I love Nordic food, so was excited to try Mikko on a recent trip to Washington. This is a fun restaurant just behind Dupont Circle. There is no indoor seating, but the outdoor space is colorful and fun on a summer evening. We shared their pickled herring small plate, which was truly excellent.

Stopped in for dessert on a recent evening. I sat inside at the counter / bar next to the food prep area (like at a sushi bar). There is also plenty of seating outside, if you'd prefer and if weather permits.
The lingonberry bread pudding was out of this world. The servings of Norwegian Linie Aquav
Cozy place with awesome cocktails!
They do a pretty good happy hour daily 4-7pm.
There food is very interesting… worth giving it a try!
I got the North Star w/o simple syrup
Tasty beet soup & crawfish soup, karjalan piirakka, & open faced sandwiches! Loved the color scheme of the restaurant and moomin characters.
The service was great. The food was good but nothing super standout. I’m not sure we’d return because we didn’t love the cuisine. Still, we enjoyed our experience and it was fun to try new things. Everything could have been seasoned a bit more. The desert was interesting - like a shortbread cookie w
A really charming cafe with delicious Nordic food and nice service. I liked my brunch here, most of the dishes were quite good.
Ham & Cheese Quiche had a very pleasant and delicate flavor. And Smoked Salmon Benedict - delicious as well. There was a lot of hollandaise sauce and delicious salmon, one
Charming patio off the sidewalk. Not too crowded, so the service was really prompt. The chicken schnitzel is filling and delicious, highly recommend. I might come back to do a glass of wine with the mousse to split, it was a decent sized appetizer with lots of little chips.
I had wanted to go to this place for a long time and finally went. It is a good place. The fresh food and the drinks are tasty. Everything was of excellent quality
I had to write a review when I found out about their breakfast. One Sunday morning, I wanted to avoid typical pastries or brunch places, and we walked about an hour in the neighborhood. I was so pleased from the moment I entered its small counter space-- surrounded by exotic snacks and goods, the di
A great mix of Nordic culture and delicious ruokaa (food). Fazer sweets from Suomi (Finland) and great delicacies from Ruotsi (Sweden). If you like Moomins, there's some good merchandise there for it, too.
Mikko’s is one of my family and my favorite restaurants. We have dined-in, take out, and gotten catering for small parties and big holidays. The food and the service is wonderful and our guests are always excited about eating authentic Finnish and Scandinavian cuisine. I highly recommend trying Mikk
Good brunch and excellent prices. Mushroom omlette good. Smoke salmon Benedict good. Good gluten free options and seed bread substitute.
Had a nice peaceful lunch here! Loved the mushroom soup so much! Our server was quick and attentive. Food came out fast and delicious. Would definitely come back again when in the area for another meal.
So nice to be able to eat some authentic Scandinavian cuisine, they had lots of little swedish goodies and it was just an all around neat place.
Our Thursday night pre set dinner was delicious! You had your choice of starter and main then it was followed by desert with wine. The meal was Swedish inspired and when we spoke with Chef Mikko he said he’s thinking of doing a Norwegian one next. Can’t wait to try it!
I found the open faced sandwich & the French toast delicious, fresh, and well made.
Nordic drinks? Tasty snacks? Fun candy store inside? Yes, yes, and yes! I love going to this place for drinks with friends. They have stellar customer service, a cool vibe with lots of outdoor seating, and a drink menu with lots of surprises. Love it!
Went with my colleagues for dinner while staying in Downtown DC. Outdoor seating was great. We ordered the seared salmon and schnitzel . Everything tasted good. Would definitely go back there .
