Aquavit

65 E. 55th St., New York, NY, 10022, USA
$$$$ · Scandinavian, Contemporary
Two Stars: Excellent cooking
Aquavit remains one of the city’s most polished expressions of contemporary Scandinavian cooking, set within a sleek dining room anchored by a striking open kitchen under Chef Emma Bengtsson. The tasting menus lean heavily into Nordic sensibilities, balancing pristine seafood, preserved elements, cultured dairy and bright seasonal produce with elegant restraint. Dishes may include beautifully cooked Norwegian langoustine with Meyer lemon sabayon and crisp shellfish tuile, or halibut paired with salt-baked celeriac and smoked whey beurre blanc. Desserts continue the restaurant’s refined style, weaving subtle herbal, citrus and licorice notes into compositions that feel thoughtful without becoming overly heavy.
