Lilla Dalarna

Run by a chef who spent 15 years working in Northern Europe, Lilla Dalarna offers a rare opportunity to sample the cuisine – and conviviality – of Scandinavia in Tokyo. With space for just two dozen people, this homely restaurant can be a real squeeze, and the lunchtime queue often snakes out of the door. Highlights on the menu include meatballs in cream sauce, Norwegian salmon meunière and chicken and aubergine gratin, with reasonably priced lunch sets (¥900-¥1,300) also available.
