The charcuterie craftsmanship of Pâté-Croûte, a baked pâté, has its world championship in Lyon. Our Victor Magdeburg participated in the competition, with Johan Ståhl supporting him. It is a prestigious competition organized by Bocuse d’Or and serves as a major gastronomic institution. On Monday, September 16th, at the Restaurant Academy, the decision was made as to who would represent Sweden in the World Championship. The jury, comprised of prominent figures in the restaurant world, included Tommy Myllymäki, President of Bocuse d’Or Sweden, Christophe Marguin, President of Les Toques Blanches Lyonnaises, Malidza Larsson, winner of the Swedish Championship in Pâté-Croûte 2023, Louis Dupuy Roudel of Restaurant Persona, Prix Taittinger 2024, Damien Foschetti of Fosch Artisan, master baker and pastry chef, Malin Söderström of the Moderna Museum, and Andreas Larsson, Best Sommelier of the World 2007. Unfortunately, Victor did not secure the ticket to Lyon in France, but he achieved an honorable second place, and we at Jolie are very proud of him. Congratulations!

Gratinated oysters bring a new dimension to the palate. At Chez Jolie, we serve an exclusive version of gratinated oysters with pastis hollandaise and fennel pollen, a dish that evokes the elegance and refined flavors of French cuisine.

Pastis hollandaise, a silky and rich sauce with a subtle hint of anise from the pastis, perfectly complements the oysters’ natural brininess and full-bodied character. During the gratination, the oysters are covered with a thin layer of this sauce, creating a golden, creamy surface brimming with flavor.

Savoring gratinated oysters with us is a delightful experience that enchants with its elegant simplicity and deep flavor composition. We also offer classic oysters if that’s your preference. Let Chez Jolie establish itself as the obvious choice for those seeking an exquisite dining experience in an enchanting setting.

Tips for the summer

In collaboration with Absolut Vodka, several bars within the Stureplansgruppen have created their own interpretations of the classic Cosmopolitan cocktail. Our bar team at Chez Jolie is participating in the competition, led by Diego Pommier.

What is a Cosmopolitan?
Often called a “cosmo,” it is a delicious cocktail made with Cointreau, vodka, cranberry juice, and lime juice. Belonging to the sour family, it has a fascinating history. Some trace its origins back to the 1920s, but most agree that the version we know today was created by bartenders in the USA during the 1980s. The drink’s popularity soared in the 1990s, largely thanks to Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and the City.” When Madonna sipped a Cosmo at the Rainbow Room in 1996, the drink became even more iconic. The combination of TV glamour and celebrity allure made the Cosmopolitan an indispensable star in the cocktail world.
You need:
40ml Absolut Elyx
15ml Yuzy triple sec
25ml Super lime juice
25ml Rhubarb/cranberry/tonka juice
Instructions: Mix everything in a shaker, shake with ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Serve with a lemon zest.

Mikael Einarsson sums it up very well, “Once is none, twice is a habit, and three times is a tradition, as they say. Even though it’s the first year the three of us are doing this together, we already see it as a habit. We look forward to making this an annual tradition where we kick off the summer season with a joint square festival to which everyone is welcome!” says Mikael Einarsson. You can expect music, a Negroni fountain, rotisserie, and an oyster bar, among much more. If you want to know more, read the press release.
