A warm welcome to Ekstedt at The Yard, located inside Great Scotland Yard Hotel.

Our flagship restaurant brings Michelin starred chef Niklas Ekstedt's signature style of wood fired ‘old Nordic’ cooking to the UK for the very first time. Ekstedt at The Yard focuses on Scandinavian cooking techniques using the very best seasonal British ingredients, featuring a menu of signature dishes, alongside an inventive cocktail menu and extensive wine list. The open kitchen, which feels like an extension of the restaurant floor, allows diners to sit at the heart of the action.

What a fantastic experience, beautiful location and a fun, immersive evening. I wouldn’t want to give away any details as that would spoil the evening but, if the Michelin style and taster menus are your thing, you won’t be disappointed.

A little disappointed. Vegetables dry & shrivelled. The meringue in one of the desserts was heavy & sticky rather than the expected light & fluffy. Main beef was great.
