The Ekte Bar Experience: A Journey into Nordic Spirits


At Ekte, the magic isn't confined just to your plate. We've brought a bit of the Nordic chill to our drinks menu too! Make way for our Aquavits and Schnapps - the jewels of Nordic distilleries. Whether you're clinking glasses to celebrate or raising a toast to good times, you'll find a spirit here that fits the occasion. Our Aquavits - the 'water of life' - run the gamut from dill or caraway flavored to those aged in oak barrels.


Each sip is a dance of unique flavors, leaving a warming sensation that perfectly complements the Nordic chill. And then, there’s the Schnapps. Ah, the good old Schnapps! Traditionally downed in one go during celebratory toasts, our selection of Schnapps introduces you to an array of flavors from sweet and fruity to spicy and dry.


So, come on over, pull up a seat at our bar, and let's warm up the Nordic way. You'll find these distinctly Nordic spirits are more than just drinks - they're a saga of our rich cultural heritage, served in a glass. Cheers to that!

Roasted to perfection and spiced with a tantalizing curry blend, it's a heady mix of texture, taste, and comfort in every bite.


Or how about the Beetroot, Whipped Goat' Cheese & Hazelnut Salad? This vibrant dish is a celebration of earthy beetroot, creamy goats' cheese, and crunchy hazelnuts. It's a medley of flavors and textures bound to tantalize the taste buds, making it a must-try for any vegetarian food lover.


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.
