There's heaps of cafes to choose from on any given weekend in Manly, but there's only one with cute Swedish decor, sunny yellow coffee cups and legit Swedish food! Fika Swedish Kitchen in Manly is one of the few places serving Swedish food in Sydney. And yes, that does in include Swedish meatballs - but they're a definitely a step up from the ones at Ikea! If you're not feeling adventurous, they do have standard bacon and eggs and the like on the menu, but I'd recommend channelling your inner Swede and going for the open sandwiches (smörgåsen) and seafood dishes like salmon gravlax, pickled herring and caviar. There's also a range of desserts and pastries to choose from including warm cinnamon buns and apple pies if you're just after a sweet treat to go with your Swedish tea or filtered coffee.
TL;DR: Swedish food in a cute cafe setting
Favourite dish: Toast Skagen - prawn, dill & lemon mayo mix with avocado, stacked on sourdough
Would I return?: Yes, if I'm in the area
