EKSTEDT AT THE YARD TO CELEBRATE THE SUMMER SOLSTICE WITH MIDSUMMER TASTING MENU
This June, Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt is introducing a Midsummer Menu comprised of dishes honouring the culinary traditions of his native Sweden. Read our interview from 2021 with Niklas here.
The Midsummer Menu will feature six courses that reference renowned Swedish dishes popular at this time of year. Guests, seated on tables adorned with specially-picked Midsummer flowers, will begin with a tray of snacks before sampling S.O.S, or smör, ost och sill – an appetiser loved in Sweden composed of butter, cheese and herring. Beef tartare, horseradish and pickles; and juniper-smoked trout, Jersey royal and sea lettuce will follow, showcasing smoking and pickling techniques; a first dessert of woodruff mousse and sorrel sorbet is representative of Sweden’s love of foraging; while wood-fire oven-baked meringue with summer berries hints at Niklas Ekstedt’s signature fire-led ‘old Nordic’ approach as exemplified throughout Ekstedt at The Yard’s usual tasting menu, which will run concurrently with the Midsummer Menu.
“Midsummer is a time for fun and festivities in Sweden, with family and friends coming together to feast on some of our favourite dishes using the abundance of produce the new season brings,” says Niklas. “We’re bringing a taste of this special time to Ekstedt at The Yard, with a menu representing some of our country’s most loved flavours.”
The six-course Midsummer Menu (£100) at Ekstedt at The Yard will be available from 20th June – 29th July and must be pre-booked.
