What is it?
A Swedish Tradition of Having Coffee and Cakes with Friends. It’s an institution in Sweden – the culinary equivalent of a Siesta.
Why do we love it?
Swedes will literally down tools and go and have a Fika. Nothing gets in the way. The Fika tradition is spreading – there’s even a coffee shop called Fika now open in New York. We love the idea of getting together with friends and having quality food and great coffee. Bliss!
Where can I have a Fika?
Fika is all about indulgence and atmosphere. Our two favourite places for a Fika in London are the Scandinavian Kitchen and Bea’s of Bloomsbury. Try them – you will not be disappointed!
Above: The Wonderful Food and Great Atmosphere at Scandi Kitchen, just behind Oxford Circus. Totally authentic Fika right in the heart of London. A long time favourite haunt of the KIDSEN Team. We unashamedly love everything they do!
