The menu
For dinner, Stefan designed a five-course menu (R$ 250 per person, with drinks and service separately) that highlights the traditions of the Scandinavian country, which is based on smoking and curing and whose main ingredients are tubers. , seasonal fruits, wild mushrooms, game meat and fish.
Appetizers include cured fish tostada, open-faced shrimp sandwich, salmon and dill soup and even homemade aquavit, a traditional Scandinavian distillate.

Two cocktails were also created for the night: the Dirty Beet, which features vodka with beetroot, gin, dry vermouth and honey vinegar; and Essências da Horta, with gin, green apple, lavender syrup and lemongrass.
15 years of Dalva and Dito
