Scandikitchen, a review of London's Scandinavian cafe

It's a good place to take a break if you have the misfortune to end up shopping on Oxford Street.

Scandi Kitchen is on the north side of Oxford Street, about 250 metres from Oxford Circus tube station, on Great Titchfield Street.

It's easy to find: walk east from Oxford Circus tube station along the north side of Oxford Street and turn left on to Great Titchfield Street, when you get to Sweden's fashion house, H&M.

Once on Great Titchfield Street you can't miss Scandi, as it is more affectionately known, because they always have a black board outside, often with a double entendre about topless Scandinavians.

Not only is Scandi the best place for a break if you have the misfortune to be shopping on Oxford Street, their smörgåsbord is worth a detour and putting up with the hordes of Primarkers.

London's best Nordic restaurants

The elegant European menu has a distinct Nordic feel – nettle soup, smoked mackerel salad, line-caught ‘skrei’ cod – while ‘fika’ (a kind of Swedish coffee break) takes place every afternoon and includes the usual cinnamon buns, pickled herring and, rather unusually, reindeer scotch egg.

32, Harcourt Street, W1H (020 3771 8660) Scandi coffee shop gets street-food kudos at Ludenwic, a Nordic-inspired café in Aldwych set up last year by the guys behind Scotchtails, the brilliant scotch egg trader in Borough Market.

Old pal Matt Shea from B.O.B.’s Lobster in Brixton was immediately drafted in to design the small but perfectly formed menu: there’s smashed avocado on toast with salmon sourced from London-based Nordic smokehouse House of Sverre; traditional berry bowls with coconut yoghurt, berry pulse, fresh fruit and banana granola; salads of pickled peach, green beans, feta and hazelnut; and sourdough sarnies filled with porchetta, salsa verde, smoked mackerel and beetroot.

This place is part of the new-wave Nordic sweeping the city – full of nuance and subtleties – and its opening last summer wasn’t a moment too soon.

Try baked rarebit on rye bread or the full Danish with ‘bloody Viking ketchup’ at brunch or snaps-cured salmon, flash-fried smoked eel and pork veal meatballs later in the day.

Scandinavian Kitchen: restaurant review

At the Scandinavian Kitchen you can lunch on Swedish meatballs on rye bread or have a cinnamon bun with your coffee in the Nordic-style, streamlined café, or you can fill up your shopping basket with Danish liver pate, Dumle caramels and salty liquorice in the adjacent, Scandinavian grocery shop, which stocks over 600 different Danish, Swedish and Norwegian products.

Triangles are so last season The idea for the Scandinavian Kitchen arose when the Aurells realised that London’s many eager sandwich munchers only really had three types of sandwiches to choose between for their lunch-on-the-go.

People who work in the neighbourhood have learned to eat rye bread for lunch, and Aurell is proud that only 10 percent of the café punters are Scandinavian.

The Scandinavians make their pilgrimage to the café during the weekend, to satisfy their craving for pickled fish and dark bread, but generally, Aurell is proud to say that it’s a very mixed crowd who have opened their eyes to the Nordic way of lunching.

Contrary to the café, which has converted people of many nationalities to Nordic fare, the grocery shop is more targeted towards Scandinavians in London, who know what they want.

Scandinavian Kitchen - Wikipedia

Scandinavian Kitchen is a Scandinavian delicatessen and grocery store located at 61 Great Titchfield Street.

Its menu is based on the smörgåsbord and the Danish smørrebrød[1] (open sandwich) and draws on the Scandinavian tradition of uncomplicated food served on rye bread.

The Kitchen’s grocery section stocks over 600 food products[2] from all over Scandinavia including a large selection of pickled herring, specialty cheeses and crisp bread as well as chocolate and the northern European speciality, salty liquorice.

Opened in 2007, it was the first Scandinavian delicatessen to open in London.

Texture - London Restaurant Reviews | Hardens

An ambitious newcomer, just north of Oxford Street, where the personal touch of the co-owners - an ex-Manoir head chef and sommelier - is much in evidence; while we were charmed by the service (and wines), we were not convinced that the strikingly-plated dishes lived up to their high prices.

Texture is an under-appreciated part of the dining experience - that's the culinary credo of this airy new spot, just north of Oxford Street.

It sounds as if it might be a bit pretentious, but with Agnar Sverisson - formerly head chef of Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons - in charge of the kitchen, this is clearly an endeavour that demands to be taken seriously.

Manager Xavier Rousset also comes with Manoir heritage: he was formerly head sommelier there, and an apparently genuine delight in wine seems to run through the entire operation.

Sverisson has not only worked at the Manoir - where the style is essentially classical - but also, albeit briefly, at the very highly-regarded El Celler de San Roca, in Spain.

Scandinavian Kitchen | Restaurants in Fitzrovia, London

Whether homesick Scandinavian, or hungry Brit, you get a warm welcome from the smiley staff at SK.

They cope well even during busy periods, when seats (at tables at the back, plus a few stools and a sofa at the front) are at a premium, and are a dab hand at doling out decent coffees (made with Monmouth beans) and Swedish cinnamon buns.

At lunch, there are mix-and-match combos of salads (beetroot and apple, carrot and courgette, sweet potato with rye grain – all good), open sandwiches (such as smoked salmon) and wraps (smoked ham and Scandinavian cheese), plus a soup of the day (always vegetarian) or a hot dog with crispy onions.

Cakes are baked every day: kladdkaka (Swedish sticky chocolate cake, served with whipped cream) and apple cake are excellent choices; there’s a good range of teas, such as elderflower and ginger, too.

Further temptation comes in the form of Scandinavian groceries, from crispbreads to herring and liquorice, dotted about the red- and black-accented premises (with even more available online).
