I don't believe that this can be reviewed as a restaurant since the experience here is on a different dimension as the meal there is much more than food. Is all about bringing memories, emotions and thinking in what and how we eat food.I mean the guys working there must be on hallucinogens in order to create such a transformational menu. The whole experience lasts for like 5-6 hours and the service is exemplary.

Incredible and quite unique experience. Everything is design to make you enjoy as much as possible with all your senses. The professionalism of everyone is outstanding. Every dish and action is taken by waitresses at the same time which is great to watch. They call them impressions and it is definitely impressive the amount of work and how many people is behind making the evening an unforgettable one. The amount of detail is breathtaking. I asked to have alcohol free as I am breastfeeding and from that moment on everything was quickly adjusted to me seamlessly. Best for me was the omelette which literally made me cry of pleasure although I must admit I would have love to have a second bite or to have it again. And it is somehow one of those that looked very simplistic. Only critique is that the sweet moment is somehow way to long (the feeling is like if you had more than half of just sweets). Some of the thought provoking dishes such as the blood drop are definitely provoking but also not enjoyable on the mouth so after it I really needed something as good as the omelet or the bikini sandwich and it was somehow disappointing to just have sweets. I would definitely recommend to have some of the wine pairings even though we could not enjoy them but seeing the other guests having them it made us regret not to be able to order. Lastly, it is the price. The experience is definitely recommendable but it is truly expensive and one might wonder if worth it. Maybe the price could be a bit adjusted but it is indeed something I would tell people to try once in their life if they can afford it.

Seriously there is a reason why they’re the top restaurant in Copenhagen/world. Just a whirlwind of experience during the whole dinner which would roughly take you 5-6 hours leisurely. It was not dragged out but you will understand once you get inside. Don’t wanna spoil the fun but you’ll be moving a few times once you enter. There will be snacks and drinks to start, then the main room and lastly desserts. Service was top notch from the moment you enter the massive door. Visited in August 2023 and I’m going again in December 2023. You have to experience it for yourself but I’ll post some photos/videos. Yes I’ve been to noma a couple of times but alchemist has an edge.

Delicious and unique experience and tasty food. Once in a lifetime must try and see 👍🙂

Seven hours in Heaven! Packed to the limit with exciting dishes, beverages and very pleasent and knowing service. This is so much more than “just” fine dining, this is an actual experience where you get to use other parts of your body than your mouth - I loved this place! I’ve heard some people compare this place with Noma: Don’t, they are two different places and both are perfect in their own right.

Alchemist delivers impressions that lasts. Political and environmental alike the restaurant has something to say. With careful attention to detail Alchemist impresses dish (impression) after impression, room after room, with great variety and care. The dome is an amazing dining partner, mood setter and commentator. The staff was kind, attentive and acted with great precision and care. The experience was almost totally immersive but for the first part. A weird feeling of awkward uncertainty presented itself when the waiter asked us if we wanted to start with a cocktail. Yes it sounds horrendous, but bear with me: In an experience as curated and well thought of as this, I’d prefer Alchemist to design the experience on my behalf and skip this seemingly unnecessary step, perhaps bring a card with suggestions that will amplify the first impressions’ taste instead of competing with them. Not all cocktails fitted the first otherwise impressive impressions, and we felt awkward making decisions we didn’t know the scope of. If I’d known the cocktail would interfere with the tastes of the first five or so impressions, I would have chosen plain water and enjoyed the incredible creations coming from the kitchen.

It is hard to know how to talk about one's experience at Alchemist - it is theater, it is food, it is political, and it is quite astounding. Dining here will give you an experience like no other. We arrived at 6:30 p.m. and left after midnight. You arrive at the door in the middle of industrial park at the end of "nowhere", and this door has no bell, doorknob, handle, nothing. Then, it just opens in front of you. That alone should give you an inkling of what is in store for you. I cannot possibly describe all we ate and drank, so I will just give some highlights. You start in a rather dark room where there is a woman dancing - she leads you to a box, and inside the box are thin pieces of shiny paper. She pantomimes for you to eat it, which of course you do. You are then escorted into a room with seating spread out. We were lucky to get a table by the window where you can see the chefs preparing all that you will eat in this first room. And the first thing you are handed is a metal daisy, and the center is a ball of yellow. You drink it, and there is a lovely explosion of citrus with bits of yuzu ice in it. This is just amazing. You are handed an omelet - described as the best in the world. It is essentially a spherized omelet with comte cheese in the center. It is in fact the best omelet I have ever eaten. You are then escorted up a long flight of stairs to a large room topped with a dome. The dome, at the moment, has projected onto it a huge beating heart. Every so often the entire ceiling changes to something completely different - neurons, computers, colored swirling dots....it is quite something. What did we eat in this room? Uni topped with a solid black crackable top. A lobster claw made from lobster meat but fabricated. A cocktail that glowed in the dark. A tube of crispy potato topped with a soft cheesy mixture and topped with Spanish ham that looked like a flower, Thin slices of rabbit meat served on a metal rib cage. This meal is fantastical, dramatic, provocative, delicious, funny, serious, interesting, and beautiful all at once. This is an experience that I likely will never have again. You get relieved of "things that could fall off" and end up in a room full of white balls. You fall over and laugh and laugh. You get escorted to a fourth room for dessert. You get served a crunchy candy containing a golden ant, a frozen margarita in a solid square, a "tart tartin" the outside of which are wafers that glisten like gold. Finally you get in to an elevator so dramatic I will leave it for you to discover. There is only one word for this experience - remarkable.

