Really good food! Meatballs were paired nicely with the sauce, potatoes and jam! The chicken crepe was nicely flavoured. The breakfast set was really nice especially the two sausages included on the plate. The creamy pasta was really good as well, really tasty and filling. Would definitely come back again in the future!

Was here on Christmas Eve 2022 with colleagues for a celebration. Environment was super cozy and homelike. We had the second floor to ourselves for a while. Food was tasty, decently portioned and generous. I had the mushroom pasta which was done perfectly. Also tried the desserts and ice cream which were all delicious as well. Recommended

We had been coming here for a while now. Tonight we tried the gravlax sandwich for the first time. Very generous serving, enough for 3 as a starter. The fisherman pasta was tasty and has a hint of honey sweetness. Yummy delicious. Service was great as always.

It’s located at a nice neighbourhood and the ambience was enjoyable. We had the Fisherman Pasta but the taste wasn’t strong enough even though it has lots of different seafood in it. We also ordered the Smorgasbord and it has a tremendous spread! However, some of the items doesn’t seem to go very well with each other like sirloin and grilled chicken together with the herring. Individually the taste were still acceptable and overall it was a filling meal.

A nice cozy restaurant in Arab street. We were given seats in the 2nd floor. Reservation is a must if you are going for lunch or dinner as it can get crowded The staffs are extremely friendly. The menu options are quite limited but the food is tasty. It is slightly overpriced IMO. A good Swedish cuisine in Arab street.

Had dinner with my partner on Monday evening. Not a huge fan of the QR menus but the interior was amazing ☺️ Food wise, meatballs were crumbly but paired well with the sauce and jam. Baked potato sides were really good ☺️ My steak came last and it was okay. Did not ask for the doneness upon order but I was okay with it. (Please ask if you're those who are particular) Overall, the plating of the food was really aesthetically pleasing! Loved it ☺️

Quite disappointing food for a supposedly highly rated cafe, the location had nice vibes situated right in Haji lane but the food was disappointing for the price, lunch sets were sold out too early, service was sad, they gave the wrong set of utensils in the basket and poorly made the drinks. The lamb stew was especially disappointing, bland and poor quality.

I had to bring my mom along to dine in here & my mom is impressed with the food and service that was provided by the staff here. The food was amazing! We will definitely recommend it to our family and friends, and most important we will definitely come back again 💯

Food was marvellous. The steak i had was cooked medium doneness and seasoned on point. The accompanying warm potato salad and lettuce complements the meat very well. Portion was huge, so if u are a small eater, pls consider sharing a main and probably order a side to go along. The meatball was juice and tender, mashed potato was buttery smooth. Heard good reviews from my friends who has the grilled chicken and barramundi. The only flop side, there is no staff waiting at the tables for 2nd floor. Other than that, we had a good meal, great ambience and good time spent together. The price is justified by the taste and quality of food. Highly recommended.

Although the food was alright, the seat I was at was vibrating throughout the whole meal and it was really annoying. We later realised that we were seated directly above a ceiling fan installed on level 1 which is likely the cause of the vibration. Our table was next to a window and I found it rather glaring but was sternly told by one of the servers that the curtains must be kept open. While I respect that the restaurant might have a good reason for such a rule, the message could have been more politely communicated.

Had the privilege of being served by the staff, Rifqi as he attended to our enquiries patiently and recommended the best items on the menu. Tried the codfish from their mains which was very delicious. Their pasta options which include pasta bake and creamy pasta suits our taste preferences as the sauces were nicely-balanced and flavoursome. The crowd on a Friday at around 5pm was mild and we made a booking reservation! :)

Service can be warmer. It really doesn’t cost much to wear a smile when introducing your patrons to their table. Had a steak with warm potato salad, received almost well done instead of medium rare. We asked for more water once, and it didn’t come. Water comes with a small charge. Our group was seated upstairs, and one of us had to make our way down every time if we wanted to ask the service staff for assistance.

It’s been a while since my last visit to Fika. Was rather disappointed by the quality of the food and service rendered this time round. I recalled the server used to take order but now we have to self-order at the counter. As we were seated at the second level, it was rather a hassle to go up and down a few time just to order and ask for water. If they want to have self-service ordering, at least allow customers to scan and order via QR code. The meatball was rather dry and the grilled chicken was slightly salty too. We requested for candles and they did not offer too. Could feel a huge difference in the overall experience this visit, and would likely not return again.

