Quotes
”Today, international interest in Nordic gastronomy is huge and there is growing demand for a quality guide to the restaurant experiences in the Nordics – covering not only the capitals, but also the top restaurants in other major cities and in the countryside”, says Mikael Mölstad, editorial manager.
”The news about the vivid restaurant scene in the Nordics has spread far and wide, followed by an increasing wave of tourists. This guide will help them make informed restaurant choices, not only when it comes to the well-known top restaurants but also in finding the lesser known local gems.”, says project manager
Lena Ilkjaer.
