Food gives us time and space to share ideas and make connections.
Presenting carefully curated culinary experiences featuring as much locally sourced, fresh and seasonal ingredients as possible, your hosts and chefs Michelle and Reidar take you on a food adventure.
Inspired by the wild terrain, the rhythm of the seasons, the catch from local fishermen and the produce of local gardeners, food is the canvas to creatively share both their Newfoundland and Norwegian cultures as well as their many travels and international food experiences.
We are both seasoned cooks and major foodies who love creating new twists on familiar dishes as well as developing upscaled versions of old favourites.
Having collectively travelled to over 120 countries, we're deeply influenced and inspired by the different foods, flavours and presentations we've experienced over the years. Italian cuisine is one of our favourites, so it shows up frequently.
Equally as important as our sense of culinary creativity is our commitment to sustainability. As a result, we source as many ingredients as possible locally and in season.
Our food will take you on an adventure. Each dish has a story and we love sharing those with you.
We look forward to serving you at our table.
Michelle & Reidar
