Fika Swedish Kitchen, Sydney

At this small Manly café, Scandinavian staples fuse with Aussie beach classics, spawning a menu rich in seeds, rye and cured fish. Pair your eggs with cod roe and crispbread, herbed herring and rye or cured salmon and horseradish. Or head straight for the toast Skagen, a local legend with prawns, dill, lemon and mayonnaise piled high on sourdough.
