Café Smörgås, Sanur – Swedish comfort on Bali time
Scandi café on Sanur’s main strip
On busy Jl. Danau Tamblingan No.56, Café Smörgås feels part European café, part relaxed Bali hangout. It’s a long‑running spot in Sanur where Swedish comfort food meets local hospitality, open daily from 07h00 to 22h30 (certaines sources indiquent jusqu'à 23h00).
Inside, guests describe it as clean, spacious and cool, with comfy chairs and greenery screening the traffic outside (Google 2024). The vibe runs “cosy, familial et détendu”, with a loyal mix of expatriés et touristes.
Wraps, smörgås and Swedish salmon
La carte tourne autour de wraps, salades, sandwiches, cakes, jus sains, café et vin. Swedish classics stand out: reviewers rave about the Swedish meatballs, gravlax‑style salmon and generous open‑faced smörgås tartines.
Several guests single out the grilled salmon with hollandaise as a highlight, calling it crispy, flavourful and matched with creamy, buttery sauce plus sweet potato fries. Others mention you can “eat incredibly well” whether you choose Indonesian dishes or the “wonderfully fresh Swedish salmon” (Google 2024).
Breakfast to wagyu burgers
From 07h00, it doubles as a breakfast café: French toast “like a bread pancake”, mushroom omelettes described as fluffy and flavourful, fresh juices like Berry Me Too, and cappuccinos that people happily finish to the last drop (Google 2024).
Later in the day, the menu shifts to things like club house sandwiches one guest calls “epic”, and a wagyu burger another labels “amazing”. Portions tend to be generous, with a “robust menu” that makes repeat visits easy.
Healthy choices and house baking
The market report notes a focus on “options sans gluten et saines”, alongside maison bakery items such as fresh bread and cinnamon rolls. Prices land well above local warungs, around 100k – 200k IDR par personne, but are often judged “very reasonable” for the quality and imported specialities.
Fresh juices and “jus sehat” appear often in feedback, with one group “trying a bunch of drinks, all of them fresh and tasty”. Coffee and wine round out the drinks list.
Service, Bali pace and atmosphere
Service is generally described as warm and smiling; staff like Juni and Julianna earn personal shout‑outs for being “super sweet”. One reviewer, however, found the staff “pretty rude” and their burger under‑seasoned, and the market report notes occasional slow service at peak times – classic “Bali time”.
Décor is more classique than ultra‑design, which some may find less trendy than newer cafés on Jl. Danau Tamblingan, but its nearly 20‑year run signals stability.
Who will like Café Smörgås
Café Smörgås suits travellers and residents craving reliable, slightly pricier comfort food with a Swedish twist, served all day in a relaxed Sanur setting rather than a hyper‑Instagram café.
