Alchemist

The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025: The Full List of Winners | Eater

"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

We Have Questions About This $500K Fine Dining Experience in Space | Eater

"Led by chef Rasmus Munk in Copenhagen, this restaurant is known for highly experimental, theatrical tasting menus that transform food into provocative, hyperreal presentations — from dinerslick flowers placed on a lifelike tongue to edible “heads” and avant‑garde desserts. The kitchen treats dishes as artistic, often concept‑driven statements that interrogate science, society and spectacle; the chef cites an early visit to the city planetarium as an influence and is extending the restaurant’s boundary‑pushing approach into a planned stratospheric dining project with space‑tourism partners." - Jaya Saxena
