Smorgas Chef
Smörgås Chef Restaurant Group was founded in 2003 by Norwegian chef and entrepreneur Morten Sohlberg and his partner MinYe.
Most recently, Smorgas Chef Restaurant Group opened two more restaurants - Crepes Du Nord, a French-Scandinavian Farm-to-Table Creperie on South William Street in Manhattan and a second creperie in BridgeWater Commons (NJ). In 2010, Smorgas Chef Restaurant Group acquired and restored an 1840’s farm, named Blenheim Hill, in order to provide the most flavorful, sustainable produce and meats to our restaurant guests. At the farm we have Icelandic sheep, heritage pigs, Hereford beef cattle, free-range chickens, rabbits and bees. In our year-round, state of the art hydroponic greenhouse; we produce heirloom tomatoes, 9 different salads, winter-greens, bean varietals, cucumbers, squash and dozens of other fruit and vegetables.
As established restaurateurs, our mission in becoming farmers is two-fold. In addition to being good stewards of the land and its resources, we want the 300.000 guests we serve each year to enjoy all natural, locally grown ingredients while developing a financially viable model for small-scale farming.
