Breakfast is waiting for us at our hotel in the morning.
And we are setting ourselves up for a very eventful, beautiful day!
First, we are going to get acquainted with Murmansk – the largest city in the world, located beyond the Arctic Circle!
Murmansk is called the "Arctic Hollywood", so many films have been shot here! We will visit all the iconic places of the city and take a short walk around the center.
We will see the cabin of the Kursk submarine (the real one), go up to the monument to the defenders of the Arctic – Murmansk Alyosha, go to the seaport.
The tour will take place by minibus, we will not walk long distances. We move around the city comfortably and walk in beautiful places.
And, by the way, tinctures from northern berries are always with us.
And then we go to a unique master class of Arctic cuisine from the brand chef of the restaurant - resident of the Gastronomic map of Russia. You definitely won't cook such dishes for yourself – these are all author's recipes!
Northern cuisine is famous for unexpected, but very tasty combinations. So, what awaits us?
For an aperitif – freshly caught sea urchin with cloudberry sauce.
Served on a plate with crushed ice with a glass of sparkling wine.
Then a scallop baked on a shell with grated parmesan and Philadelphia cream cheese.
Served with a shot of strong tincture of northern berries.
There is a real highlight for the hot dish!
The brand chef marinates venison in lingonberries and red wine with us and prepares steaks.
It is served with apple cream and mushroom sauce with a glass of red full-bodied wine.
For dessert, a sorbet of northern berries with cloudberry jam, yagel chips and mushroom caramel.
During the master class, the chef will share with us all the cooking secrets, and we will start tasting our Arctic dishes!
In the afternoon, we will drive over the longest bridge in the Arctic – across the Kola Bay, and find ourselves on its other shore.
We will visit Abram Cape, a settlement that became part of Murmansk. It offers an incredible panorama of the Kola Bay and Murmansk.
Then we will take a close look at oceanic ships and naval vessels.
You can also go down to the water here, because there is no embankment in Murmansk.
We're going to dinner!
They will be waiting for us at the best author's restaurant in the Arctic, which is also included in the Gastronomic map of Russia.
The brand chef of the establishment creates original concepts of Arctic cuisine according to his own rules, combining an innovative approach and old traditions.
We will try Arctic fish soup on crab "milk" with Kamchatka crab meat, seafood and Murmansk scallops on the "sand" of the Barents Sea with oyster grass. The dishes are accompanied by a tasting set of four signature infusions of northern berries. Chin chin!
And the end of the dinner will be the author's dessert of the restaurant – Arctic blancmange with northern blueberries and raspberries, which is served with taiga tea.
Let's go back to the hotel and relax!
