Scandinavian Countries are full of “good taste”: all the Michelin starred restaurants according to the MICHELIN guide Nordic Countries 2017

MICHELIN guide Nordic Countries 2017, which lists a total of 274 restaurants located in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and, for the first time, Iceland and the Faroe Islands is for sure a great landmark for gourmet-lovers and good-food-addicted.

We are particularly pleased to develop our selection into the outer regions of the Nordic Countries and to continue our expansion with the inclusion of Iceland and the Faroe Islands” commented Michael Ellis, International Director of the MICHELIN guides. “Our inspectors were pleased to discover the quality of Reykjavik’s culinary scene and to award Dill the very first Star for Island. They were also impressed with the chef’s use of indigenous ingredients and traditional techniques like smoking and salting at KOKS in the newly listed Faroe Islands, which also reveives a MICHELIN Star

2017 guide also features two new Two Star restaurants: Vollmers in Malmö, Sweden and Henne Kirkeby Kro in Henne, Denmark. Rebecca Burr, editor of the MICHELIN guide Nordic Countries 2017 said, “We are thrilled to award two new Two Stars in the 2017 MICHELIN guide. The eponymous Mats Vollmer serves superbly innovative, modern food at his charming Malmö restaurant, while at destination restaurant, Henne Kirkeby Kro, Paul Cunningham cooks sublimely flavoured, classically based dishes which celebrate the surrounding farmland.”

Michelin also presents the list of restaurants that have received a Bib Gourmand, an award given by the inspectors to establishments offering good quality, good value cooking. This award, which is experiencing growing success worldwide, is popular with restaurateurs and the general public because it rewards well-made, local, and inexpensive cuisine. In 2017 it has been newly awarded to Anarki in Copenhagen, Matur og Drykkur in Reykjavik, and Cirkus at More Bistro and Namu in Malmö. This brings the total number of restaurants awarded a Bib Gourmand for 2017 to 33.

The MICHELIN guide Nordic Countries 2017 is available also on Amazon and in my opinion is really a cool gift!
