Valgerand

On Thursday I joined a dinner event with SwedishLadies, out at Mamsha. I had worked all day, so it suited me really well, just to drive 3 minutes over there after work to have dinner.
We met up at the apartment of one of the ladies for a sundowner before dinner. She had a fantastic corner apartment with the most amazing view all over the Soul Beach. Oaw!

The dinner was organised at the fairly newly opened Nordic restaurant Valgerand. Valgerand is a white beach in Estonia, turns out that the chef was Estonian.

He was so excited to have us there, ha ha! He had prepared a very special set menu for our group, and it was really thought through. A mix of many different Nordic cuisines and traditions. We started with some wine and cheese (not me, as I was driving), and some dips:

For entree, we had three different smørrebrød, a rösti with gravlax, homemade dark rye bread with cured salmon and a white toast with Skagen. Mmm!

The chefs special deviled eggs:

We were all so so full at this stage already, so we were happy to see that he brought us special baby portions of the main course, which of course was - meatballs.

Every course that came brought on huge applause from the ladies, ha ha! For dessert, he made us a 'kladdkaka' (a gooey cake), a super traditional Swedish dessert that everyone has their own version of.

We even got surprised with some 'Ahlgrens bilar', he sure knew how to make us happy!

We had a great evening! They blasted out ABBA on the speakers, and after we had eaten all that food, some of the ladies felt the need to shake it all down and started a bit of a dance party next to our table. I don't think the Valgerand crew really knew what hit them, ha ha! Great fun!
