About Swedish Tarts

Tucked into a converted Nile Street cottage, this Glenelg hideaway trades Jetty Road foot traffic for quiet courtyard garden tables and Nordic baking. Morning regulars drop in for proper fika over piccolos and spiced Swedish buns, or settle into the back rooms with a bowl of Tomtegröt rice pudding and berries. The kitchen turns out savoury staples like chorizo breakfast plates, salmon quiche, and Swedish meatballs, backed by a pastry counter stocked with rhubarb marzipan tarts and chocolate slices.

  • Nordic Comfort Classics: Warm bowls of Tomtegröt rice pudding, Swedish meatballs, spiced buns, and rhubarb marzipan tarts baked fresh.
  • Quiet Side-Street Setting: Set inside an older converted house on Nile Street with leafy outdoor garden seating away from Jetty Road crowds.
  • Dog-Friendly Neighbourhood Hub: Casual morning catch-ups with indoor nooks, garden spaces, and a welcoming pet-friendly policy.
