SYDNEY | Through a doorway on Pitt Street and beyond a dark corridor is Norsk Dor, a rustic, foliage laden Nordic eatery with a formidable food offering. In the kitchen is chef Damien Ruggiero, who returned to Sydney after a 5 year residence in Sweden, inspired by the the wholesome and humble Nordic style of dining. At Norsk Dor, he incorporates the freshest ingredients with floral flavours and spice to create an authentic experience with modern twists.
When we visited we tried as much from the menu as we could. From charcuterie starters, gravlax and bone marrow, to venison with celeriac purée (meat and three veg, revamped and delicious) and Salmon sourced from the waters of Northern NZ paired with fennel and dill, everything hit the spot. The Norsk Dor dining experience emulates a walk through a Scandinavian forest – primal and refined, combined with the warmth of casual hospitality.
Even if you’re not up for a huge meal, the restaurant bar is well set up to accommodate a drink or few. Bar manager Alex Rogerson has crafted a menu with some tasty tweaks on the classics that involve robust floral and spirit combinations, such as lavender with vodka, and gin with dill and pickle. A shot of the house made botanical vodka concoction, Akvavit, is the perfect way to wash down your plate of bone marrow and rye.
The menu at Norsk Dor is available as a la carte or a set ‘Journey’ which comes with wine recommendations at $58 a head.
