"'Hjem' means 'home' in both Scandinavian and Northumbrian dialects, uniting the birthplaces of owners Alex and Ally. The restaurant is located inside The Hadrian Hotel, with all guests arriving for an aperitif in a part of the building that feels more like the village local, before moving to the contrastingly pared-back dining room. In a nod to Chef Alex's Swedish heritage, the meal finishes with his version of 'fika' – as the table becomes covered in an assortment of sweet treats and snacks, it makes for a generous and fittingly memorable end to a superlative experience." - Michelin Inspector

"If you’re after a seriously good cup of coffee in Kensington, head to this Danish cafe. It’s easy to mistake the bench out front as the only alfresco seating, but you should know there’s also a secret patio/courtyard garden at the back. And who doesn’t love a secret courtyard?" - oliver feldman, rianne shlebak
"The area around High Street Kensington is a bit chain-y, so it’s worth taking a 10-minute walk down to Hjem if you’re after a seriously good cup of coffee. This Danish cafe at Launceston Place is in one the prettiest corners of London. There’s a bench for two out front, but it’s also worth knowing that there’s a tiny and kind of secret patio out back." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
