No tour of Scandinavia is complete without a visit to my favourite restaurant on the planet @restaurantalchemist
Rasmus and @lykke_alchemist had just flown back that morning from Dubai where @rasmusmunkalchemist picked up his incredibly well deserved number 1 chef in the world award from @thebestchefawards
I remember clearly my first visit to the original Alchemist in 2016 when Rasmus was working pretty much solo behind a small counter of maybe 10 seats... More

Next stop on my best of Copenhagen mini tour last year was to ⭐️⭐️ 🍀 @restaurantalchemist ,and to my mind the best restaurant on the planet at the moment.

Alchemist in Copenhagen continues to be an extraordinary dining experience that transcends the traditional boundaries of what a restaurant can offer. Having dined there six times, I can confidently say that this latest visit was the best yet. Chef Rasmus Munk's concept of "Holistic Dining" blends gastronomy with art, theater, and social commentary, creating a multi-sensory journey through 50 courses. Classics like the omelette remain, but the new additions are exceptional, showcasing Munk's relentless... More

Dear Rasmus, dear Lykke, dear Alchemist team, thank you very much for the impressive & exclusive tour through your culinary empire.
It’s hard to put into words what a wonderful gastronomic world you have created!
An Alice in Wonderland or in the land of milk and honey.
A place that offers a completely different approach to contemporary gastronomy and takes fine dining to another level!
Magical, mystical and highly emotional. From the bottom of my ❤️ all the best for your future! See... More

Technique: The crispy casing made from banana juice and milk protein is filled with a Manzano banana sorbet, cachaça gel, tonka bean gel, lemon puré, and a fluffy jasmine meringue.

Letter Soup - elBulli1846
elBulli dish no 1062 from 2004. elBulli challenged the idea of shape and form in a multitude of ways. This is a fresh cheese ice cream with amaretto, strawberry soup, and strawberry meringue.
The shape was inspired by pop art and alphabet pasta. Technique: Fresh cheese ice cream, amaretto reduction, strawberry soup, and strawberry dry meringue letters

Frozen Parmesan Air - elBulli1846
elBulli dish no 1009 from 2004.
Returning to the idea of using cheese instead of vanilla, this is a further development: An air made from Parmesan whey. The incredible lightness of the texture tricks the senses. Technique: We make a parmesan whey air with soy lecithin and freeze it. It is
served with a musti on the sidewith dried apple, roasted walnuts, and freeze-dried raspberries.

Spice Wheel - elBulli1846
elBulli dish no. 367 from 1996.
When this impression was first served in 1996 at elBulli, it broke all the rules for what you could do in a restaurant. As a playful discovery, the guest was handed a list of spices to try and match with each teatured on the plate, getting in close contact with the
consciousness around the tastebuds.
Technique: Granny Smith green apple gelatin with the spices in clockwise order: 1 nutmeg, 2 curry, 3 saffron, 4 cardamoms, 5 Sichuan pepper,... More

Soy Burrata & Black Truffle - Enigma

A play on flavor perception ano how our understanding of flavors changes depending on how they are presented to us. This is a Spanish Tongue Kiss inspired by the travels Rasmus has had to Barcelona leading up to this event!

Plastic Fantastic - Alchemist
This impression is inspired by the large garbage patches, found in our oceans. The patches occur in
the stable centers of the ocean currents, where a natural vortex collects the garbage. While it might conjure up an image of an island of trash, these patches look more like a cloudy soup, where microplastics are mixed in with larger items. Technique: This is a further development of elBullis work with oblato, combining it with fish collagen and algae to recreate the... More

Espuma De Judías Blancas con Erizo - elBulli1846
elBulli dish no 240 from 1994
Nowadays the siphon is used in all restaurant kitchens as well as in many homes. But when elBulli discovered in 1994 that it could be used to create textures lighter than mousse, yet able to carry intense flavor, it was a technical revolution. The white bean espuma was the first of its kind to be served at a restaurant. It is served
on top of an Icelandic sea urchin with a white bean water gelatine

Yuba With Jamon Iberico & Sea Urchin - dos palillos
Besides techniques and a revolutionary approach to the restaurant industry, one of the most long-lasting legacies of elBulli is the long line of alumni-chefs, affectionately called Bullinianos, that worked there - and afterwards spread out through the culinary world. This is a dish from Bulliniano Albert Raurich, who was Head Chef at elBulli for 10 years, and is now owner of the Barcelona restaurant Dos Palillos (1 star) and Dos Pebrots. We are... More

Ravioli Que Se Va - elBulli1846
elBulli dish no 1628 from 2009.
The rise of molecular gastronomy introduced the possibility of playing with our senses and the mind’s constant attempts to always make sense of things. This is the iconic Vanishing Ravioli, filled with pine nut praliné and roasted pine nuts - to be dipped in a pinecone infusion. Dip just for a second (or you might miss it.)
Technique: The disappearing transparent ravioli are made with round oblate, ultra-thin, and transparent edible... More

