"Ranked No. 5 on the 2025 World’s 50 Best Restaurants list." - Erin DeJesus

"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

The 15 Best Restaurants In Copenhagen - Copenhagen - The Infatuation

"On paper, a six-hour meal may sound like a chore. But an hours-long meal at Alchemist is a wild, full-on theatrical experience—think El Bulli meets Broadway. You’ll be whisked through multiple different rooms throughout the night, where 50 tiny courses called “impressions” are served. The idea is to surprise and delight, so prepare for a lot of emotions, like joy (when you receive a glass of champagne and a perfectly whipped omelet) and slight apprehension (when a dish that looks like a tongue is placed in front of you). But don’t worry: it’s all delicious." - mary holland
