Fika Manly

Best Known For

Swedish meatballs, with mash, gravy, lingonberry jam and pickled cucumber.

Take a break for coffee and a bite to eat at Fika Swedish Kitchen on Market Lane in Manly. With a name literally meaning a ‘coffee break’ in Swedish, make up for lost time at this bright and breezy café, which rocks a neon yellow and white theme, with art deco posters on the wall, glowing Edison lighting and shelves stocked with interesting products. Team a freshly baked cinnamon bun with a coffee of choice as you catch up with family and friends, enjoy a housemade cheese bun with horseradish and stacks of gravlax; or delve into larger plates like Peter Pan – Swedish hash, chopped root vegetables, meatballs, egg and pickles. Vegetarians will salivate over sautéed forest mushrooms, kale, Jarlsberg cheese, pine nuts, shallot crumb and poached eggs on sourdough; enjoyed with a Swedish beer.
