Fika - Swedish for coffee break - is "a way of being" as they define themselves. Thanks to its wooden decor it resembles a spa more than a bar/restaurant/cafe. The soft lights and the friendly atmosphere inside makes this place so cozy that you may feel like you're sitting in your own living room only with kind people serving you food and drinks. The kangaroo, sipping tea on the wall, looks like it's ready to keep you company in case you want to take a break from your book.
Once you're inside you feel like you have taken shelter in a hut after a long walk in the wilds of Sweden. You can warm yourself with a selection of schnapps from Sweden or choose from the wine list, which offers a good variety without confusing you with French château names. I recommend the Beef Plankstek (£14.90), which is served on a wooden board nicely decorated with mashed potatoes. For a more traditional choice you might go for the meatballs; they live up to their name!
Make sure you have space for the dessert because Kladdkaka deluxe (£3.90) is heavenly. I couldn't dare to try the waffle stack after dinner but next time I'm going there just for this killer dessert and will report back.
This Brick Lane restaurant is great for romantic meals with candle light, spending a lazy Sunday afternoon reading or small size parties.
