One-Ninety Bar — Nordic Weekend Afternoon Tea

The Nordic Weekend Afternoon Tea at One-Ninety Bar presents a refined and thoughtfully curated interpretation of Scandinavian flavours, crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Daniel Windelhed. Drawing from his Swedish upbringing and Colombian heritage, Chef Windelhed brings a personal narrative to the experience - one that balances minimalism with expressive detail.

Guided by the Nordic principles of Fika and Hygge - the art of slowing down and appreciating simple pleasures - the afternoon tea offers a measured, elegant progression of sweet and savoury creations that emphasise balance, seasonality and respect for ingredients.

🧁Sweet Selections

Chef’s interpretation of the classic Swedish Princess Cake is delicately layered with marzipan, raspberry jam and diplomat cream, achieving a harmonious balance between richness and lightness. The Summer Tart, featuring strawberry and rhubarb compote paired with vanilla cream, offers a bright and refreshing contrast. Particularly memorable are the house-made Warm Cinnamon Buns, served with almond filling - soft, aromatic and evocative of traditional Scandinavian home baking.

🐟Savoury Highlights

The Skagenröra Toast, a classic shrimp salad presented on brioche with dill and lemon, is clean and well-balanced. The Herring with chives, mustard seeds, egg yolk cream and pickled onions offers a distinctly Nordic profile - nuanced, slightly tangy and deeply satisfying. These bites reflect a confident approach that allows quality ingredients to take centre stage.

🍹Cocktail Pairings

An elevated touch to the experience is the curated cocktail pairing. The signature Nordic in Var, crafted with aquavit, elderflower, suze and bianco vermouth, is particularly noteworthy - refreshing, botanical and thoughtfully aligned with the flavour profile of the menu.
