New York Nordic restaurant, Aquavit, which has been setting the standard for modern Scandinavian cuisine in that city for close to 30 years, comes to London, taking its inspiration from the New York original, but with a more relaxed and informal setting. The menu, overseen by Emma Bengtsson and executed by head chef Henrik Ritzen (formerly of the Dover Street Arts Club, La Petite Maison and Lutyens), changes depending on the seasons of the Nordic region and includes dishes like butter-poached cod with fennel aioli and salt-baked celeriac root and seared duck breast with pickled quince and buckwheat porridge, as well as classic Nordic dishes like toast Skagern - crispy bread with a topping of shrimp and mayonnaise. The design studio of Swedish-born Martin Brudnizki, whose portfolio includes The Ivy, Scott's and Sexy Fish, has overseen the look of the dining room which has a wall-mounted Olafur Eliasson textile as a centrepiece. Every detail - silverware from Georg Jensen, uniforms by Swedish clothing company Filippa K and furnishings by Svensk Tenn - has been carefully chosen to create a relaxed, contemporary Nordic aesthetic.
