Faroes and Away: Koks Restaurant and Its New Nordic Kitchen

Posted on 2014-08-18 by tikichris

One especially delicious ‘just go’ reason to visit the Faroe Islands is the opportunity to dine at Koks restaurant. Located at Hotel Foroyar with sweeping views over the town of Torshavn and across the bay to the island of Nolsoy, the restaurant features haute cuisine dishes “designed to delight guests with the essence of Faroese culinary heritage” using ingredients almost exclusively sourced locally. For English speakers, the restaurant’s name might sound a bit unappetising, but don’t let that put you off … or expect anything salacious. It simply means “cooks” and is apt enough given the magic done there. Continue reading →

Posted on 2013-12-20 by tikichris

Here’s a quick mention about a fun cookery session I recently sat in on at rather swank cooking school, Aveqia.

Enjoy a Swedish Christmas Plate at Fika, Brick Lane

Posted on 2013-11-17 by tikichris

It had been a few years since my last visit to Fika Bar & Restaurant before my dinner there last week. The cosy little Scandi eatery at the top of Brick Lane seems to be as popular with the hipster set and as Swedish as it ever was. Never been to Fika or, like me, haven’t been in quite some time? With Xmas on the way and a special Jutallrik menu to celebrate the festive season, now’s a topical time to visit. Continue reading →
