Absolutely outstanding. Possibly one of the best meals I have ever had anywhere in the world. Confident and refined, but unfussy and at times playful, we ordered the tasting menu and were blown away. The all natural wine pairing was incredibly interesting and we, in addition, had the NA pairing which is under no circumstances to be missed. We also ordered an extra course which received its own perfect pairing, as well as samples of their in-house schnapps, all of which were immaculate....
Very much looked forward to dining at Elske. The restaurant is quaint, cozy, everything I love in a dining experience. Much of our food was not at temperature - either being too cold/lukewarm at best and in some cases burnt. The arctic char was very overcooked and yet cool. Overall for such a fantastic restaurant reputation there were a few too many misses to give it more than a 3-4 star review. I stuck with a 4 because I really wanted it to be better. One not food related comment...
I've now had the set menu with the wine pairing twice in different seasons and both times, the food was well executed and delicious and the pairings were unique and perfect. I also highly suggest ending your meal with a cocktail or digestif and taking it outside to sip by the fire!
