There is something special about the forest in autumn.
The air becomes cooler, the leaves change color
and the scent of damp forest floor, mushrooms, juniper, and leaves tells us that a new season has arrived.
It is also the time when some of the finest ingredients from Norwegian nature find their way to the kitchen.
On October 10, we invite you to a Game Evening at Fredriksten Hotell
– a five-course tribute to autumn, the forest, and the ingredients it gives us.
Game has long traditions in Norwegian food culture.
The meat is naturally lean, yet rich in flavor,
and carries with it some of the character from the nature where the animals live.
Deer and other game thrive particularly well together with autumn’s own flavors
– mushrooms, root vegetables, berries, herbs, and juniper.
This evening, we let these very flavors meet.
Several of the ingredients come from farms and areas in our own region.
This gives us a menu with a clear connection between
the place, nature, and the food on the plate.
-but first we start with a small glass of bubbles.
Tonight’s five-course menu
Crispy goose croquette
Goose from Taraldrud Farm, slow-cooked and shaped into a golden croquette.
Served with creamy mayonnaise made from fresh eggs from Sørlie Farm
