Danish restaurant

Please bring back the smorrebrod lunch menu. We come here regularly for lunch. Yesterday we were greeted by a new lunch menu. I am still not exactly sure what we had but it was not enjoyable. One dish was four whole radishes, stem and all, on a plate. Like they had been plucked straight out of the ground.

Great food, big portions and reasonably priced. Perfect before a gig at Manchester Academy

Really fantastic food, the nicest club sandwich I’ve ever had (I’ve come back for it twice) which is mostly what grants this place a good review. the location is nice and the outside area is well appreciated during summer. Only pointers is that customer service is often lacking in my experience, and the price is a little high for a university location. Okay selection of draught but could be better. another cider would be nice, even a different lager. Great varied menu with good veggie options. Overall, food just really great

Only popped in briefly to meet up with friends before a gig.But good range of drinks, readoble prices. Plenty of seating inside and out the back. Outside seating is covered but not all heated.When we have more time would have a longer visit and have food. As from seeing what others had looked good.

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.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ekte, and my overall experience was delightful. The service was exceptionally prompt. Although they had run out of the Ekte lager I initially desired, the alternative option, the freebird larger, had a pleasing flavor.The restaurant's ambiance was quite appealing, with well-executed lighting and a touch of modernity in the decor. The staff was attentive, ensuring our water glasses remained filled and contributing to a comfortable dining atmosphere.Now, onto the food, which was truly amazing. The salmon Smørrebrød I ordered was delectable, with no issues whatsoever. While it was slightly dry, a sauce such as dill or cream would have added another delightful flavor element to complement the freshness of the salmon.The curried herring Smørrebrød was a delightful surprise, boasting well-balanced and flavorful components that left a lasting impression. The perfectly cooked egg on top was a delightful addition. As for the beef Smørrebrød, it had a wonderful flavor with a pronounced Dijon mustard taste. Despite its boldness, it remained thoroughly enjoyable. I also had the pleasure of trying the dill Akvavit, which was a tasty and full-bodied accompaniment to the smørrebrød.Overall, Ekte offers a pleasant atmosphere, prompt service, and outstanding food. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience, and I intend to return soon. The only minor concern I had was the price, as the lunch totaled £51, which leans towards the pricier side. Nonetheless, it was still a worthwhile dining experience.

Good beer, good food, nice seating option outside, inside seating is nice and cozy as well .. a shot of Akvavit reminding of Nordic country visits in the past ….

I really like the food (maybe the plates are a little bit small) yet everything delicious. The staff is super kind. Totally recommended, particularly good for the area.

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.
