Amass



Here`s a little run around of our night at Amass about 6 weeks ago.




We got one of the two action seats, right next to the kitchen.
The menu, we jumped on 9 servings for 750 dkr.

First up, really nice starter of razor clams, smoked marrow and pickled onions. on top musselcrisps. 
Really good, but pretty heavy flatbread with fermented potatoes, and a dip of different onions.


First course, char with porridge and coriander seeds.
Unfortunally this was a big miss.
Unpleasant textures together.
On top of that im not the biggest coriander seed fan.

Grilled beets, cep mushrooms and black currant.
Nice dish, but i didnt understand it was cold served on a hot plate, and in my opinion it would have taste better warm.
Grilled squid, poached onions and butter foam.
Heres the thing, this dish was tasty, well cooked squid, and the combo is simple but good.
But when you cook a squid perfectly, and have a nice foam that works, its unfortunate when the onions are undercooked and very bitter, and kind of ruins the rest of the dish.


Slow roasted pumpkin pure, rosemary salt and roasted almond oil.
Very nice dish, did get the feeling i could have used something more like a bit of protein, but thats the style here.
Cod roe emulsion, chickenskin, kale and seaweed stock. Probably the best dish that night



Icelandic lamb neck, bear sauce, grilled selleri and pear. good but didnt leave a impression


Hasselnut parfait, quince and hasselnut. pretty old school, but allright, exepts the quince that tasted pretty watery. A shame cause the rest where pretty intense

Bolivian chokolate, and parshnip. Tasty heavy ending, the parsnip didnt do to much here, but it was good


We finnished with a bunch of really nice sage pastrys with blueberry jam.
A nice and pretty homie way of ending a meal.

I think we both left with a feeling that Amass is "okay", but thats about it.
The dished are really simpel, and maby a bit to simple sometimes, because in most dishes, I had a feeling that "this is all right, but its missing something"

That being said, its recommendable for people who likes the very simple style.
