Vi hjælper gerne med forslag til gode vine… Måske du allerede har din egen favorit? Ellers er tjenerne i restauranten altid behjælpelige med gode råd og ideer til aftenens vine.

Sommelier på Spisestedet Sarfalik, Martin Reimer, forklarer hvordan han vælger sine vine til en konkret menu. Han ser ikke kun på hovedingrediensen, men tager elementerne med i betragtning. Har du f.eks. valgt torsk som forret, er det værd at vurderer valget af vine i forhold til skorzonerrod og brændt mælk, som er blandt elementerne på tallerkenen. Sødmen og snerten af ”brændt protein” går f.eks. godt til den Sydafrikanske Paradiskloof der med sin feminine og lette elegance går rigtig godt i spænd med elementerne på tallerkenen.

We are happy to suggest the perfect wine… You may already have your own favourite? If not, the waiting staff in the restaurant are always on hand to offer good advice and ideas for the evening’s wines.

The sommelier at Spisestedet Sarfalik, Martin Reimer, explains how he selects his wines for a specific menu. He does not only look at the main ingredients, but takes all of the different elements into consideration. For example, if you have chosen cod as a starter, it is worthwhile considering the choice of wine in relation to the salsify and burnt milk, which are among the elements on the plate. The sweetness and hint of “burnt protein” goes well with the South African Paradiskloof, for example, which with its feminine and light elegance goes very well in combination with the different elements on the plate.

En blandt mange gode… Skal vores sommerlier, Martin Reimer, fremhæve en dessertvin frem for andre, bliver det hans egen favorit. Ungarnske Tokaji er old school med omkring 500 års historie, der er baseret på godt håndværk og klassiske dyder.

Er der ost på tallerkenen, anbefaler vores sommelier et godt glas Fritz Haag Riesling Spätlese, der med sit tema af overmodne æbler og en stref af honning i stilen, fuldender den gode oplevelse omkring en valanrettet ostetallerken

One among many good ones… If our sommelier, Martin Reimer, were to recommend a dessert wine it would be his personal favourite. The Hungarian Tokaji is old school with around 500 years of history and which is based on good craftsmanship and classic virtues.

If cheese is on the plate, our sommelier recommends a good glass of Fritz Haag Riesling Spätlese, which with its theme of overripe apples and a hint of honey in the mix, completes a wonderful experience with a well-chosen cheese plate. HVIDVIN WHITE WINE DKK 1/1 ½

The outstanding brewery, Godthaab Bryghus, was established in 2006 and is the oldest as well as the largest brewery in Greenland.

It is a sustainable and conceptually strong micro-brewery in the Arctic region, located in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, and only 265 kilometres from the Arctic Circle.

The brewery uses rare and exclusive ingredients from the Arctic region and from the Greenlandic countryside. Berries, honey and special herbs from the Arctic region and Greenland help making our beer exceptional.

The local brewery produce a number of popular brands. The Greenlandic beer is available in bars, restaurants and hotels in most parts of Greenland. Also here at Spisestedet Sarfalik and in Skyline Bar.

Also Godthaab Bryghus export beer to Iceland, Denmark and soon also Shanghai in China. 1954-imi Kristine Chemnitz kaffebar-innguami umiarsuakkut tikisitsisussaasimavoq sodavandinik quusaaqqanillu, lyst øl, kisianni aamma ilanngunneqarsimapput immiaaqqat kimittuut piniarneqarsimanngikkaluit.

In 1954 a load of fizzy lemonade and light beer was to arrive at Kristine Chemnitz’s small coffee bar on the ship from Denmark, but a certain amount of strong beer was also delivered.

This error resulted that year in the first license to sell beer, wine and spirits in Green- land, granted by the Country Chief.

In 1971 the original coffee bar – restaurant “Kristinemut” got a neighbor, when Hotel Grønland with its 63 rooms was completed and opened.

The present owner of the hotel decided to extend the hotel capacity in Nuuk. Then, 1987, September 1st, Hotel Hans Egede opened, and the first guests were received.

Thus the history of hotels and restaurants in the center of Nuuk covers a period of more than sixty years, but with a distance of only 200 meters between them. Al- though the distance is short there is a very big leap from the small coffee bar to the new luxury hotel.

I 1954 skulle der med Danmarksskibet til Kristine Chemnits lille kaffebar ankomme en sending sodavand og lyst øl, men man modtog også en sending stærk øl.

Denne fejltagelse medførte, at landshøvdingen det år udstedte Grønlands første spiri- tusbevilling.

1971 fik det, der oprindeligt var kaffebar, Restaurant ”Kristinemut” en nabo, idet Hotel Grønland med sine 63 værelser blev færdigt og åbnede det år.

Hotellets nuværende ejere besluttede at udvide hotelkapaciteten i Nuuk. I 1987 – 1. september åbnede så Hotel Hans Egede og de første gæster blev modtaget.

Hotel- og restauranthistorien i Nuuk bymidte dækker altså en periode på over tres år, men kun en afstand af 200 meter. Selv om afstanden er lille, er det alligevel et stort spring fra den lille kaffebar til det nye luksushotel. I 1728 stævnede Hans Egede ind i fjorden og lagde grunden til det, der i dag er Grønlands dynamiske hovedstad. Og han kunne ikke have valgt et bedre sted.

Fjordsystemet omkring Nuuk byder på naturoplevelser af en sjælden karat. Med Sermitsiaq som det karakteristiske vartegn danner fjeldene en dekorativ ramme om fjorde, bugter og vige og en imponerende baggrund for fotos af de mange hvaler, der lægger vejen forbi. En udflugt til indlands- isen, en fisketur på fjorden og en vandretur på Lille Malene er andre muligheder.

Som Grønlands hovedstad, kulturelle centrum og største bysamfund, har Nuuk ikke kun naturoplevelser at byde på, men også maskedansere, trommedansere og skuespillere, som gerne underholder ved arrangementer.

Man kan også gå på opdagelse på egen hånd. Besøg f.eks. Katuaq – Grønlands kulturhus, “Brættet” – hvor lokale fiskere og fangere sælger frisk kød og fisk, Skindsystuen Kittat, Nationalmuseet, smykkekunstnere, stenværksted eller gobelinerne på Rådhuset.

In 1728 Hans Egede sailed into the fiord and established the settlement wich today is Greenland´s dynamic capital. And he could not have chosen a better place.

The fiord system that surrounds Nuuk has a rare natural beauty. And the town’s landmark, Sermitsiaq, and other mountains form an impressive backdrop for photos of the many whales that pass by. An excursion to the ice cap, a fishing trip in the fiord and a hike on “Lille Malene” are other options.

As the capital of Greenland, the centre of culture and biggest community, Nuuk does not only offer experiences in the nature, but also maskdancers, drumdancers and actors, who enjoy entertaining.

You can also do your own sightseeing. Visit f.ex. Katuaq - Greenland’s cultural centre, “Brættet” - where local hunters and fishermen sell fresh Greenlandic products, Kittat - a skin workroom, The National Museum, jewellery artists, a stone workshop or the tapestries at the Community Hall.
