Lunch on the square
Birch & Surkaj is an everyday café and restaurant, a place you can use on the spur of the moment. Drop in on your way to or from work, meet friends and colleagues after hours, or sit down with a good cup of barista coffee and a proper meal. We are not trying to run a hushed dining room, but a place with life and joy in it, down to earth, where we take pride in the craft.
