Scandinavian Cuisine Festival

From November 15 to 24, SheLESt restaurant will participate for the first time in the Scandinavian Cuisine Not only Cod festival, which this year is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Manifesto of the New Scandinavian Cuisine.

On November 17, 2004, 12 leading chefs from the Nordic countries signed a ten-point Manifesto at the NOMA restaurant in Copenhagen. In fact, this date became the birthday of the new gastronomic trend New Nordic Cuisine, which went beyond Scandinavia and spread around the world.Here are just some points of this Manifesto that restaurants and chefs participating in the festival should adhere to:

 
- Combine delicious food with modern knowledge about a healthy lifestyle and well-being.

- To express the purity, freshness and simplicity that we want to associate with our region.

- Use ingredients and products whose characteristics are particularly different in our climate, landscape and waters.

- To promote humane treatment of nature and eco-friendly food production in our seas, forests and farms.

The festival is attended by 20 restaurants (in honor of the anniversary) from 12 cities (the number of chefs-"gastroapostols" who signed the Manifesto). The geography of the Festival has also expanded: from Kaliningrad to Magadan (a distance of more than 11300 km)

The brand chef of our restaurant has developed a special festival set:

1st year
Slices of beetroot baked in a Russian oven, greased with smoked butter and seasoned with Thursday salt, are complemented with sour cream and horseradish sauce, tapioca marinated in raspberries and apple cider vinegar, fir oil and buckwheat popcorn.

2nd year
Tartare from Denver with smoked paprika and pickled red onion, covered with Borodino bread crumbs with pickled cranberries, adjika and mayonnaise "Borodino bread";

3rd year
Dry-aged chicken thigh fried in butter with fried onion cream with miso paste and lemon, kvass sauce and chicken demiglas cooked in the oven

4th year
Beetroot cupcake with cream of boiled condensed milk and pickled black currant

For the set, we will offer you to order a special cocktail, also designed specifically for the festival and inspired by the north.

Scandinavian Forester is a real taste of the northern forest in your glass. This cocktail combines the rich aroma of fir needles, the astringency of vodka infused with cranberries and the light sweetness of stewed cones. Balanced lemon juice adds a refreshing sourness, emphasizing the natural forest notes. Each drop transports you to the atmosphere of a cool northern morning, when the forest wakes up from the fog. An ideal choice for those who want to experience the freshness of the Scandinavian open spaces and the taste of the wild nature.

The cost of a 4–course set per guest is 2,500 rubles

The cost of a cocktail is 650 rubles
