I love love love this place! I visit every few weeks just to get my smorrebrod and smoked fish fix.
The food is fantastic, largely because chef Leif and his partner Donna use the highest quality ingredients and really care about technique. Everything is made in-house - the pickles, the sauces, the baked treats, the jams and dressings, and you can tell when you take your first bite of food.
I usually order their shrimp smorrebrod (sans bread since I can't eat gluten) and I always get an order of their house-smoked trout to go. Both dishes are heavenly!
My boyfriend loves their fried chicken (with hot sauce!), and their farmer's sausage is delicious too.
If you're new to the restaurant, I'd recommend the smokehouse platter. It's great value, and it gives you a chance to taste a variety of classic Scandinavian tastes.
Their aquavit cocktails are inventive and tasty (if a bit weak - I wish they were 1.5 or 2 oz. cocktails), and their Glogg is amazing on a cold winter evening.
The service is the best part of the experience. Donna and Lief are amazing hosts, and they clearly take pride in their work and their neighbourhood. Feel free to ask questions about the menu and food preparation. They are accommodating and frankly love talking about the food they serve.
