Historical version 6 of Scandinavian Kitchen, W1W 7PP (view current version)

Scandinavian cafe/deli/coffee shop offering open sandwiches and flapjacks along with coffee from the Monmouth Coffee Company. Open from 8am on weekdays, so handy for breakfast; and the LRB review linked below suggests that the breakfast platter is well worth trying.

A three-item platter is £4.50, and a five-item platter £6.50; their website recommends the three-item platter for a "normal" lunch and the five-item version if you're especially hungry.

There is a range of open sandwiches which can be added to a platter, mostly involving fish as might be expected. There are also a few vegetarian options. For an additional £1.00, you can add a potato salad on the side. Portions are small but filling, which also holds for the pastries (though these are somewhat disappointing when compared to those in Nordic Bakery). However, the coffee is excellent and presented in lovely mugs. In general, design is a strong feature of the Scandinavian Kitchen.

An anonymous visitor comments that the flapjacks are "fantastic", the coffee is "great", and the place as a whole is "good value for money".

Also stocks Scandinavian groceries including a wide range of herring products.
