Scandinavian
20 Old Brompton Road, London SW7 3DL
Latest critic review: June 17, 2009
Scandinavian dining in South Kensington
As a Scandinavian restaurant, Madsen certainly has precious little in the way of competitors for its style of cuisine in London. The home cooking style, pared-down menu and innovative touches such as Smorgasbord on Sundays might well see it succeed.