Everything about this place is extraordinary. It's like being transported into another world for a mindful break for 5 hours. We on purpose didn't research at all before going and it was one of the best experiences of our lives. But what really stood out was the hospitality. After being moved to a couple of seats over, to accommodate an unexpected company that met each other in the lobby, which we of course was fine to do - we were rewarded with a glass of the best champagne that we have ever had. This was courtesy of the head chef, who also came to introduce the bottle and also checked that we were really ok with being moved. That kind of hospitality almost stood out the most, even if everything else was also out of this world. What an experience! Can't recommend it enough, even if it takes some saving up

Simply the best restaurant in the world. You just have to go and experience for yourself.

A completely mind-boggling, unique and altogether extraordinary experience. The holistic dining experience, which was split into 5 acts each sweeping you to a new, beautiful room, was out of this world. The many impressions were thought-provoking and insanely creative, not to mention utterly unique and each and every one of them; delicious. The food combined with the magical atmosphere and wonderful design of the place created an otherworldly sensation which left one in a perpetual state of awe and never wanting to leave. I feel so grateful and honoured to have had this experience and can only wish the same upon others. Rasmus Munk is a humble, yet brilliant chef and entrepreneur with an equally passionate and talented team by his side; you are a great inspiration! Keep blowing minds, keep provoking and keep spreading joy and wonder! ❤

Mange Tak for this extraordinary but also conclusive evening. A wounderful journey through classical art of cooking to new experiences to enjoy and think about. Thanks to the whole team and especially our sommelier for the good care and explanations from the entrance to the taxi. A really holistic ensemble of food, people and spectacle. Dont read it, try it.

The Alchemist is a culinary gem that transcends dining into a mesmerizing experience. With its innovative fusion of flavors, artful presentation, and an ambiance that feels straight out of a fairytale, dining here is nothing short of magical. Each dish is a masterpiece, meticulously crafted to tantalize the senses, while the restaurant's whimsical decor and attentive service add an extra layer of enchantment. The Alchemist truly stands alone in its ability to blend gastronomy and wonder, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a dining adventure like no other.

Undoubtedly, the most extravagant dining experience I ever had. The restaurant is located in a repurposed warehouse on a waste land à la T.S. Eliot on the outskirts of Copenhagen (not far from the homey compound of Noma). Its entrance is barred by a monumental door that only opens from the inside. We went there by bicycle on a stormy evening and the scary ride was a good conditioning for what was to come. Inside is like entering behind the mirror of Alice. It is comfortable. The service is attentive, the waiters and waitresses have the preventive kindness and expertise of Chamonix guides taking you on a mountaineering expedition. Eager to share with you their enthusiasm and passion. But everything has a twist. The 5-hour journey consists of 50 impressions. Each of them tells a story of its own. From childhood memories (amber collection on Danish beaches), to book evocations (Andersen of course, but also 1984), tributes to artists (Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol), political and environmental issues (plastics in the ocean, chicken battery farming, child labour), calls for blood donation, and culinary prouesses (the perfect omelet). And each of them is made edible, by sophisticated and very precise elaborations, which of course do not show, but try to convey the desired meaning through a vocabulary of tastes and textures, and through the gestures required to bring the food to the mouth (stabbing of big brother eye with a spoon, French kissing of Danish tongues). The experience is made complete and immersive by musical ambience and projection mapping on the dome of the main restaurant room, which evoke some of the dishes or provide open windows towards brave new worlds, like the generic images of portals and bridges on euro banknotes. It all ends in a debrief room, where the guides and the 32-year-old Chef, Rasmus Monk, who was always present behind the scenes and presided over the smooth execution of the choreography, offer you comfort drinks and ask about your impressions. With tact and humility. Finally, you go down an elevator, the massive entrance door reopens and you are out. The storm is still raging, but is loosing its drive and turning into rain. And you feel like Aladin, expelled from the cave without a magic lamp, but still under the spell of this otherworldly experience.

