And for meat lovers, we highly recommend our rare roasted Dexter Black sirloin of beef Smørrebrød with horseradish, crispy onions, and watercress.

And who could forget about our meat dishes? Our Ethical Butcher koldt bord, a selection of British charcuterie, is a carnivore's delight. Alternatively, you could opt for our Danish meatballs, the Frikadeller, served with buttery mash, pickled cucumber, lingonberries, and gravy. It's a traditional Nordic treat that will take your tastebuds on a journey to the heart of Denmark.

But we haven't forgotten about our plant-based patrons. Our menu also includes a variety of vegetable dishes, such as our Red baby gem salad with peas, broad beans, and foraged herbs dressed lightly with buttermilk, or our Råraka - a Swedish potato cake served with brined leeks and Danbo cheese. It's a plant lover's paradise!

And to wrap up your meal, why not try one of our traditional desserts? From our homemade Cinnamon Bun served with cinnamon bun ice cream, to our Vesterbotten & blueberry cheesecake tart, or even our Kladdkaka, a gooey chocolate cake, we promise to satisfy your sweet tooth with our Nordic-inspired desserts.

We also have an assortment of beverages to complement the Nordic feast. Our selection of akvavits and schnapps, including Aalborg Jubilaeums, Aalborg Taffel, Aalborg Dild Akvavit, O.P.
