Highlighting Our Hand-Curated Wine Selection

At Ekte, the journey doesn't stop at the food. No Nordic dining experience would be complete without a glass of superb wine, and at Ekte, our curated wine selection is no afterthought. We've handpicked a diverse range of bottles from established vineyards and innovative producers around the world, each chosen to complement the unique flavors and textures of our Nordic dishes.

Whether you're tucking into our hearty meatballs or savoring our delicate house-cured salmon, we have a wine that pairs perfectly. From the citrusy and floral notes of our white wines, perfect for light seafood dishes, to the bold and full-bodied reds, which stand up to our heartier meat dishes, our wine list is as much a journey through the vineyards as our menu is a tour of Nordic cuisine. So pull up a chair, raise a glass, and join us for a culinary adventure that's a feast for all the senses.
