Copenhagen’s Alchemist turns dinner into a five-hour sensory show

A two-Michelin-star restaurant in Copenhagen sends guests through a five- to six-hour evening where food is only one part of the experience, and Latvia is part of the conversation.

Restaurant Alchemist in Copenhagen is built around more than the plate. A team of 100 people stages a five- to six-hour visit in which guests are meant to see, hear, feel and taste, and the restaurant holds two Michelin stars.

Chef Rasmus Munk and creative director Jon Angelo Gjetting share the work. Munk leads the kitchen; Gjetting shapes the world beyond the plate, including atmosphere, story and sensory detail. In an exclusive interview with TVNET+, published on 15 October 2026 by Receptes.lv editor Madara Stankeviča, Gjetting describes what 360-degree impressions mean in a restaurant, how they change a conventional dinner, and what an Alchemist evening might look like if it were created with Latvia as inspiration.

Reservations are hard to secure. People wait for months and are prepared to pay a four-digit sum for the multi-hour adventure.

Gjetting told TVNET+ that Alchemist is not “just” a restaurant. He called it a playground and a platform with a strong voice both inside its field and beyond it.
