Födelsedagsmiddag för Fredrik i fredags på Michelin-restaurangen Nour. Kärleken till maten och matchningen av dryckespaketen är magiska som alltid på dessa lyxrestauranger. Bra service, avspänd trevlig lokal. 15-talet plaster. Tre trappor upp i samma hus som Nosh and Chow, Norrlandsgatan 24. Finns 5- och 9-rätters fast meny att välja på. Vi valde 9-rätters. Med diverse småsnacks till så landade det i totalt 20-talet serveringar. 🤩 Ja det är väldigt dyrt att gå på dessa lyxrestauranger, men vad gör man inte när bästa polaren fyller år. 🥳

21 dishes, 11 glasses and 182 pictures later, I'm in restaurant heaven.
My dear boyfriend booked me for a surprise dinner and my expectations were for a good but "regular" restaurant. As soon as we walk inside the doors on Norrlandsgatan 24 I understand that we are going to Nour, happiness!
We take the elevator up to the fourth floor where we are met by one of the staff who greets us and takes our coats. We are seated at, in my opinion, the best table in the entire restaurant. We drink champagne and cocktails and don't hesitate for a second when we choose the large menu with the accompanying beverage package.
No, but everything was so good and nice! And the service was just as it should be at a Michelin-starred restaurant, absolutely damn perfect. Every time you visit the toilet, the toilet paper is folded, they pull out the chair, hook to the bag etc etc. Everything is incredibly professional, but also personal. For example, the staff had picked up that my boyfriend is from Gotland and pointed this out when we were served Gotland truffles. Its all in the details.
What about the food? Right up my alley. Scandinavia meets Japan. SO much flavors, textures, smells, servings, porcelain - yes everything was perfect. We have to start with a mushroom tea/broth that was like the warmest cream. Then the snack train continues - open spring roll with xo sauce, hamachi and bleak roe, a radish roll with Norwegian raw shrimp, smoked cream and caviar, a quail egg marinated in coffee and soy sauce that looked like something from another pkanet with a steak tartare underneath and finally a silken tofu with white kimchi bathed in dashi and wasabi.
Here I could have gone home and been satisfied. After this we ate everything from hamachi with kohlrabi, oysters with rossini caviar and spirit peas, okonomiyaki with Gotland truffles, octopus noodles, quail with lavender and, the sickest delicious dish ever. A very lightly fried milk bun that was filled to the brim with bleak roe that you would dip in some sick homemade crème fraiche story. Never seen so much vendace roe, it just spilled out. The menu contains a lot of fish and poultry and can absolutely be enjoyed to the fullest by a pescetarian.
Dessert time! Shaved ice that tasted like rum and cola, caramelized almond cake with pears, matche te sandwhich ice cream, "semla" almond cakes, mochi, etc.
DRINK! Cocktails, champagne, sake, Scanian vodka, wine, beer, plum liqueur - what didn't we drink? No wonder the headache was there this morning. Some of the wines were the best I've ever had, it's not often you get teary-eyed during a dinner, and yesterday it didn't just happen once. A Riesling 2015 from the Moselle, a Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast. Straight to the heart.
Thank you Nour for a 10/10 evening! <3

Nour is a real experience. The food is good. The staff is nice and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is relaxing and there is a fantastic flow during the sitting.
En helt fantastisk upplevelse. Jag har svårt att finna ord för att beskriva hur smaker kan mötas och utvecklas och landa på så perfekta sätt. Allt är genomtänkt, temperaturer, konsistenser, utseendet. Så nära fulländning som kan komma. Mitt klart bästa restaurangbesök på många många år. Wow!

There are two tasting menus, medium and much. The dining experience starts already in anticipation of the table - to drinks come delicious flavors that are served continuously for 10-15 minutes. We chose the mid-menu that was served for 60-70 minutes and was consistently delicious with unexpected flavor combinations, a bit like a combined piece of music with different themes. Each dish itself was small but we went full and happy from Nour. The ingredients for the food were simple but in the hands of an innovative chef, the flavors explode in the mouth. As a hobby chef you can sometimes ask yourself why you should go to the pub, pay a lot and then it tastes good liiiite better than when you fix yourself. The food at Nour is fantastic and requires professionals in the kitchen. A visit is therefore a must for every food enthusiast. Suggestions for improvement: It was initially a bit confusing. There was no menu and it took some time before we understood the set-up. It is perhaps thought that you should just be swept along in a great experience and then happy pay the bill but my finances require me to want a little more transparency. Since the menu is a bit unknown, it was difficult to choose drinks before entering the table. Once at the table there was a very knowledgeable waiter who gave very good guidance. In short, it is a great dining experience that is very affordable!