This is an art experience, far beyond beyond food Rasmus and the team are so dedicated to ensure the success of ultimate most experience for everyone. It is simply amazing to hear, to see, to taste, to feel, and to enjoy 3rd time in this restaurant, but definitely more to come

An absolutely amazing experience that goes beyond the experience of taste and smell impressions. Service is nothing short of amazing. An evening you will never forget.

One of the best, most skillfully-crafted meals you can get on Earth. I won't go into super detail as part of the enjoyment is the surprises along the way. And some of the dishes aren't necessarily taste (one of the desserts in particular, which even the server admitted is often not eaten due to its unusual main ingredient). I'll post some of my favourite dishes but I'll allow the excellent, expert servers to explain them. Yes, it's expensive - but this isn't a meal you'll have every day, it's a rare experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.

This was an experience of a lifetime. When I had the pleasure of experiencing this multi sense dinner, I was greeting by a personal violin mini concert after which my blidn was blown by the following hours of impressions, 50 in total!

Great food. Amazing experience. Very holistic! However, I’m quite sad that they removed my unfinished dishes during my bathroom breaks, total of 3 times.

The Alchemist is truly a once in a lifetime culinary experience which needs to be seen to be believed. Thinking back on our experience at the Alchemist, It’s all blended into one big blur. From start to finish every single one of your senses is overloaded to the max creating a near euphoric experience. You are brought from room to room to room each serving its own purpose from feeding you to turning you into art. Each of the 50 separate courses is masterfully prepared. Each with its own meaning and story. Some posing political or ethical questions. All of them pieces of art. A lot can be said about this restaurant but none of it can truly encapsulate the experience. It is just something that needs to be done at least once.

I can't stop jumping up and down from excitement after yesterdays dinner at @restaurantalchemist. If this place does not end up as the #1 restaurant in the world, I don't know what will. I can not imagine having a meal that will excite, amaze and challenge me this much ever again. Being broke for the rest of the month is definately worth it. This place is indeed completely out of this world and I feel humbled and privileged to be so lucky to have experienced it 🙏👏

Once you step in the place, you would understand why their course are called “experience”, not dinner. It was totally unique and can’t compare any other restaurants. It was amazing and awesome experience and it would keep you surprised all the time.

The experience is absolutely awesome. It's worth living. If you think this is expensive, it's not! The staff makes you feel at home. I'll be honest, I'm introverted and the experience was a little overwhelming, but for most people it will be perfect. The place is absolutely tidy and clean, the impressions are well thought and the whole act is really creative.

This is a very unique experience like entering into a new world. Alchemist and their lovely inhabitants will take you by the hand and guide you through a journey of taste, sound, smells, visuals and political brain challenges. Highly recommend. Will not share too many pictures, as it could spoil the surprise elements of this fantastic experience :)

(Translated by Google) Fantastic sensory experience, well worth the price! (Original) Fantastisk sanseoplevelse, klart prisen værd!

This is the most amazing place. You don’t get food served, they talk about 50 experiences. Must Go!

Wow ! What an experience! The combination of the food with the impressions while discussion environmental and political themes is mindblowing !! Creations of food that I’ve never heard of, never tried but turned out to be delicious!! Thanks to Jogile for her great hospitality and Christopher for showing us around in the cellar while picking our next bottle of wine! Definitely want to go back here!

The Alchemist is not a restaurant, is not comparable to any other Michelin starred restaurant. I’ve been in quite a lot started restaurants all over the world, and nothing can be compared to The Alchemist. The service is spot on, it is super friendly and really master of every single detail. The kitchen has really a lot of interesting flavors and a lot of “storytelling” as well, which adds a lot of value to me. Overall I recommend it, I won’t add any more information so everything will be a surprise for you.

(Translated by Google) Then the whole experience is settling down. There are many sensory impressions to digest. Without spoiling, you can safely say that all senses are activated - everything from eyes, nose, palate, ears, brain. So come on, open minded and get a taste experience with attitude. (Original) Så er hele oplevelsen ved at bundfælde sig. Det er mange sanseindtryk at fordøje. Uden at spoile kan man roligt sige at alle sanser bliver aktiveret - alt fra øjne, næse, gane, ører, hjerne. Så kom, open minded og få en smagsoplevelse med holdning.

I can fault nothing. The personnel, the food, the experience. Thought provoking and insightful. I would gladly go again. I would recommend this experience til anyone with an open mind... or who wants to have their mind opened.