Sunburnt Bikini - Alchemist
The ham and cheese “Bikini toast” is a Barcelona classic, named after the Bikini Concert Hall where it
was first served. When Rasmus visits Barcelona this is one of the first things he searches out for a snack. Technique: The Alchemist version is made with cryo-fried mochi dough. As the ball goes from a temperature of -60 to 200 in an instant, it creates an
extremely crispy outside and a sweet and chewy inside. It is filled with stringy Gruyere cheese and Joselito... More

on 08 Feb 2024

Butterfly - Alchemist
Farmed butterflies from our farmer Leif who raises them on only nettles in a greenhouse. Butterflies contain almost 3 times the protein of beef and chicken and could be a possible protein source in the future. Technique: A freeze-dried Nettle butterfly (eng. small tortoiseshell) on a crispy nettle leaf (made from juiced kale, parsley, and spinach) with nettle fresh cheese.

Tomato Granita with Almond Gelatin - elBulli1846
elBulli dish no. 159 from 1992.
This dish broke new ground in several ways. The “molded” presentation was normally reserved for desserts, and here it was used in a savory dish. It was
also the first savory ice cream to be served at elBulli - and it became one of their first signature dishes. Technique: Savory granita made with a Japanese tomato variety cultivated in Spain (Tomate
Amela) with almond gelatin. Finished with fresh oregano and olive... More

Spherical Olives - elBulli1846 elBulli dish no. 1095 from 2005. The very first reverse spherification in the history of gastronomy. The famous spherical olive was invented by elBulli in 2005 after two years of development, and still today it is paid homage to at restaurants around Spain. Liquified Gordal olives, spherified using indirect spherification. Marinated in aromatized olive oil with star aniseed, black pepper, and cinnamon

Corte Helado de Parmesano - elBulli1846
elBulli dish no 399 from 1997. elBulli were pioneers when it came to creating savory ice creams.
Ferran has a saying: “Instead of vanilla... Cheese!” and that is exactly what you have here with an ice cream of Parmesan cheese between parmesan crackers. An
iconic dish where the concept of snacks in the structure of the tasting menu was consolidated

Rubia Gallega Air Baguette - el Bulli1846
elBulli dish no 947 from 2003. A signature impression first at elBulli, later at Tickets. This is the Gallega Air Baguette where cured Rubia Gallega Beef is rolled around a thin crust. Technique: Puffed pizza dough at a very high temperature in the shape of a baguette, wrapped in Rubia Gallega cured beef.

Perfect Omelette - Alchemist
An example of a technique that would not be possible without the work of the elBullitaller-lab. This is Alchemist’s further development on the spherification technique - using the protein in the egg yolk. A brittle egg yolk membrane is shaped in a 3D mold and then filled with egg yolk- and Comté cheese cream. It is topped with a 0.5 mm thin slice of papada
Joselito - the optimal thickness for melting in the mouth. Topped with a black truffle pattern and infused with... More

Fried Egg with Caviar - Enigma

Dumpling - Alchemist
Rasmus shares the Adrià brothers’ interest in Japanese cuisine, and one of his discoveries traveling
there was the delicate Japanese silk sugar wasanbon, perfect for making cotton candy. Here, the cotton candy casing is filled with traditional Asian flavors. Inside the dumpling, there is a gelified Nam Jim sauce based on a fish sauce fermented for 5 years. It is wrapped in pak choi and fresh aromatic herbs.

Space Bread - Alchemist
Our research team has been working with a researcher from MIT and the NASA food lab on designing food for space travel. The research included new techniques, one of them was very high aeration, which inspired Rasmus to make an air of soy that would disappear instantly and give space for the caviar to shine.
Technique: 10.000% aerated 10-year-old soy sauce from Kyoto topped with osietra imperial caviar.

Yuzu Sandwich - elBulli1846
In 2005, the team of elBullitaller traveled to Japan and discovered many new ingredients not used in Western cuisine. One of those ingredients was the obulato, which was used for the first time at elBulli in 2009. The yuzu sandwich, made with obulato, yuzu juice, ano zest. Technique: Made with layers of obulato bathed in yuzu juice that is later dehydrated. Inside is a Yuzu “butter” made with inulin

Daisy & Mezcalita Nitro -
Alchemist & Enigma
An interesting thing about synergy is that you realize how one thing can have many meanings.
The Margarita - a cocktail we all know - is the Spanish word for the flower Daisy - also the national flower of Denmark. So, presented as a duo: the Alchemist “Daisy” with flavors from Ferran’s favorite cocktail, Negroni, followed by Enigma’s nitro version of the Margarita - Alberts’s favorite
cocktail!
