Domku

This is Norweigian, which we were surprised to find. We went for brunch on Sunday it is in the Petworth area of DC which has some cool restuarants but we are kind of afraid to go at night. It is definately on the edge of being a cool area.

Since it was brunch, we thought we'd start with a"bloody Domku". The Domku version of a Bloody Mary made with house made chili vodka. Oh my gosh; it was so spicy I couldn't even drink it. Julian loved it though. I changed to a pomegranate mimosa.

We had the Danish pancake balls; made in a special mold and available only on Sundays. They are yummy fried donuts.






The Norweigian pancake is very much like a crepe. The batter is very eggy and the pancake is quite thin.




Mushroom and Feta Lefse: a different pancake made with potatoes. We had these in Minot. These were wrapped like a blintz and filled with a tasty nushroom filling.




Herring and Potato Pie gotta have some herring right. This was surprisingly light and not fishy at all. I guess I have pickled herring on the brain but this was a creamy sauce with herring and mushrooms inside a flaky pastry. Yummy.

Salmon pyt i panna: cubed potatoes and smoked salmon sauteed like hash and toppd with a poached egg, caviar and a mustardy sause. So simple and so delicious. A perfect dish for a chilly Sunday morning. I want to try this at home.




Swedish meatballs: must try the offical meatballs if you're doing Scandanavian. The creamy suace was delicous on the mashed potatoes but the meatballs were not that exciting.



All in all this was a fun place. A review said to be prepared for terrible service and we were. Our waitress couldn't have been better an our food came out quickly and it was delicious.
