London | Ekstedt at The Yard

A Nordic Feast with a Handsome Chef and Charcoal-Grilled Oysters ✨This is a Nordic dining experience I had around Christmas. After returning from Norway, I couldn't stop thinking about recommending this hidden gem in London—a truly niche Nordic restaurant in the city. ✨This is the first restaurant opened by the multiple-award-winning Michelin-starred chef Ekstedt outside of Stockholm. He incorporates charcoal and open-fire cooking to create his dishes. The atmosphere is perfect for a date, and the service is impeccable. They even invite guests to the kitchen to watch the chef grill oysters live. It's a unique experience! 🦪 ✨I opted for the 9-course tasting menu. The oysters, grilled by the Nordic chef right in front of you, were amazing! The only dish that was a bit on the bitter side was the one with scallops and root vegetables. Everything else was fantastic! The butter in the bread was smoked, which perfectly matched the charcoal theme. Each dish was beautifully presented and delicious, especially the dessert! 🍮 I loved it so much that I can't stop thinking about it! ✨The service was outstanding, with detailed explanations of the inspiration behind each dish. The location, inside the Great Scotland Yard Hotel, is also fantastic. 💰 Price: £120 per person #food #LondonFood #RestaurantReview #CharcoalGrilled #NordicRestaurant #LondonRestaurants #Delicious #RestaurantRecommendation #Foodie
