The Menu of the World’s Most Expensive Restaurant
Alchemist is a two-Michelin-starred restaurant that is regarded as one of the most expensive restaurants in the world.
It is located in Copenhagen, Denmark, behind a former theatre workshop. Here, food is not just to satisfy hunger but to enter an immersive, mind-bending journey.
The menu of the world’s most expensive restaurant will leave your jaw on the floor.
You walk down a narrow hallway to meet heavy bronze doors that open onto a planetarium-style dome restuarant. Inside the restaurant is dark, and behind the kitchen counter are shining jars filled with different ingredients.
When you settle down to eat, you are brought a 40/50 course meal filled with strange meals.
Some of which includes;
- A buttery lobster claw that lingers on the palate.
- A silicone spoon in the shape of a tongue that you have to lick to discover its gooseberry and pumpkin seed flavours.
- A meal called 1984 looks like a human eye according to Financial Times.
- Herbs are arranged in the shape of Hans Christian Andersen, a Danish writer; they dissolve when soup is poured over them.
- Round snowball that, when you bite into it, tastes like a ripe tomato.
- Rabbit meat dishes
- Blood drop-shaped ice cream with QR codes for organ donation. Since 2020, nearly 13,000 guests have used the organ donation QR code.
- Chicken foot cage
- Faroese sea urchin.
- Nettle butterfly dish.
Head chef Rasmus Munk aims to create a surreal dining experience for the privileged few, with menus priced at 4600 DKK (£538/$720) per head, excluding drinks. Tickets are booked in advance and sell out quickly.
The meal portions aren’t about eating to satisfaction but having an experience with food.
