Our Story

Where Sweden
Meets New York

Aquavit opened its doors in 1987 with a single vision: to honor the pure, restrained flavors of Scandinavian cuisine while giving them room to breathe in the energy of New York City.

We are driven by the Nordic philosophy of letting exceptional ingredients speak without interference. The cold sea, the ancient forests, the fleeting summer light — each season arrives as an invitation to reimagine what we know.

Under the direction of Executive Chef Emma Bengtsson, the kitchen has earned two Michelin Stars and a reputation as one of America's defining fine dining experiences.
