The Bizarre 50 Course, 7 Hour Long, $1000 Meal at Alchemist

Показать описание
Alchemist in Copenhagen has 2 Michelin stars, is #20 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list and is one of the craziest meals I've ever had. It's 50 courses, 7 hours long, and costs nearly $1000 per person, but is it worth it?

We host virtual and in person events, have an annual party for top tier members, and you'll even get the chance to try my cooking 😤

Feels like “The Menu”. Like, really feels like it. From the cursed music to weird food, to orderly staff.

This Restaurant definitely has "The Menu" vibe to it

Imagine if the first meal is actually a poison and bits of the antidote was distributed throughout the rest of 49 meals

A recurring theme I’ve noticed about all these rich avant-garde experiences is that they try to make commentary or statements with their cuisines/fashion items/art etc., but every conclusion they draw is the most surface level, hamfisted take that a middle schooler rushing to finish an essay 2 hours before it’s due would come up with.

The only type of crazy expensive rich person restaurant I would ever agree with. Its brimming with creativity, and its most definetly more than a meal. Its an experience to remember forever, on top of quality product. Its not some lazy added gold leaf and random expensive ingredients to hike up the price, its actual work and care, and definetly love. Especially if the resaurant changes the experience e v e r y season. Crazy.

for 7 hours, 50 insane courses that produces a once in a lifetime event, 1k I think is a fair price - seen and heard of dishes that are several hundred dollars a pop but certainly wouldnt leave an impression like this would. I can totally see why this sells out in 3 seconds or whatever it is.

This feels like a plot for a horror movie, where you eat the entire menu then the last meal is the customer before you.
Edit: There's been tons of replies suggesting me to watch it. No, I won't watch it. I don't care if it has flying ponies or gives enlightenment.
Edit 2: Even with the edit there's still tons of people commenting it's not a horror film so I can watch it. Still don't care. I don't want to watch it.

Theres an extreme irony with most of the dishes being about unethical food practices, while also serving foie gras, one of the most controversial foods out there.

This looks more like an art project rather than fine dining

As someone who’s maybe not in the best place mentally right now I can’t tell if this would be kind of freeing and fun or just a literal nightmare that would send me spiralling.
It’s cool, it’s an experience but it’s also tinged with a lot of horror and guilt

I don't see myself paying 1000 dollars for an existential crises at each dish lol. And the whole idea of them making you "free" a chicken leg to then eat it while they're also serving fois gras is hilarious

Dang thank you for making this. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to experience a Michelin starred restaurant but I feel like you really let me into one here. This is so good

Having visions of wealthy people eating the dishes in a panic, trying to convince others that they're able to "feel" and convey some kind of empathy at these themes.

i’m well aware of the criticisms that could be made here, but as a lifelong enjoyer of freaky modern art in all its forms, this captivates me. i adore the idea of an art experience this interactive and unapologetically weird

There's a lot of irony here, which I understand and appreciate. But the fact that this is directed more toward rich people that can afford this food makes me wonder if these strong points are actually going to sink into them and let them think about the world outside of the restaurant. Also, if these people aren't super unsettled by the experience, then I doubt they got the point of it.

I'm just imagining a customer here wearing a 🎩 and a monocle, sipping on a cup of tea with the pinky extended saying "oh hoho, how novel, microplastics! Yes I do vaguely remember this being an issue, I do hope the poor folks this affects manage to resolve the situation."

This for me is the best video ever made about Alchemist. You really took me to the restaurant with you. Now I’m gonna go watch The Menu movie for the extended version 😄

Course is about to end. You are happy and full and the host comes up and say "I hope you liked the food, now more music from our violinist"

I love how perfectly the movie The Menu kinda critiques this kind of decadent out there food. Like, I can see them pretending to be so environmentally conchious and critical of the establishment but from the way this thing is most likely run and priced at, it IS the establishment cosplaying as rebels. It's what happened to the simpsons when they became what they critisized so heavily before. It kinda feels like a joke. Only rich people can play with their food in these decadent ways. so if they actually dared to be self aware, the last course would be nothing but a plate called something like: World hunger or something like it. Or even better, have the entire menu be nothing for the experience as you ask guests to come hungry and let em eat clay to feel full like starving ppl do in desperate situations. that'd at least be a worthy critique of the establishment especially tied to food.
