Kantine is exactly what it says it is: a Scandinavian canteen. Which, to our American eyes, is a sleek, more elegant, more hip version of an image one might conjure with the word “canteen.” The daytime spot serves up breakfast and lunch, while also functioning as a friendly coffee shop for takeaway drinks and beautiful Danish pastries flakier than your most unreliable friend.

The menu changes daily, but always includes Scandinavian staples like porridge and smørrebrød. But the true gem is in the “build your own brunch” section that lets you choose your own adventure from bread to fish and meat to vegetables and eggs and it all comes out on a beautiful platter reminiscent of an alluring charcuterie board or Japanese breakfast set in composition. Everything in the Certified Green restaurant is sustainably sourced and most of it is made from scratch as a part of chef and owner Nichole Accettola’s commitment. So in short, cute “canteen” with good food and quality ingredients.
