Review 2.0, Cuisine

Let me preface this by saying I lost my notes so don’t recall the names of everything. To cut to the heart of the matter, food was outstanding, not too fussy, surprising ingredients, gorgeously plated and presented. Wines were very good quality, if one wanted there is a cellar of the super fine stuff for purchase. All drinks (I recommend the Nordic Fizz), wines, beers, etc. included as are all meals. And the meals are splendid. Ate my first Bambi, delicious; and my first urchin. The mushrooms are locally foraged as is much else (spruce tips, seaweed, greens) and some gardened. Spotted prawns are caught right off the dock; fish and crab locally caught. Everything brilliantly tasty and creative. The kitchen is amazing.

One of the ways I judge a chef and kitchen is: can they scramble eggs well? Almost no one can. But, Nimmo Bay can! There was a salmonberry panna cotta atop a bed of spruce granita that was so fine I’d liked to died. The berries foraged in the forest behind Nimmo.

I surmise some tire of the photos but maybe food pix are more to your, er, taste.
