| - I went for weekend brunch with a friend who had recently returned from a trip to Norway and was craving some Nordic food. It is better to make a reservation ahead of time as it does get busy (not a lot of brunch places take reservations anyway, so this is an advantage!).
Service was a bit slow, but the wait staff are very pleasant and friendly. There is a large display case for all their sandwiches, pastries, and other dishes, so be sure to take your time to pick what appeals to you! We ordered the roast beef smørrebrød and potato pancake brunch with hot smoked trout, beet and horseradish cured gravlax, & poached duck egg. The smørrebrød was a bit lacking in flavour, but they were kind enough to give us some house spicy sauce (don't be fooled, it is SUPER spicy!). The beet & horseradish cured gravlax was amazing and truly one-of-a-kind (luckily it is available to be bought separately for take-away!). I also had the Nordic Fog tea latte, which is blood orange black tea blended with black currant tea with wild flower honey. FIKA-TASTIC, a must try for brunch, for fika, and everything in between!
