I have mixed feelings about pop-up dinners. While I’ve had a few exceptional experiences, others have been downright horrible. When I heard about the new temporary culinary project For Now lead by Victoria Elíasdóttir of Dóttir fame, however, I knew I had to try it. It did not disappoint. Held in an undisclosed private location in Mitte, each dish of the eight-course dinner paired with wine was explained personally by the chef herself, a standard yet valuable practice that makes pop-ups truly unique. From her signature brown butter that accompanies the unexpectedly delicious potato bread, the unorthodox oysters, and the most beautiful and divine pavlova that concludes the evening, every dish was an expression of seasonal delights and prepared with the utmost care. Her feminine and romantic touches were not only pleasing to the eye, but elegantly delivered with fresh, clean and natural flavors. At For Now you can expect an utterly enjoyable time experiencing dishes from a seasoned chef cooking exactly for now: the seemingly brief yet lovely spring-summer season.
