Scandinavian Kitchen (Fitzrovia)

• D told me I was about to visit Scandinavian Kitchen and not have a cinnamon bun
• Serving pizza with dips and sauces&rdquo
• Calling coffee with milk a latte&rdquo
• Eyes all big and sparkly with excitement&hellip
• One of the best things about Scandinavian Kitchen&rsquo
• The impeccable design of the cafe is perhaps a bit at odds with this lighthearted spirit
• T help but pair my morning pastry with a cappuccino
• S cup of filter coffee was much more in tune with the Nordic spirit
• My next mission is to taste all the combinations of nuts
• This part deli part grocery store is highly appreciated by all the Scandis in town and is the ideal lunch stop in Marylebone
• We all know that our Northern European neighbours have excellent food but did you know that they were also bread connoisseurs
• Not only the shop is full of amazing stuff to bring home the coffee shop is also a great place to be
• The swedish meatball sandwich is just awesome
• Earlier this week there was a brief five millisecond window when the weather wasn&rsquo
• The weather was actually quite mild with practically clear skies and a temperature which had me walking through Fitzrovia in an unbuttoned jacket
• Or maybe I was distracted by the silent screams &ldquo
• Bright red Scandinavian Kitchen sign down the road that I was able to actually make a decision
• I walked in and was immediately greeted with two big
• Friendly service and it was clear that that&rsquo
• S exactly what I was about to get here at Scandinavian Kitchen
• I decided to go with their Nordic porridge (with berries
• The porridge came in a much larger portion than I had initially assumed and was a lot thicker than your average porridge&hellip
• I was not only a fan of the consistency but the actual flavour of the Nordic porridge went perfectly with the berries that they&rsquo
• In all honesty I was kind of upset that I couldn&rsquo
• D been served as I was already late (due to my longer than expected walk beforehand) for a meeting near St Paul&rsquo
• The portions are generous and most important of all
• Their food and drinks are of a good quality
• Tapas and small dishes are the premise of many excellent cuisines around the world
• The Scandinavian Smorgasbord is one of the best lunch options on the market
• The closest station is Oxford Circus
• Welcoming and happy with tonnes of knowledge about what flavours and dishes work together
• Calm and welcoming with a large communal table in the centre and benches around the walls
• We kicked off with the sandwiches
• The sweet pork pate open sandwich was served with smoked
• The hot smoked salmon on crisp bread was expertly balanced between the soft salmon topping and crisp
• Next the beef and horseradish was again a great mix of soft and crunchy textures
• The cheese open sandwich started with a relatively mild flavour but ended tasting much stronger which I really enjoyed
• Finally the smoked salmon 'gravlax' on soft rye bread was served with tiny slivers of cucumber so overall was pretty moist
• Overall the sandwich flavours were comforting enough that I didn't feel out of my depth
• Interesting enough to feel like I was indulging in a new and unique cuisine
• These little salads are perfect for January eating as they are absolutely packed with flavour
• Except the artichoke one which came with almonds that I am a little sad about as I love artichokes
• These little vegetables are really forgotten on the high street and rarely used
• Red onions and dill was incredibly rich in flavour and yet so light and easy to eat
• Studded with red onions and peppers was absolutely sensational in this case Alex could have eaten bowls of it
• The flavour was beautifully fresh and zingy
• The beetroot and apple salad was wonderfully fresh and sweet
• Tasting almost like a dessert which was definitely interesting contrasted with the other flavours
• One of the places that stole my heart recently is this little Scandinavian treasure hidden in Fitzrovia
• Everything is designed to lure you back
• On top of that there is the deli shop that will have you lurking around for delicious specialties to bring home
• Behind the counter are a plethora of open sandwiches which you're encouraged to mix and match to create a bespoke smorgasbord of flavours
• Egg mayo on rye bread topped with crunchy red onion which was excellent
• One thing we learned here was the food was fresh made daily
• Clean palette and with a drink my food came to a tenner
• I'm a big fan of Scandinavian kitchen (pastries even more) and Scandinavian Kitchen (Fitzrovia) was a always wanted to go for me
• In fact it was a bit disappointing
• The decoration is like a warehouse
• The cakes are the best thing in here
• Minimalist motifs as opposed to its more Southern counterparts with more chunky
• Who took the world by storm with their clear cut furniture
• Why indeed price your objects of desire at full fledged heavy weight points when they were actually made of chip board
