All in Food & Drink
A winter cigar and whisky tasting at Dr. Jekylls Pub in Oslo, featuring Viaje 2012, Dalmore Cigar Malt, Glen Scotia Double Cask and Cognac Leyrat VSOP
A hidden door, a whispered password, and a midnight drift into Cape Town’s secret nightlife. We found ourselves inside a speakeasy stitched together from jazz-age glamour and industrial grit — the kind of place you don’t stumble into, unless the city decides to let you in.
An unforgettable evening at Hermetikken in Stavanger — where old friendships, sea air and chef Stuart’s quiet brilliance met across a nine-course tasting menu. From oysters with champagne foam to pearl-white halibut and the majestic Beef Wellington, each dish whispered its own story of Norway’s coast and craft.
Opening night at Cordial felt like a celebration in itself. Scallops in creamy mystery sauce, porcini crowned with foie gras, turbot cooked to perfection, and skate in a buttery reduction – sauces so good even Rørossmør didn’t stand a chance.
We went to The Bistrot Marceau in Cannes, tempted by promises of live jazz. No music, but plenty of drama – from a menu that read like Ulysses to a wine debate that nearly stole the show. Beef tartare with pears and Roquefort, entrecôte with pepper sauce, red wine, Guinness, and a late-night twist: four men went out, only three came home.
Last summer (2019) Marcus Samuelsson opened Kitchen & Food Fishery in Oslo. Nina had previously visited his restaurant Red Rooster Harlem in NYC, and we were eager to try out the newcomer in Oslo.
