“ Restaurant Hjem has always been a culinary Michelin star experience - this was our 3rd time visiting with friends and we’re def not regular fine dining people. If there’s one place we’d recommend a dining experience, it’ll be here. The whole meal is a journey, and for internationals like us, we thought when it came to good food, flavor and spice we knew it well - but this was an entire experience on its own. It’s a visual and tasting experience, as the dish is explained to you the food enters your mouth, our perception on food changed and we were just glad to be there. Watching the team work really adds to the experience and is something we’ve only seen on tv. The customer service is top level. It’s a 15 course menu and yes, it’s enough to fill you up (even if you don’t fill yourself up with the generous alcohol pairing option). There’s free parking on site and they have lodging too. Highly recommended ”
“ It's an experience, not a meal - you're paying for more than just the food. Really nice, friendly staff, not at all pretentious. It goes without saying that the food is excellent. Fewer tables than other Michelin places in which we've eaten, which gives it a far more relaxed and congenial atmosphere. ”
“ Great vibe, awesome wine, amazing food and a well thought out menu. We treated ourselves to an overnight stay too which was 100% worth it for the breakfast alone. The rooms aren't spectacular but if you drink enough of the fabulous wine on offer then you literally won't even care. The place captures the Scandi vibe very well yet remains authentic to its surroundings. (In case you are well versed in the Scandi vibe, let me reassure you, the people are way way more friendly at Hjem. ) If you love food, or you just love new experiences then Hjem is totally worth checking out. ”
“ We went for a significant birthday and this was a really great place to go for a big celebration. It was a sixteen course tasting menu consisting largely of a series of really attractive and delicious snacks, several no more than a few mouthfuls. The wine pairings were excellent and worked really well with the food. We felt really looked after as they fed us course after course after course. The atmosphere was really relaxed, highly polished but not ostentatious. The staff were really friendly and were very knowledgeable of each course, how it was made, and could answer questions we had on how they were made so delicious! Having stayed the night, breakfast the following morning was amazing, a real smorgasbord. We would go back in a heartbeat! ”
“ Outstanding experience for a birthday treat. 15 course menu which was magnificent. The food is beautiful, fine dining quality, but it didn’t feel stuffy in the service/atmosphere. We stayed the night, room was fine (hotel going through gradual refurbishment), then breakfast was another treat with beautifully laid out food in the morning. ”
“ A beautiful one in a lifetime dining experience. Everything was perfect! The waiter was extremely friendly and informative - we learnt so much from him. Had the taster menu paired with the non-alcohol drinks, which was magical. Very impressed with the non-alcoholic amaretto! The food was delightful - couldn't fault it at all. Hjem is also very accommodating to food preferences. It truly was a magical once in a lifetime experience - fine dining at its best. ”
“ Honestly the most amazing place in the Northeast. Even LV had a seat. Called Larry. lol Staff is amazing, the whole experience is amazing! Definitely coming back. ”
“ We had such delicious food here. Each dish was so inventive and special in its own way. The menu was faultless. The staff were outstanding and created such a unique dining experience for us. Thanks to all the team and especially Marek for his baking tips. ”
