Well-known chef Niklas Ekstedt has created a kitchen in which food is prepared using the original methods over an open flame. The superb quality and artisanal excellence are familiar from Ekstedt’s other restaurants, along with awareness of the sources of the ingredients and elements of Scandinavian cuisine.
One Michelin Star: High quality cooking It’s all about fire at this cosy, pared-back restaurant, so expect smoky flavours and caramelisation – reserve a seat at the counter to experience the heat of the wood-burning oven, fire pit and chargrill.
Every corner of this space has been meticulously crafted to showcase the timeless elegance of wood. From the rich, honey-toned wooden floors that ground the room to the stunning timber beams that stretch gracefully overhead, it’s a symphony of nature’s finest materials.
Everything at Ekstedt is cooked old style using only heat from wooden fire. No gas burners or electric cookers just birch wood, fire, smoke and ashes.
Primary culinary canvases unfold through the artistry of cast iron pans, the poetry of wood-fired ovens, the delicate choreography of smoking, and the enchantment of hay-infused burning.
Swerving trend in favour of tradition, Chef Niklas’ back-to-basics style of cooking uses fire to elevate a seasonally driven menu. Evolving the New Nordic canon, nuanced flavour is developed from varying Scandinavian woods, charcoal, smoke, ash and soot.
The wine menu is a canvas of flavors, a palette of aromas, and a mosaic of textures. It’s a journey through time and terroir, an invitation to explore the nuanced world of viticulture and oenology.
Ekstedt has taken Nordic cooking to another dimension by focusing on the cooking technique and not the ingredients.
The dessert selection is a symphony of sweet sensations, a gallery of confectionery marvels that beckon you to surrender to the allure of decadence. Each creation is a labor of love, born from the imagination of our talented pastry chefs who craft with precision and passion.
