The Insane Dinner at The World's Most Remote Restaurant

[@padenvan]

If Julian Slowik taught me anything, it’s that you NEVER go to a secluded restaurant in the middle of nowhere by boat to a place ran by a highly methodical brilliant chef.

[@aaronmeade5435]

Haha thats a very good reason

[@WildRapier]

Yes Chef!

[@deadpuddle86]

That's the first thing I thought when I saw this! Don't stay for dessert! LMAO

[@CrypticCocktails]

Ask for the cheeseburger

[@lorencalfe6446]

the menu did to chefs what jaws did to sharks.

[@boarbot7829]

It’s 600 dollar if you don’t stay in the hotel, and around 900 if you do. If anyone was wondering

[@vito6397]

Wouldn't say affordable but cheaper than I expected, definitely not out of reach for a once in a lifetime experience

[@childofcascadia]

Yeah. I mean $600 for fine dining in one of the remotest places on earth is not too bad. I mean, even if they use Greenlandic ingredients they still have to ship them to the restaurant.

[@erik3371]

They said they restaurant expe started at the transfer so which one includes that cost?

[@aryangoyal9556]

This video and the restaurant in general give off strong "The Menu" movie vibes. I wouldn't even be surprised if they killed all the customers off at the end and used them as ingredients for the next meal. 🎥🔪🍔

[@Hollis_has_questions]

Why would they do that? The customers are not part of the local terroir. I'd rather have reindeer blood and whale blubber than tourist blood and blubber.

[@Mangolite]

@aryangoyal9556 I also came to make The Menu reference, but what makes this horror film unique is that it does not resort to cannibalism, and that is why it is a great subversion.

[@davidorvinhnno3184]

[@manuelgebhardt7470]

as soon as he ate the snacks on the boat I already thought "Wait, isn't this like the Menu?"

[@sophiechiewtrakoon]

Even though this is so reminiscent of the restaurant in The Menu…new bucket list destination!

[@redeye1016]

Not every high end restaurant in a beautiful remote location deserves to be compared to or dismissed as like The Menu. This clearly is none of that and people really living off the land

[@mjung7331]

ISNT IT! But he come back

[@ItsSomeDeadGuy]

​​@@redeye1016There are definitely superficial similarities, so one can be forgiven for making the comparison. However, the food here isn't served with the level of contempt for the diner that The Menu parodied. It's playful and has "weird" ingredients but it's more tasteful and down to Earth than some of the weird shit you see in these restaurants.

[@vatsalsrivastav5175]

did you get the reservation? cuz i went to the website and it seems all the seats are reserved upto 100 years

[@mjung7331]

yeah so that too @@vatsalsrivastav5175

[@Wahidfelty]

I have to say, it made me really feel blown away by humanity. Using local ingredients, and local food, bringing sustainable economic development to this village, showcasing its history (UNESCO World Heritage Site) without turning it into something trashy and commercialized but staying true to its spirit. This is an amazing example for the world.

[@jkyayfan123]

[@mq-r3apz291]

Wow isolated resteraunt just like the one from THE MENU! XD

[@Mangolite]

The food started in the boat before reaching a remote town of 50; it gave me The Menu vibe. I hope they don't have a secret menu with a course called The Mess or Tyler's Bullshit because that wing dish reminded me of Julian Slowik's angel investor.

[@Udontkno7]

Felt the exact same way about the wings.

[@ceyx1201]

[@aurorefffff]

The ptarmigan looked exactly like the island from the menu

[@timsrensen5087]

Ahh awesome, i was there just a week ago! Razor beak and sunchoke were definitely my favorites. We came with helicopter, straight from 18 days in a tent camp doing field work and eating canned food- the contrast was just mind blowing. We sailed back to Ilulissat in the evening, rough seas, weaving past massive icebergs, just epic. Great video, you really captured the essence of the place! Hope you got too see some of the whales and other wild life while you were there!

[@SuperZbros]

I’m sure lmao

[@jdodd1210]

​@SuperZbros yeah it's a huge flex but why instantly doubt everyone 😂

[@SuperZbros]

Because the odds of someone who lives that type of lifestyle spouting off so hoity-toity in a KZbin comment section is exceptionally low, and even what’s said is true, it’s tone deaf, if you can’t see that you’re tone deaf too and it’s not worth explaining to you, you’re either normal and can see it or you’re broken and you can’t lmao.

[@ligier]

thank you so much! yeah it's definitely one of the videos i'm proudest of!!

