Pilgrim’s Lunch: From Santiago de Compostela to Nidaros

Welcome to a lunch experience unlike any other – where taste, history, and community meet at the long table by the Nidelven river.

In collaboration with Nidaros Pilegrimsgård, we invite you on a unique and sensory journey along Europe’s most important pilgrimage routes – from Santiago de Compostela, through Rome and Jerusalem, and finally to Nidaros. This is a journey through food and culture, served as a multi-course lunch at the pilgrim’s final destination. Drawing inspiration from places along the pilgrimage route, Renée Fagerhøi and Thomas Borgan take you on a culinary adventure. Course by course, they blend traditional dishes, ingredients, and cooking techniques from the pilgrims’ destinations with local Trøndelag flavors and storytelling. Southern European influences meet Nordic roots – all culminating in Nidaros and the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the food festival. Throughout the meal, Nidaros Pilegrimsgård will share the story of the pilgrims who carried ideas, herbs, flavors, and philosophies between south and north. You will be taken on a thousand-year journey of cultural exchange and shared human experience – accompanied by musical interludes and vivid storytelling. And it all takes place where the pilgrims once arrived: at Nidaros Cathedral, in the heart of Trondheim.