I was able to snag a reservation for my birthday and I’m so happy I did. Alchemist takes fine dining to an even more elevated level and raises questions as to how we behave as consumers. Definitely add this at or near the top of your fine dining bucket list as you’re going to have a hard time finding anything else like this.

What an amazing night! If you are a food enthusiast who is getting bored of ordinary fine dining experiences, this would be a perfect place for you. Definitely opt for the exclusive wine pairing option. You will not regret it. Every dish is full of amusement yet philosophical. Go and have fun!

This was a very fun and entertaining experience. Like nothing I can compare it with. The service was brilliant. Our sommelier from California San Diego was such a fun person with great explanation of wine. I will remember this night for a long time.

It deserves 12 stars. It's amazing! Everything, from the building to the music, food, images, impressions, and service. We were very lucky to be hosted by Mireilla, it was so much fun!

(Translated by Google) Insane and mega mega mega good. These are some amazing spaces, delicious dishes and wonderful compositions. Can only recommend a visit.

(Translated by Google) If I could I would have given 1000 stars 😍🙏 (Original) Hvis jeg kunne havde jeg givet 1000 stjerner 😍🙏

As with art everything at the Alchemist is not meant to be enjoyed. I read in some of the previous reviews that it's hard to review the Alchemist as a restaurant. I wholeheartedly agree. The range of experiences go from exceptional cuisine via explicitly provoking to enjoyably playful. I felt that the initially introduced theme could have been explored deeper for an even more foundational experience - now at times we were highly engaged and at other times passive spectators. Overall a unique experience.

Wow. What’s an experience. Roughly 6 hours and 50+ courses (which included pairing). Super unique and tasty. Amazing environments. Impeccable service. Nothing like it anywhere I’ve been.

Out of this world once in a lifetime must do foodie experience!!! Also one of the 50 best restaurants in the world!

(Translated by Google) Absolutely amazing experience (Original) Helt fantastisk oplevelse

(Translated by Google) Expectations were towering, and of course Alchemist lived up to it completely. It's not just your sense of taste that gets spoiled. All dishes were excellent in their own way. My personal favorite was the fish and seafood. (1st scene) You will first be greeted by a violinist who will start your journey. Then you get, a lot of visual impressions. No need to spoil the whole experience as you simply have to experience it all for yourself! A small selection of the dishes as well as the wines that were included in our wine menu. The dome is an experience in itself with beautiful colorful themes in the ceiling, which change in between. From welcome to farewell, all employees performed. Friendly, smiling, enlightening, perfectionist. As if they themselves were the owner of the place. I have eaten at the other two great restaurants in Copenhagen, which I also gave 5 stars. Alchemist is the winner in the three-leaf clover. You pay a little more at Alchemist, but it was all worth it. (Original) Forventningerne var tårnhøje, og selvfølgelig levede Alchemist fuldstændig op til det. Det er ikke kun din smags sans, som bliver forkælet. Alle retter var fremragende på hver deres måde. Min personlige favorit var fish and seafood. (1st. scene) Du bliver først mødt af en violinist, som starter din rejse. Herefter får du, en masse visuelle indtryk. Ingen grund til at spoile hele oplevelsen, da du simpelthen er nødt til, at opleve det hele selv! Et lille udpluk af retterne samt de vine, som indgik i vores vinmenu. Domen er en oplevelse i sig selv med flotte farverige temaer i loftet, som skiftes i mellem. Fra velkomst til afsked performede samtlige ansatte. Venlige, smilende, oplysende, perfektionistiske. Som om de selv var ejer af stedet. Jeg har spist på de to andre store restauranter i København, som jeg også gav 5 stjerner. Alchemist er vinderen i det trekløver. Du betaler lidt mere på Alchemist, men det var det hele værd.

Once in a life time experience

Words can not describe this experience. If you are lucky enough to get a reservation you are in for a treat for all senses.

Amazing experience. Beautiful restaurant on the inside. Excellent food of high quality. Might challenge you in some ways, but that is on purpose. Had the medium wine pairing and it was really good and matched really nice to the food.

Before visiting I'd been told of personal experiences and read reviews. I still did not know what I was in for - this is an experience which is difficult to describe in advance. So I won't even try. I'll just tell you to be prepared for a magical experience, where tastes, smells, visuals, lighting, materials, acoustics and ambience all play together in harmony, with no detail too small to have been overlooked, to provide a unique experience beyond any restaurant experience anywhere else, ever before. An incredible vision, wonderfully executed.

