Refreshing spot for Scandinavian cuisine in Manhattan. The Swedish meatballs with lingonberries were thoroughly enjoyable as was the smorgasbord, which featured several Scandinavian dishes. The waffles were also light and a delicious dessert.
I throughly enjoyed everything here. The aesthetic is very pleasing. The lingonberry juice was fresh. The burger was grass fed beef. The waffles with strawberry compote was a great blend to complete the meal! I felt very much Scandinavian...
A friendly and attentive waitstaff, a spirited conversation, a bottle of Prosecco, and a beyond fantastic meal made our evening at Smorgas Chef an incredible success. Hopefully, Prof. Diggs and Sara will want to join us for more LDC meetings in the future!
As a disgruntled New Yorker eager to leave this wretched city, its places like these that bring back that nostalgic love for a city I once truly adored like nothing else on earth. Which other city (outside of Scandinavia) would have entire center devoted to Scandinavian cuisine, art, history, film and culture??
They feature films, book-readings, events all connected to Scandinavia. The space is beautiful and the service was excellent and welcoming. The little shop is so cute and reminded me of the beautiful time I spent in Norway 5 years ago. This is what New York is about! Incorporating so many different cultures and people into one city so that we all belong here as one. We are the city of the world 🌎 💜
Helpful, friendly place where you can pick up some Scandinavian treats and indulge in regional art. When I lived in Minneapolis I regularly frequented the American Swedish Institute there, this is nowhere near as large or well equipped as that institute. Give the Park Avenue address and the compact space, it is extremely good. Unfortunately on my visit, the Bjork cafe was closed.
Came here for an evening event in their space on the second floor. Service was great and they provide a lot of flexibility in terms of venue setup and decorations. Catering provided by the Scandinavian restaurant was simple but good.
Fantastic. The freshness is unmatched. Lovely food. Just a nice quiet and quaint place. Everything is 5 star here. The gentleman open sandwich was perfect. I highly recommend this place to anyone with a palate for fine dining. Scandinavian food at its best.
Such an authentic Scandinavian vibe, feels like you're in Copenhagen. Delicious Scandinavian fare at their modern, natural Birch wood cafe. Stylish furniture and Marimekko napkins, beautiful cutlery, a real visual and culinary measure. Very friendly service, everyone willing to explain the novel cuisine. Our brunch smorgasbord plates had a bit of all the favorites: herring, new potatoes, smoked salmon, crackers, cheese, pickles. Very yummy, nice desserts, well priced. Great gift shops.
This building houses organizations that promote Scandinavian culture. There is a library with books on all aspects of Scandinavia, an event space,a photo gallery and children's programming. There is also a restaurant and gift shop.
If you are at all interested in the culture of this little known part of the world, a visit to the Scandinavia House is worth a trip .

Absolutely delicious Scandinavian food casual setting. Love that they gave us a dessert menu without asking get the princess cake and latte you won't regret. Loved the lingdenberry seltzer
Member of choir of the synagogue that holds monthly and high holiday services. Scandinavia House has an excellent restaurant.
It’s a tranquil dinner place to have some conversations with friends. We went for dinner at a busy Friday night and we never regretted. Good Swedish food (not unexpectedly amazing) but the vibe did make it even better.
Great ,tasty food, nice store.
Very friendly people work here.
