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.

    It was an amazing afternoon at the location, celebrating our anniversary. Five stars all around, the team who were working were amazing, thank you. We will be back, the food was excellent, we had the pate and short rib. I wish we had room for dessert; next time for sure!!

    Extremely expensive for what it was. £4 for literally half a slice of bread is ridiculous

    You can really taste and smell the difference open fire makes. The portions were large too. Better taking 1 main each than to share a big main. Coal torched desserts taste good.

    We enjoyed the set menu, one of our guests does not eat fish or shellfish and the kitchen made changes to accommodate. The restaurant is very cosy and welcoming, the staff are very knowledgeable about the menu and recommending accompanying wine.
