Iternitty is an independent site by Ina and Kristoffer, two certified sommeliers based in Sweden, both WSET Level 3. Neither of us has worked in a restaurant. For a few years we imported wine and sold it to them instead.
We write about restaurants, hotels and the places we travel to.
So far that includes over 100 Michelin restaurants across 11 countries, and plenty of others besides.
We book and pay for every visit ourselves. No sponsors, no freebies, no favours. We write about places as we found them. How we review →
Iternitty started as a private notebook, somewhere to keep track of where we had been and what we thought. Over time it grew. Now we share it, hoping it helps someone decide.
We travel to eat, eat to remember, and have strong opinions about both. Occasionally about other things too.
The name came from a pronunciation problem. Itinerary was, and remains, a word Kristoffer cannot say correctly. One day Iternitty came out instead. It stuck.
The butterfly in our logo goes where it wants. So do we.
All photography is ours unless otherwise credited.
Loves spicy food, distrusts anything raw and slimy, and will not tolerate a fork with crooked prongs. She is a certified sommelier with a master’s degree in psychology and most of a WSET Diploma.
She also has the better palate of the two of us, which Kristoffer stopped disputing years ago.
She calls Kristoffer a marshmallow. This is a reference to the Marshmallow Test, and to his relationship with patience, which is complicated.
Also a sommelier. Will eat almost anything — except eggs and insects, though he makes an exception for green ants, which is a sentence he never expected to write.
He dislikes edible gold on food. Not for principled reasons. It just irritates him.
When ill, he ignores every piece of advice Ina gives him and then asks for her chicken soup. He calls her cupcake. She lets him.
He dislikes flying. But staying home is worse.
We do not travel only to eat. But we do make the reservation before we go.
For reasons we cannot always explain. And yes, these are the ones we actually agree on.
