What sets Smørbrød apart is the handling of cloudberry. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the rich and slightly sweet result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Norwegian coastal geography shaped a cuisine centred on preserved and fresh fish. The a mountain hytte cabin dinner atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had cloudberry cream as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Smørbrød is the place to start.
