Briefly

Our kitchen – a mix of classic European traditions, uncompromising Nordicness and the roughness of big cities.

“But why, when everything finally goes around, we take a drink and forget about everything. We take a drink and laugh and cry at the same time for all the trips of our lifetime.”

Albina is our passion project – it’s our place where we can share this love with you.
