Alle har vel fått med seg denne nyheten? Tre uformelle karer som etablerer seg på kommersielle Aker Brygge! Restauranten har tre konsepter under samme tak; Hekla, Vågen og Takterassen. Jeg spiste på “Hekla” som er a la carte sharing menyen de har ute på Brygga og inne i restauranten.

Jeg hadde høye forventninger ettersom jeg er fan av både Katla og Jimmy’s! Noe av det første jeg tenkte var at prisen var svært høy! Men forståelig nok! Store lokaler, prima plassering i tillegg til en stor uteservering, de går nok ikke i pluss med det første!

Menyen på “Hekla” er helt klart Katla-inspirert - retter med smaker fra Asia, Mexico og midtøsten. Samt noen enkle retter som caesar salat, vongole pasta og fish n chips, klassiske retter du vil finne på Brygga.

Kamskjellen var perfekt stekt med medium kjerne, og ble servert med tynne strimler av stekt kål og koriander, på en kremet red curry saus med mye kick! Det var veldig hyggelig å bli overrasket med en kongekrabbe-bein blant alle krabbeklørne. Krabben var allerede halvveis knust, men du må fortsatt dele det opp. Peppersausen var nydelig! Klissent med masse pepper! Pork belly var fantastisk godt, sprø svor og saftig kjøtt, ble servert med ferske urter og hele thai chilis! Uformelt og veldig i streetfood-stil!

Neste gang skal jeg prøve menyen de serverer på “Vågen” en sjømatmeny på 5 serveringer til 995 kroner!

“@mae_restaurant is marvellous,” we couldn’t conjure up a more simple and spot on sentence to surmise what @grainneokeefe @julien_chaig and team are doing as the concluding line of this week’s @sundaytimesireland restaurant review…

We write about predicting a star to be bestowed upon this Ballsbridge fine dining bistro for the last number of years that never seemed to transpire but we’re not even sure Michelin recognition is even the goal or gauntlet here — this entirely unique couple of square metres can barely be compared to anything else and is really only judged against itself

Four years in it feels like Mae has properly reclined and relaxed into this minuscule space it calls home and we find a fairly faultless menu and an accessibly-priced wine pairing when we chanced a last minute Saturday evening table recently

Through the course of two decades it was home to Tommy’s Cuisine - now this Warehouse District space is the new
@lemoynebistronola .

It feels emphatically French and I’m here for that.

It’s the latest from partners behind @plates.nola .

Last year they made a double play, taking over the former Tommy’s and also the lounge next door. That lounge is now @mariasoysterbar . It still connects to the bistro, and its network of private dining rooms.

An early look at the bistro shows a gratifyingly French profile in the menu, wine list and the gorgeous cocktails.

Here’s:

Tuna Nicoise, more entree than salad

Tartare with sunchoke chips

Onion soup rich with tallow

Beef short rib carbonnade (think beef bourguignon from the land of beer rather than wine country)

And from the cocktail list, Yellow with gin and Suze, and the agave en fleur, which wraps tequila in a smooth, aromatic cloak.

A true hidden gem and easily one of the most underrated spots in the city — @octo.nyc.

Ever since @jiho_kim_pastry introduced me to Octo in late 2023, it’s been my go-to for bringing chefs, out-of-town friends, and anyone who loves bold, flavor-packed Korean-Chinese food.

Chef Leon has crafted a menu full of standouts—dishes that have become instant staples—while still pushing boundaries with new creations inspired by his upbringing in South Korea.

If you haven’t been, this spot needs to be on your list. My must-orders: truffle steak jjangmyeon, Peking duck (regular or black truffle), cucumber radish salad, crispy shrimp sandwich, and glazed orange king prawns. Every dish is a hit!

Swipe to see more from my past visits—so much deliciousness!
