"There’s no restaurant in the world quite like Alchemist, so you’ll have to invest plenty of time securing a reservation months in advance. An immersive and perfectly choreographed six-hour-plus experience, eating here is a highly theatrical affair divided into ‘Acts’ and set across several locations, including a spectacular planetarium-like dome. Dishes are technically complex and highly creative with dramatic, provocative and sometimes even startling visuals. Every course is a social commentary from the chef: dip into a cod-eye jelly pupil modelled on the chef’s own eye to reveal a core of caviar, blue mussels and razor clams (surveillance) or break open a confectionery bar in the shape of a coffin (child labour)." - Michelin Inspector
