"Ekte Nordic Kitchen is an all-day spot in Bloomberg Arcade that’s perfect for a quiet lunch involving smørrebrød and lingonberries, or when you’re not trying to prove your alpha-dog credentials by consuming your own weight in red meat. The room has a whole Scandi minimalism thing going on with just the right amount of foliage. Reasonably priced mains like schnitzel and frikadeller (meatballs) make it a useful place for midweek meetings." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"Ekte Nordic Kitchen is in Bloomberg Arcade, but unless you get your kicks from smorrebrod and lingonberries, you might find it lacks some of the excitement of other local spots like Brigadiers or Koya. That’s no reason not to come here though. This all-day restaurant is perfect for when you’re looking for a quiet spot to catch up with a friend over something kind of healthy, or when you’re not trying to prove your alpha-dog credentials by consuming your own weight in red meat. But, with tasty and well-priced mains like the deep fried plaice fillet, there’s no need to leave hungry either." - Oliver Feldman

We really enjoyed our meal and the service here. We wandered into this restaurant after looking at the various options in the vicinity during our visit to London, and we're really happy with our choice. Our server (Layla) was very pleasant and offered some suggestions, all of which were great. All the staff that we interacted with were really great and smiled at every moment, it seemed. I'd highly recommend this place.

The visit was overall a truly great experience! From the welcome when we stepped in to the great food. Would definitely recommend and I look forward to come back and try more of the menu. If you do the Smørrebrød two is great as a main course as they are quite big. Meatballs was also really good! Swapped the cream fresh with the chocolate cake to vanilla ice cream, great decision. Also adding the cinnamon ice cream to the warm cinnamon bun was another great pairing. Nordic espresso was a great cocktail to go with dessert. Very attentive and knowledgeable staff that added to the overall great experience.

Thank you for a lovely evening! We hosted a private dinner for circa 20 people at Ekte on a hot evening in September. The food was absolutely delicious - new Nordic cuisine and flavours beautifully presented. The staff were attentive and very helpful. We had a few last minute changes to the table seating and they were very accommodating.

Pretty good Nordic food here at Ekte, the Curried herring SMØRREBRØD was tasty and fresh but a little on the sweeter side for our liking so couldn't really finish it. The mushrooms and sourdough toast tasted good with a generous helping of various mushrooms, found it tad bit greasy the way it had been cooked and probably could do with a bit more seasoning (which is just a personal preference). The rice pudding with cherry compote was delicious and very comforting to eat. Prices vs what you get is OK, a bit on the pricier side but the quality is good and you'd have a tasty meal no matter what you get, could just do with a few tweaks here and there. Staff and service was great and could not fault, definitely will be back to try other dishes.

Me and my partner loved the food, it was delicious. The service was brilliant and staff was lovely and very attentive. It was my birthday and the manager got me one of their chocolate desserts with a candle on it- this seriously made my night. It’s such a thoughtful gesture. I will definitely visit again and recommend Ekte to my friends.

What a great find. Haven't been round this area for years. We stopped for a long lunch. Had prawns for starters hot smoked salmon and a warm potato salad. The menu had plenty of fish and seafood options. The drinks selection was also impressive - we had prosecco and a Sicilian white wine. There's an outdoor space but we say inside. Staff were friendly, attentive and professional. I would definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

Great place to try Nordic Cuisine. Try the Smørrebrød which are open sandwiches on rye bread. We ordered mostly vegetarian options which were limited but very tasty. The Swedish Potato Dumplings are delicious. The Fennel Salad is great. The Desserts are wonderful. It's a stylish restaurant, well worth visiting.

Never tried Scandinavian food before so can't really compare but the food was very nice. Had the lamb chops as medium rare and it was delicious. My friend has the meatball and said it was really nice too. Went around lunch time so it was busy but they were able to accommodate us despite having no booking.
