Swedish term or phrase: vita dukar
Hello

If a top restaurant says that it's 'vita dukar' in the evenings, I'd like to know if you think that's about the same as 'silver service' in English.

I can't find a solid confirmation in a dictionary but the comparison seems logical to make.

But as I never get to eat in top restaurants cos I'm just a poor translator, I'd like a confirmation

Thanks
