Skål! Icelandic-Inspired Dinner with Brennivín at STELLA.
Iceland has always sounded like a magical place to me: it has the highest literacy rate on Earth, it's filled with hot springs and glaciers and volcanoes, and many of its citizens still believe in elves. Though you may not be able to jet over to the land of ice and fire anytime soon, you can settle for partaking in this five-course meal, featuring Icelandic dishes like savory cabbage parcels, beetroot fennel tarts, beet-cured salmon lox, Nordic fish soup, and apple crumble, each paired with libations made with the country's signature distilled spirit, Brennivín aquavit.
