BJÖRK CAFE & BISTRO
Join us for Nordic dining at Björk Cafe & Bistro at Scandinavia House! Located on our ground-floor space and operated by renowned chef Ulrika Bengtsson and Sabina Lindmark, Björk (meaning “birch” in Swedish) features beloved Scandinavian classics, American favorites with a Nordic twist, and seasonal favorites, in an updated design reimagined with the help of Swedish designers Åsa Bollvik and Lotta Meynell (founders, Ateljé Nordöst).
Björk has been profiled in the NYTimes “Off the Menu” section and featured in the New Yorker, which praises its wide array of Nordic dishes and states that “a good personality doesn’t necessarily translate into good food…but at Björk it feels like the secret ingredient.”
Now featuring its own Low ABV Aquavit!
