If you fancy a hot dog or some meatballs the Scandinavian way but don't want to trek to IKEA, then go for a Scandinavian immersion experience in Soho at Scandinavian Kitchen.

Staff are lovely, happy and friendly, and all speak the local lingo - be that Swedish/Danish/Norwegian or great English.

The food is 'the real stuff', what Scandinavians eat at home, everyday, and casually. You get both the Danish smorrebrod and the Swedish bite-sized open sandwiches with Swedish Kalles Kaviar, anchovies, crayfish, meatballs, roastbeef, and frikadeller.

To go with the coffee, thankfully you can choose from the Swedish 'black North Sea oil' stuff or the more delicate Monmouth coffee, you will find both chokladbollar (chocolate balls) and dammsugare (vacuum cleaners - cannot be explained, has to be experienced!).

And for any homesick Scandinavian, the cafe/restaurant is lined with goodies from home: filmjolk, Kalles, medvurst, nyponsoppa, Fazer and godis. Bliss!]]> Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:09:27 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1e56x7y/scandinavian-kitchen78160792 lively international family & home feel good value 51.518837 -0.140763 Wodka - review by rassami http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka

Wodka is a brilliant, buzzy yet relaxed, fun and friendly little gem in the middle of a rather conservative neighbourhood. This is one of my absolutely favourite places in London with the manager Kasia worth many stars for making guests feel welcome.
The food is Polish but with a French sophisticated twist, with the eel salad a must, ditto the rabbit or the duck when on the menu.
The vodkas, a wide-ranging array, are beautiful whether home-made or imported. Tip: have only vodkas and water, beware of mixing with wine! ]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:18:52 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1x3wi7/wodka1208035476 lively international family & home feel good value 51.498573565348 -0.18762556497097