Never fell in love this easy with food before and yes i said it. I love how tasty the meatballs are and the beef stew are made with almost perfection. Definitely come again next time to try some new dishes next time.

Ordered apple crumble with a huge scoop of ice cream. Delicious, could be a little more seasoned. Fisherman pasta was filled with plenty seafood. Prawns were especially fresh. Pasta was Al dente. Sauce was delicious although a little salty. Great service and environment (indoors)

Ordered 5 items 1. The soup of the day is average, nothing to shout about. I’ll rate it 3/5 2. Meatballs are tasty and with the lingonberry jam, taste better than IKEA’s version. 5/5 3. Kalops beef stew was a favorite among our table, it was so delectable we finished it all. The bread was not a lot so maybe can order extra bread 5/5 4. The Hasselback potato on cheesy skagen is good, enough cheese at the same time contains shrimp 4/5 5. The steak with warm potato salad was the star of the show. Very generous portions with lots of flavor and cooked very well with a crispy exterior. The bearnaise sauce was delicious too. 5/5 Overall definitely worth a visit !

Best steak I've ever had. Super scrumptious meals. Very well cooked. Service can be improved. Despite having 3-4 waiters behind the counter, took almost 45mins for them to clear the table behind us which was empty since we came. Cafe was empty except us on the bottom floor too yet the dishes was left out not cleared. They took awhile to clear our table too. We just had to stack our plates up for other meals. They saw the dirty empty plates, but ignored purposely. Service can definitely improve. We had trouble trying to get their attention during our meals. Had to call over and over again even when they're like an arms away lol. Overall the food itself is definitely worth to patronise. I will definitely come again but hopefully service would have made improvements by then.

Came here on a Sunday night for dinner, and thankfully it wasn't so crowded at that time, despite this being quite a popular place. The atmosphere feels very warm and cozy, a nice place to chill with friends or yourself. And I believe they even have some books on the shelves for you to read. The food is delicious. It feels so carefully prepared and cooked, like it was made with lots of love. The grilled chicken crepe, although doesn't look the most pretty, was insanely good. I loved the cheese and sesame mayo, the taste just comes together so nicely. And the amount of chicken inside is enough to fill you up. The meatballs are good as well, but they can feel a bit 'heaty', so I wish there was more sauce to drown out that inflamed feeling at the back of my throat. I find it a bit odd that the meatball has cartilage inside, but at least that's how you know it was homemade. Highly recommend anyone to visit this cafe. It may be a bit pricey, but it lives up to the hype!

Had a group lunch at Fika after hearing some good reviews from friends. We had quite a large group of more than 10pax but Fika was able to accommodate us with no fuss and that was greatly appreciated! Food was really good! Both in terms of quality as well as presentation. Portions were excellent too and everyone in my group really cleaned our plates even though we were really full just from the soup, bread basket and potato salad. However, once the mains were served, there was no stopping us! And naturally, there's always room for desserts! All items were well balanced in taste and texture plus the service staff were so polite. Definitely a place I would frequent again!

The food is generally good. I like the picked herring plate, the shrimp sandwich and especially recommend the caramel waffle - it was really delicious and a great end to the meal. However, suggest to skip the mutton stew - which is not very flavorful - as well as the crepe - which seems slightly burnt and tastes bitter.

Food are great! Ordered the hasselback cheesy potato and it was scrumptious. Portion is good for a side dish, creamy and has shrimps in the skagen. Ordered the meatballs and baked pasta as well. Service could be better, was taken aback at how unfriendly the service were. Nevertheless, the food is good so is the atmosphere.

I really wanted to like this, food looked awesome and reviews were great. However service was very poor when I was there, although I think this may have been because I was dressed in my gym clothes (most others seemed to be in button down etc). I was sat outside, being told all the indoor tables had been reserved, fair enough I guess, although didn’t see them get filled up while I ate. Ordered the steak with warm potato salad, the steak was tougher than I would have hoped for the price (ordered medium rare) however the potato salad and sauce were excellent. I was going to order dessert after dinner but was just given the bill so decided I wouldn’t. I expected more. Not sure if I’ll try again.

It was time to break our fast and the other restaurant we went to was booked. That was good for us as we went here instead. Halal swedish food in Singapore, a funny combination but the food was delicious. They gave us dates to break our fast whilst food was cooked. I had the steak with potatoes and it was lovely. We were rushed out a bit because they were closing but other than that great.
