2* langoustine on the green egg at restaurant AOC in Copenhagen

Restaurant AOC is situated in the vaulted cellars of a historic brick building. The mansion Moltkes Palæ, dates back to the 17th century and truly is a hidden gem in the very centre of Copenhagen. Søren Selin's cuisine retains some elements from the classical haute cuisine, but stimulates a local cuisine that’s rooted in Danish ingredients and seasons, and a natural cuisine where the raw materials are the stars.

Are the langoustine sleeping bags gore tex?

[@roman_birdie_songwriter]

idea is great, but the execution a little bit confusing.. ok, because of your fancy diners, you have to dump the tastiest part, that is understable.. but serving it in a blanket, really? as a Chef myself, I wouldn't feel comfortable present it like this.. I also think, that the butter should be incorporated in the dish directly before cooking and not beeing put on by customer (it looks dry on the table and you wasted flavour that is created whilst cooking with fat!!). this dish focus so much on creating this "wow" effect, that it completely lost it's essence..

[@jasminderpinder]

I appreciate simplicity, but this is a little extreme and underwhelming for me.

[@bustedfender]

I bet the critics fall over themselves for this one though, maybe this should be called “the emperor’s new prawn”

[@tobiasmaiermaus]

Dunno, what you're about, there's a sauce, there's fermented cherries, do you need some parsley sprinkled on the rim of your plate?

[@frederic.marquis7361]

@@tobiasmaiermaus no, it's just a lot of cinema for a grilled langoustine !!

[@jessejamesladeroute]

cooking things correctly is hardy underwhelming when you eat it

[@jasminderpinder]

@@jessejamesladeroute Sorry, but it takes more than cooking something correctly to justify an overwhelming (and very likely over priced) taste experience. And as a chef, it's far from cooked correctly.

[@flyinghero5283]

I think I need the recipe for this amazing dish.....

[@Thunderstruck666666]

They grilled a prawn on a grill I'm truly mindblown

[@jonnyrocket3659]

the recipe here is only use the finest Maldon salt.. and I would add that you MUST use only the purest flakes of this delicious salt. They can only be mined on a Tuesday in the months of March, June and November. Mining can only be carried out between the hours of 12am and 4am and in the presence of the Holy Wizard of Salacia, and only then will the delicious saltiness come to bear. Slightly less salty that other salts on the market, the purest form of this spectacular salt is known to have significant healing properties. NASA have recently discovered that Salicin the 12th moon of Saturn, comprises 48% by volume of this precious salt, only detectable by a positive shift in radio waves in the sodium spectra, which has recently thrown world salt markets into chaos. Elon Musk has already begun plans for a 2030 reconnaissance journey to Saturn's moon to test the validity of this resource, which potentially could see a record number of worldwide restaurants reaching for 4 or even 5 Michelin Stars. We asked the World renowned Chef and Professor of Cuisine Monsieur Gordon of Ramsay to comment, but unfortunately he had to go collect Oscar from nursery at the time and refused to comment.

Where is the egg??

[@pedsgreatescape1723]

I get the preparation of it. Cleaning it out and putting it back whole again. I don't understand the final execution of the dish. One whole Langoustine in a blanket?? Why not garnish the plate and have the Langoustine be the center piece on the plate? As I say I understand the preparation of it...showing off the chefs skills but here it does no justice. It's like if I where to make a Dodine de Canard or Poulet de Bresse..old French cooking skills de-boning the chicken or duck and stuffing it and sew it up etc etc..( Which yes I can do, I am a trained a chef ). And then make slices of it on a napkin. Very strange. Sorry just my opinion.

Absolutely ridiculous

[@cs834nn]

you have forgot the sauce which makes this preparation special, hopefully ;)

So you cut it open to only salt it. By the way that looked way to much salt. This didn't make any sense. Loved the clean work. But the concept is not good.

2* and dont know what to do with this precious seafood. Its more tasty when you simply cook it whole and serve it whole. Freezing it gives out the juices and also that "unedible part" except for the intestine is what makes the head juicy. You guys should really travel to asia and experience real cooking before pretending to be amazing chef.
