Chris HainesJuly 11, 2015A wonderful Swedish restaurant that is delightful. With a cozy inheritor and great rooftop bar, it's a very pleasant dining experience. The meatballs are delicious and the real ale burger is great!
ZuzApril 16, 2016Charming and cozy. Go to a hidden terrace even if it's a little cold. They have blankets upstairs and serve nice soups. This will keep you warm :)
Daniel HallOctober 29, 2014A really rather delicious selection of Scandinavian foods. Small and friendly. Well-priced too. Portions maybe a tad small, nonetheless recommended.
MaríaOctober 24, 2015Cute place. Tasty salmon starter and eggs on toast (poached eggs are out of the question, though). Chewy lamb. Unbelievably slow service.
Ilma IbriševićOctober 5, 2014Beautiful small terrace and a great location: close to Bricklane and Colombia markets!
Georgia LissitchkovaNovember 3, 2014Lovely little place on Brick Lane. Cozy terrace, friendly staff. Love the home made lemonade :)
AnneAugust 7, 2014Lovely place on Brick Lane. Try the Swedish meatballs or Gravadlax, both delicious!
Latifa AZDIJanuary 17, 2015Goat cheese & pepper popcorn for starters. Wild mushroom risotto for main course!
Nikolai SkoglundJune 27, 2015Cozy and hip. Had the lax planka and the salmon was great. The mash was really not worth it. No taste
Kim WalbridgeSeptember 7, 2014I really loved the meatballs. Reasonable portion size and fast to come out.- Maarten den BraberApril 14, 2013Relaxed place for a cocktail on a Friday night - much less touristy than the rest of this area.
David AdamsJune 14, 2013A quiet spot on the roof for early evenings, get away from the brick lane noise
Alex WardSeptember 7, 2013Food was ok. It's Wes Anderson themed at the moment and the staff are excellent. I'd go for a drink on the roof or admire the decor but not eat.
ElviraNovember 5, 2011Very good food. Nice restaurant, but very cold (12°C and all windows open?!), no wifi, dirty tea-mug. I would go there again, hopefully closed windows by then...
JohannesAugust 17, 2013Forget about the cinnamon buns! This was the most awful microwave heated peace of wannabe kanelbulle I've ever tasted! Hur besviken kan man bli?
Oriane JusterJune 12, 2011Bring cash indeed ! Waffles are fabulous, if you are two people, it's nice to share the four starters.
Lea VerouFebruary 12, 2014If you want a medium steak, order it rare. Apart from that, it was pretty tasty.
Wordbank LtdJuly 20, 2011It's time to impress the staff. Ask for todays specials, in Swedish! "Vad är dagens rätt?" [Vad aer dar-ghens raett]
Naila MaiaMarch 5, 2016Burger is a miss. Need a chainsaw to cut through the bun. Chips aparently are made individually as two were nice, two were raw and the rest were burnt. Service is kind but food really disappointing.
Victoria SummersDecember 11, 2010Delicious waffles - either with honey or strawberries . . . Nice little roof terrace too.
Simon DonaldsonJanuary 16, 2014Service in the day time was terrible. I'd only come back in the eve when it was excellent.
Julia VasindaSeptember 2, 2016The food was great but the service was horrible. Took 15 minutes to take our order and drinks didn't come until we were done with our meal
A BNovember 30, 2014Had reservations here for Sunday brunch. Turned up. Waitress said the chef hadn't turned up. Super lame.
Zuriñe EchanizFebruary 24, 2014Had 4 teas and one coffee. They forgot the sugar, teaspoons and milk but they did not forgot the service charge.
Yağız Berk OkanOctober 5, 2012The old menu was better. The portions are tiny as usual. Service is slow. The Swedish meatballs are not as good as before.
karine jamroszczykFebruary 7, 2010prendre un Lax Planka : un saumon sauce hollandaise servi sur une planche de bois avec une barrière de purée de pommes de terre pour éviter que la sauce ne coule partout. Miam ! Read more
