Totally Stockholm 1
The ultimate food experience? A feast for both yo
ur tastebuds and your eyes is what’s promised when the food concept Banquet of Hoshena visits for a pop-up at the Stockholm restaurant Kasai. Banquet of Hoshena is a 3D concept created this year by the London-based producer Nadine Beshir, in collaboration with Studio McGuire, a team of composers, authors and graphic designers. The result is a dinner show combining 3D technology with food and drink. “With Banquet of Hoshena we want the guests to feel like they’re entering a completely different and magical world – without having to leave their table. It’s the ultimate complete experience for your group of friends, colleagues or family,“ says Nadine Beshir about the creation. During the two-hour long show, visitors will be treated to a five-course dinner with matching wines, and the idea is that every serving is supposed to represent a sensation. Apart from London and Stockholm, the banquet has visited Nashville and Kuwait, and an upcoming tour will take it to Dubai, Istanbul and the US. In Stockholm you can book a visit at Banquet of Hoshena up until December 14 and the price is 895 kronor per head. PT Aperitivo culture It’s been a big couple of weeks for the gang behind Hornstull bar Tjoget. In early October it was announced that they’d landed on the international World’s Best Bars list for the fourth year in a row, this time out at #37. And now it’s also been announced that Tjoget is getting a sibling, with new bar and restaurant Positano opening in the NK shopping centre, with Tjoget’s Joel Söderbäck, Andreas Bergman and Robert Rudinski in the driver’s seat. Positano is billed as an aperitivo bar, taking its name from the Italian tradition of a couple of glasses with snacks as a predinner ritual. The menu will be full of what you’d expect from a good Italian eatery, pasta dishes, charcuterie, meats and cheeses, along with Italian wines and cocktails, plus high-quality coffee if you happen to be there earlier in the day. “At Positano we capture a feeling of the old aperitivo culture, but package it in a modern and visually beautiful way with the focus on service, quality and atmosphere. We’ve always dreamt about an Italian bar and cafe, and NK is the perfect place, with lots of people moving through it during the day. Positano will be a natural meeting-place where one can drop in for a quick bite, or stay a couple of hours and even do the most un-Swedish thing possible, drink cocktails during the day before the sun has even gone down”, says Joel Söderbäck. AM Positano opens at the beginning of November. Joel Söderbäck, Robert Rudinski and Andreas Bergman, the founders of Positano 21
