The Nobel Banquet is an event many would give a
fortune to attend. Alas, only 1,300 guests can be
seated at the Blue Hall of the City Hall of Stockholm
where the Banquet has been held since 1934. During
the first decades, 'consommés' or clear soups
like 'Tortue Claire' were common starters. Today, the
guiding principle is that the menus should have a
touch of Scandinavia.
Below is a list of menus through the years that gives
a historic glimpse of what was served at the 20th
century feasts. Only in French from 1901 to 2004.
Translations in English and Swedish are available
from 2005.
