A cozy East Village Nordic cafe-restaurant with standout pancakes, fish dishes, and smørrebrød; small space, some service inconsistency, but good value for the neighborhood.
Smør delivers reliable Nordic comfort dining with strong food quality anchored by exceptional pancakes and smoked fish, supported by warm Scandinavian design and fair neighborhood pricing. However, inconsistent execution—hit-or-miss salads, bread dryness, and portion variance—prevents grade A territory, while cramped seating and occasional service gaps when busy limit the overall experience. A solid neighborhood favorite for those seeking authentic Nordic flavors without pretension.
One caveat: Service inconsistency at peak times; waitlist or reservation mix-ups occasionally reported
