A great scandinavian store in Portland Maine. They have an extensive collection of items from all the scandinavian countries, and the owners are fantastic. http://www.aquavit.org
Aquavit restaurant site, New York and Minneapolis. Review in Time Magazine for the New York restuarant. "The entrance to this restuarant in a Renaissance-style townhouse is a few steps below the sidewalk and marked only with a a small sign that is easy to miss. Once inside, it sheds its modesty.
When making your reservations, ask for a table in teh strium, a space that soar up eight floors. Along one all is a gentle 20 ft. waterfall. Mobiles that suggest flying kites hang from the ceiling. A good conversation starter: Nelson Rockefeller owned the town house and it was here in 1979 that he suffered a fatal heart attack in the arms of his mistress.
Acuavit's fare, primarily seafood and game, is Scandinavian, but he preparation and presentation are distinctively Chef March Samuelsson's, acquired on a career journey that has carried him to Paris and through Latin America. Many dishes are served on a block of translucent glass that looks like ice. One is tuna accompanied by horseradish sorbey, colder and more crystalline than the traditional horseradish in cream. Among out other favotires were a soup of sea urchin, seared foie gras and watermelon and hot smoked artic char with octopus, mushroom, buckwheat ragout and duck consomme.
The three course prix fixe dinner costs $68. The list offeres several dozen good wines for less than $60. Aquavit is open daily for lunch and dinner. A jacket is required for the atrium, the cafe is more casual." |
