As we moved to the main dining room at @iristherestaurant, the menu continued its exploration into the ecosystem of the ocean with the use of oysters, scallops, and cuttlefish for the first two dishes. The restaurant has chosen not to use beef but instead opted for wild game and bird which have significantly lower CO₂ in order to meet the challenge of global warming. For the meat courses, we were served a tartar of grilled raw venison and a twist on Peking Duck with nordic ingredients, flavors, and techniques. Finally the desserts were a showcase of the nature in Norway - a fitting tribute to the beautiful mountain views that can be seen from the dining room.
