Aurora Restaurant - Akureyri

Fínn matur en lítið gert fyrir grænmetisætur og veganista, mætti td alveg bjóða uppá eins einn aðalrétt á hlaðborðinu hjá ykkur. Það er ekkert spennandi að koma til ykkar og fá bara meðlæti.

Mjög góður matur. Gott verð og vinsæll barnamatseðill. Vorum 14 saman og allir mjög ánægðir.

Maturinn ekki nógu góður, fiskurinn hálf hrár og þjónustan ekki góð.

Fantastic! We booked the evening of the 25th December. The atmosphere was so lovely and cozy, the service super professional and the food amazing. The restaurant was offering a fixed festive menu but it had plenty of options for all dietary requirements. The food was plenty and all the flavours were beautiful. We loved it so much we also came back the following evening. We wish we would have also spent the 24th here instead of the other open alternative which can’t even compare to Aurora.

Wir hatten den Vergleich zum Vortag in einem anderen Restaurant in Akuyeri. Das Essen auf einem sehr guten Niveau, die Getränkeauswahl absolut ausreichend und passend. Der Service, Andri(?), hervorragend, flexibel und unaufgeregt. Tipptopp. Das Ambiente stimmig, aber etwas eng bestuhlt im oberen Teil des Restaurants. Im Barbereich ist mehr Platz aber auch eine andere Speisekarte. Das Restaurant gehört zum Hotel, aber man kann auch als Nicht-Hotelgast reservieren. Auch wenn es abseits der Fußgängerzone ist, ist das Aurora einen Besuch wert.

We were 4 adults and 2 children, we had booked a table at 18:00. We got a nice table on the first floor, it was perfect because we had the kids corner in the hallway in plain sight.

We ordered starters, main and dessert.
Higly recomend the seafood pasta, skirt steak and the local ice cream. We tried two cocktails also and they were so good.

에피타이저 와플 궁금해서 시켜봤는데 곁들여 나오는 연어알+사워크림이 재미있는 맛이었고, 와플은 조식에도 나오기때문에 호텔 숙박하시며 조식 포함일 경우에는 굳이 안 시켜도 되는 디쉬인 것 같아요.🙂
메인디쉬 오리는 진짜 맛있었는데 소스랑 고기 합이 좋았고 같이 나오는 감자와 버섯 아티초크도 맛있게 먹었습니다. 메인디쉬는 전체적으로 밸런스도 좋고 호텔 디너치고 괜찮은 가격이었습니다.
디저트는 아이슬란드 치즈 파르페인가… 이름이 잘 기억은 안나는데 완전 우유 치즈 농축된 아이스크림과 캬라멜 소스, 여러 종류 견과류가 나와 맛있게 잘 먹었습니다.

개인적인 소감으론 해당 호텔 숙박하면서 아큐레이리 도착한 날 저녁으로 완벽했습니다.🙆🏻‍♀️

4 course set menu including Duck as main
Matching wine.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH
Blue cheese, grapes, pesto, chervil, port

The delicious grape is very sweet balances well with port & blue cheese tartness’s. When I first saw it I thought just cooked pumpkin. But the flavours are extremely good. Well balanced. The small seeded crisp is bonus that gives the extra crunch to the soft expertly cooked squash. A surprisingly very good start. Champagne is nice no idea what it is.

SALMON
Lightly smoked and slow-cooked salmon, apple, salmon roe, dulse, 
popped rice, dill, wasabi sauce

- Salmon chard with torch salmon roe wasabi sauce with tiny bits apple very sour.

Salmon cooked expertly. Balance with roe & apple good. Dulse ( dulse, dillisk or dilsk, red dulse, sea lettuce flakes, or creathnach, is a red alga previously referred to as Rhodymenia palmata. It grows on the northern coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It is a well-known snack food. ) Was really lacking in presence which was disappointing as I want to try it.
The wasabi sauce was very disappointing. I’d call it very weak wasabi water.
When you cook salmon this good you can be forgiven for a few hiccups. Loved it.
The matching Chabli was okay just lost in the tartness of the dish.

Sad thing is the service by the 2 young staff is poor. They’re overwhelmed by Le
Ss than 20 people. I don’t blame them it looks like either training or balancing the number of staff.

Overall a great tasting that just needs some minor adjustments to make the “event” more enjoyable.

MAIN COURSES
DUCK BREAST
Blackberries, mushrooms, mushroom Pommes Anna (layered potato slices) , 
Jerusalem artichokes, port wine sauce

Well the duck breast was okay or not ok. Duck is cooked quickly on high heat so you capture the flavour if you cook it slow and low it’s ends up tough. This breast has bits that are that sensational melting in the mouth amazing taste. The sauce berries mushrooms are just fantastic the balance perfectly no doubt as the chef intended. But more than 1/2 was tough chewy and unpleasant. I even wondered whether it’s was actually breast meat at all. Small things disappoint an experience. Not on this occasion I have pointed out some negatives but the flavours intended by chef came through and were delicious and fantastic. Just a few things were not up to par.