I love this recipe, and while I can see why some people were not happy with it, you just have to remember this is not an "American" bolognese. In our house we are garlic lovers and yes, I added garlic. Also, followed the one suggestion and cooked the tomato paste with the veggies to caramelize it, then removed them while I browned the meat. THEN brought everyone back to the party. Yes, it took longer to simmer to get the right texture but once it did, it's amazing. However, next time I make this recipe, I WILL add some herbs, I agree it needs some. And will do a little seasoning in the beginning (careful not to over-salt). We love this dish and I make it at least once a year - double batch - so I can freeze some for later.

Nothing short of amazing. Fantastic. And expensive of course.

Probably the best restaurant I have ever been to. If you're willing to pay for it, it is definitely worth every penny. Food on point. Service on point. Atmosphere on point. It's not a taste experience. It's an experience for all of the senses. I can not recommend this enough!

The single best food experience I have ever had. It’s not just the venue, the people, the creativity, the beauty of the food, the taste of the food, how some of the servings push your boundaries and the amazing wine, the service, the service, the service and all the rest. No, it is the way that this complete experience is orchestrated from the moment you arrive to the moment you exit. Rasmus Munk and his team demonstrates their vision and communicate it to us in the most beautiful way I could ever imagine. Just wow!!

An experience like nothing else. This place really challenges what gastronomy can be. Loved it and 100% worth the money

💯/ 💯 Thanks to Catarina, Canadian Waitress, Rasmus and all the rest 🙏🏽

If your are in Copenhagen, this is a must! Great experience!

(Translated by Google) Possibly the greatest gastronomic experience in Copenhagen at the moment, or perhaps in the whole world. It's so much more than a great meal, it's an all night experience. Everything plays and is well thought out, from service, wine pairing and food to decor, lighting and sound. The food is crisp and exciting even though the concept is looser than usual. But it suits the loose and fantastic atmosphere. (Original) Muligvis den største gastronomiske oplevelse i København for tiden, eller måske i hele verden. Det er så meget mere end et fantastisk måltid, det er en helaftens oplevelse. Alt spiller og er gennemtænkt, fra service, vinparring og mad til indretning, lys og lyd. Maden er skarp og spændende selvom konceptet er løsere end normalt. Men det passer til den løse og fantastiske stemning.

Absolutely amazing experience

The best experience I had at a restaurant (yet).

Amazing experience. No disapointment.

(Translated by Google) Ok experience with good food. Maybe a little exaggerated by spice in the real world (Original) Ok oplevelse med god mad. Måske lidt overdrevet af krydderi på den virkelige verden

Just amazing.. the whole experience is so special from beginning to end! Yes some of the approximately 50 servings are weird and less tasty than others, but it challenges you to think different! Everybody should allow themselves this experience at least once

Rating Alchemist is hard as you can not judge it against other restaurants, as it would not be fair to the other restaurants. In a league of its own in the city of Copenhagen`and beyond.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely fantastic food and service. Huge praise to the Croatian servant we did not get the name of. He alone should get 5 stars. Thank you for an unforgettable evening. (Original) Helt fantastisk mad og service. Kæmpe stor ros til den kroatiske tjener vi ikke fik navnet på. Han burde alene få 5 stjerner. Tak for en uforglemmelig aften.

Worth every, single, penny. Go in with an open mind and enjoy. Highlight of my year and would highly recommend (if you can get a table!)

Food was really good. Service staff was great as well.

Wonderful experience

In a former warehouse that's entirely sealed from natural light, Alchemist takes dining to epic proportions: 50 immersive courses served in five rooms over six hours. One space replicates the sights and sounds of New York City; in another, guests watch the chefs working with hi-tech, lab-like equipment in front of jars of freeze-dried ingredients (pictured). There's an air of rebellion at this Copenhagen joint. Young-gun chef Rasmus Munk's experimental plates range from fun – solid G&Ts; white fermented-tomato snowballs – to shocking and confrontational. Cod jaw is topped with pickled dill and edible plastic; chicken feet protrude from a tiny cage; lamb's brain is sliced at the table; a dish of sharp ice chunks floating in red liquid is named 'blood diamond'. Everything can be made for vegans, including the brain, replaced with Jerusalem-artichoke purée and coated in cherry sauce. In the domed main room – where dreamlike overhead projections change from an aurora-borealis-filled sky to jellyfish drifting beside plastic bags – diners are invited to kiss strawberries and edible petals off a rubber tongue. Elsewhere, apple-sauce 'antibiotics' are injected into a morsel of pork. In an age when food consumption has become an environmental issue, Munk is using the plate as his platform to speak out. A night here might just spark the most interesting dinner conversations you've ever had. By Clare Vooght
