This new addition to Cape Town’s food scene could comfortably be categorised as a dive bar serving uncomplicated yet tasty food like burgers, hot dogs, ribs, wings, and poppers. So raise your goblets in cheer: SKÅL!
