Commitment to sustainability gets my respect. Looking forward to dining at your restaurant.

This food looks incredible! A head chef of a vegan restaurant who is not vegan is a really interesting dynamic. Very impressive work, would love to try the vegan foie gras!

[bxdge]

I'm booking a flight to Copenhagen!

[SubManifest]

I’ve thought this exact thing too as a chef. I’d only open a plant based restaurant if I did

[jeetdeshmukh]

Now that's a Michelin star, well deserved!

[meherbalsara]

Very very interesting esp since I am such a foodie ! Unique dishes

[bobbykeene]

Man, I wish we could have seen what went it the preparation of those three main dishes- I wonder what the sauce was made from that goes on the mushroom while it's being grill? Oh well, maybe on your next visit!

Super interesting episode being vegetarian it was heartening to know chefs taking so much trouble to go the extra mile.

[zaraparekh]

So impressive to be given a Michelin star as a vegan restaurant! Would love to visit and try the foie gras!

[rishadmehta]

I love this episode but I maybe biased?

[katrinlausch]

True a Michelin star is not a Michelin Green Star, in case you can have the maximum three Michelin stars plus an extra Michelin green star

[matty]

Are you allowed to call it Michelin kitchen when they have a green star, it’s not the official star that everyone knows about. But great click bait
