Aquavit, nordic cuisine
Todelooooo!
One day me and my dear husband decided to go wild and crazy and actually went to check out a scandinavian restaurant in the middle of Manhattan :)
It has one michelin star and we learnt that the restaurant "transforms Nordic cuisine with extraordinary care".
The interior was very scandinavian with modern pieces combined with more rustic elements.
Beautiful and with a very clean and pure scandinavian style.
We had an 8 course tasting menu of modern Nordic selections and in came one after another of beautifully presented dishes with a hint of a traditional flavour...
...like sardines and elderberries,,,
Unfortunately that was more or less what i remember because the rest was too complicated to keep in mind...
and very difficult to take a picture of...
...scottish langoustine and sea urchin ( i think it was...)
,,,lamb and sweet potatoes,,,
Well at least you get a hint of how it was presented even though I have no idea what is was :(
To be honest we both thought it all tasted more or less the same and was too advanded compositions for our simple taste. Do not misunderstand it was all very good but I prefer more pure and genuine cooking so all this weird ingredients combined together was a lttle wasted on us despite the scandinavian base.
My takeaway was the fantastic presentation, the little farewell gift:
So nice and very much appreciated, a :kladdkaka" , mumsfillibabba!
And of course the interior and familiar athmosphere.
(Not to mention the efficient and fast service.)
Hmmm anybody who wants to go scandinavian after my attempt to write a review...?
Personally i am going Italian and make a traditional spagetthi carbonara ...
ciao ciao
