About Café Smörgås

Sanur mornings start early here over robust coffee, scratch-made bread, and a proper dose of Nordic hygge. Opening right at 7:00 AM, the kitchen turns out hearty European platters alongside house-baked cinnamon rolls that skip the cloying sugar for real spice. Regulars drop in after beach walks for The Works breakfast, then return later when the room shifts gears toward traditional Swedish comfort food. Expect savory meatballs coated in cream gravy with tart lingonberry jam, freshly baked kavring topped with gravad lax, and cold craft beers on tap. By night, live music takes over the floor, leading into lively Thursday salsa and bachata sessions paired with bowls of soto ayam.

  • Early European Breakfasts: Opens at 7:00 AM serving strong coffee, generous European breakfast platters, and house-baked cinnamon rolls.
  • Nordic Comfort Classics: Swedish meatballs with lingonberries, house-baked kavring with gravad lax, and a mix of Indonesian favorites.
  • Live Music & Social Nights: Weekly evening entertainment featuring live jazz, acoustic duos, and participatory Thursday salsa socials with instructors.

  • Early European Breakfasts & Strong Coffee

    A European-style cafe full of delights and best coffee I sampled on the Sanur strip. Opens at 7am sharp.

  • Generous Morning Staples & Real Bread

    Mornings are built around substantial portions featuring authentic real bread, crisp bacon, and perfectly prepared fluffy omelettes.

    Friendly staff and a generous breakfast that gives me the best start of my day. Crispy quality bacon, perfectly made omelet, and real bread is hard to find in Bali.

  • Authentic Scandinavian Comfort Foods

    Nordic travelers finding relief from local chili can indulge in traditional comfort foods, from Swedish meatballs with lingonberry jam to fresh-baked cinnamon rolls.

    I am Scandinavian, so I was particularly impressed that both the cinnamon roll and coffee tasted really authentic Scandinavian. That is hard to find in Indonesia.

  • Nordic Hygge & Taste of Home in Sanur

    The cafe transports diners into a cozy Nordic setting complete with house-baked dark kavring, gravad lax, and reassuring touches of home.

    A touch of home for the Scandinavians out here in Bali. Both the Swedish and local dishes are superb!

  • Interactive Thursday Salsa Dance Nights

    Every Thursday night, the dining room transforms into a lively social dance space featuring rotating salsa, bachata, and kizomba with instructors on hand.

    The Thursday salsa nights so much fun! Teachers to dance with you - brilliant!

  • Vibrant Live Music & Community Entertainment

    Evenings bring the community together over dinner and drinks with recurring live acoustic, violin, and vocal performances.

    there was a live band of two (very) talented and joyful women who really entertained the crowd! We were gladly surprised since we were just walking down the street and decided to eat there because of the great live show.

  • Cinnamon Roll

    We also tried the cinnamon roll. It was good, and we especially appreciated that it had plenty of cinnamon without being overly sweet like many others we've had.
