A 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!

Charming 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 :)

A really rather delicious selection of Scandinavian foods. Small and friendly. Well-priced too. Portions maybe a tad small, nonetheless recommended.

Cute place. Tasty salmon starter and eggs on toast (poached eggs are out of the question, though). Chewy lamb. Unbelievably slow service.

Beautiful small terrace and a great location: close to Bricklane and Colombia markets!

Lovely little place on Brick Lane. Cozy terrace, friendly staff. Love the home made lemonade :)

Lovely place on Brick Lane. Try the Swedish meatballs or Gravadlax, both delicious!

Goat cheese & pepper popcorn for starters. Wild mushroom risotto for main course!

Cozy and hip. Had the lax planka and the salmon was great. The mash was really not worth it. No taste

Very 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...

I really loved the meatballs. Reasonable portion size and fast to come out.

Relaxed place for a cocktail on a Friday night - much less touristy than the rest of this area.

Forget about the cinnamon buns! This was the most awful microwave heated peace of wannabe kanelbulle I've ever tasted! Hur besviken kan man bli?

Bring cash indeed ! Waffles are fabulous, if you are two people, it's nice to share the four starters.

Trendy Scandinavian food, and a relax ambiance.

Food 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.

Burger 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.

If you want a medium steak, order it rare. Apart from that, it was pretty tasty.

Make sure you checkout the upstairs

Lovely breakfast, great roof terrace, service can be a bit slow sometimes
Julia VasindaSeptember 2, 2016
The 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
Simon DonaldsonJanuary 16, 2014
Service in the day time was terrible. I'd only come back in the eve when it was excellent.

Delicious waffles - either with honey or strawberries . . . Nice little roof terrace too.
David AdamsJune 14, 2013
A quiet spot on the roof for early evenings, get away from the brick lane noise
Steve HJune 28, 2015
Great hidden rooftop terrace.

Try their 'Jul Fika'! Unbelievably amazing.

My mum, "It's like a posh Ikea." The Finnish beer was awesome.
Thomas CastroSeptember 10, 2014
Awesome food, ctrl+alt+del beer!

Had 4 teas and one coffee. They forgot the sugar, teaspoons and milk but they did not forgot the service charge.

Surprisingly good Swedish restaurant.

Had reservations here for Sunday brunch. Turned up. Waitress said the chef hadn't turned up. Super lame.
Danielle MorrillNovember 4, 2011
Amazing bunless burger - pair with pear cider for the perfect lunch
Yağız Berk OkanOctober 5, 2012
The old menu was better. The portions are tiny as usual. Service is slow. The Swedish meatballs are not as good as before.

Try anything on a plank. Bring cash.
Marta ZampeseFebruary 7, 2013
Try meetballs. Nothing to compare with the Ikea one.

Service is not so fast, but food is ok
Patrick SmithSeptember 30, 2011
Very slow service. Don't go if you're in a rush. Food is average.

Plank steak was terrible

prendre 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
