Ikea has opened its first Swedish restaurant in Hammersmith, next to its recently revamped Ikea Hammersmith city store.

The menu includes eight meatballs served with mashed potatoes, peas, cream sauce and lingonberry jam, eight plant balls served with mashed potatoes, peas, cream sauce and lingonberry jam, Children’s Pasta and Tomato Sauce, including a soft drink and a piece of fruit, Penne pasta served with a delicious tomato and basil sauce, Fish and Chips, battered haddock served with chips and peas and Salmon with Couscous and Yogurt.
The new site will also serve breakfast options such as Small Cooked Breakfast, a six piece cooked breakfast which includes bacon, sausage, hash brown, omelette, baked beans and tomato, and a Regular Cooked Breakfast, a nine piece cooked breakfast which includes two slices of bacon, two sausages, two hash browns, omelette, baked beans and a tomato.
To celebrate the opening, Ikea Hammersmith is offering IKEA Family Members £5 off in store when spending £5 at Ikea Hammersmith Restaurant on the same day, until the end of November.
Matthew Gould, market manager at Ikea London City, said: “We know how much our customers love the IKEA restaurant and we’re excited to celebrate the opening of our very first high street restaurant.
“Fans of our delicious dishes can recharge during their shopping trip with our famous Swedish meatballs, pop in for a traditional Swedish ‘fika’ break for coffee and a sweet treat, or find an affordable meal for the kids right on the high street.”
