Scandinavian Kitchen, Fitzrovia

In search of a less-obvious mother's day present, I decided to go visit the Scandinavian Kitchen, which resides on the backstreets of Oxford Street. Far away from the rushing crowds of tourists, there are so many beautiful little shops and restaurants that sadly are often overlooked by those on the main high street.

This lovely little grocery shop and cafe is one of them. Stocking classic Scandinavian foods, from fish to salty liquorice sweets, its the perfect place for homesick natives, or those looking for a unique and authentic culinary experience.

After choosing a gift to take home this weekend, I couldn't help picking up a couple of delicious looking cinnamon rolls too. The cafe has a good selection of pastries, as well as open sandwiches and salads.