[@jeremiah2889]

I love these videos! Interesting to see the different types of greenlandic food & how each one is presented, just amazing to see how all unique these restaurants are, not just for the food but how they embrace culture & how each are differently designed, how you get there, stay & how the experience was. I think I’d be worried in the back of my mind thinking about a certain movie where they also took a boat to a remote restaurant.. btw your cute 🤭

[@ricericericericericerice]

now THIS is a dining experience. An actual beautiful journey to and from the restaurant. The presentations on those dishes were spectacular!

[@chrollokletvenik]

This is a type of kitchen I strive to work in, absolutely amazing presentation, flavor profiles and the fact it represents the local cuisine with a michelin twist

[@xiaoxiang226]

i know im childish when i laughed at koks

[@enlilly2405]

The food looks marvelous. But it can only be a one in a life time experience because I don't think if I ever spend money to still feel hungry.

[@crazymf7041]

It’s a 19 course meal, you’re not going to feel hungry afterward. All of those portions add up to a satisfying and satiating meal.

[@ilikealotofthings731]

​@@crazymf7041That last course may involve a lot of fire and possibly death

[@lafemmerowena]

This is about 1185 dollars but it only has 19 dishes.. I would definitely do the interesting and eccentric one in Denmark, I believe. 1000 dollars, 7 hours and 50 dishes. Eye opening too! 🙂

[@bastikroll2023]

whats the name of the restaurant you mean?

[@tdoginthehouse3906]

Alchemist

[@DumpeNordlie]

​@@bastikroll2023The 50 course restaurant is called Alchemist, it's located in Copenhagen and the chef is Esben Holmboe Bang. One of the most renowned and memorable spots in the world.

[@TheKikori]

The dishes are $470 (without Wine/Juice), the difference is for the travel and stay

[@sherylfrey5807]

Such a well made journey to Koks! I enjoyed every second of the video. I felt like it was a great presentation. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

[@leonardferrer5210]

Pretty sure they'll serve cheeseburger in the end and set you free

[@bnb2001]

After watching this video last year, i made plans for this wild journey to Greenland and Koks, and I just came back home from Ilulissat and Ilimanaq. Without doubt, this meal was spectacular and one of the most outstanding and unique i’ve experienced. Delicious and coherent from start to finish, and in harmony with its special setting. I heard that there is no commercial whaling in greenland and there are quotas for the locals at one or couple of whales per settlement. The birds used in the menu were also shot by local hunters, and ice carved from icebergs by locals. I didnt know much abt Greenland before this video and came for this meal. I went away in awe with Koks and in love with the land. I would love to visit Greenland again, and to Koks when it reopens in the Faroe Islands. Thanks for the video and this wonderful experience.

[@yamchayaku]

serious question: How much did it cost for the entire experience?

[@jamie___steele]

from their website a standard suite & single person experience is 8300 danish krone which is about $1185

[@jamie___steele]

(but that doesn’t include the plane ticket & boat ride)

[@yamchayaku]

@@jamie___steele Interesting. Normally I'm a bit iffy about astronomically expensive experiences. I have no doubt the food is good, but I've been to many high end restaurants and more often than not, the quality of the food has not met the price they ask for.

[@kc3075]

@@jamie___steele honestly, for two meals and a night of lodging, not too bad! might consider going

[@jimmynodean]

[@EricFosterMedia]

At the end of your video you asked, "Was it worth it?" In order to determine the answer we need to know what was spent! So, how much did this meal/adventure cost?

[@andeleon6838]

True. I wonder why he dint mention the price at all

[@HimanshuSharma-oy9ss]

I'm sitting here in my room with my mouth open, totally awestruck and thoroughly inspired by every single piece of that culinary art. I mean this is truly special. I feel emotional right now.

[@roems6396]

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really want to eat fish or shrimp heads.

[@Yachirobi]

Most of that menu scares me but I'd try it all. But speaking as a hearty meat eater,geez, that's a lot of animal. I hope nothing was endangered. Especially the whale. I wouldn't be comfortable eating whale meat.

[@alenaloiselle3604]

Yes. Iceland has not exactly been very kind to the whales. Here's hoping the recent suspension of whaling leads to a permanent end to the practice.

[@YesYes-eu7hc]

I love how BIG and LONG the course dinner is from KOKS

[@luisgonzaleztapia1830]

I don't have the adjectives to properly express how magnificent Greenland is, or how much I'd love to (slowly and appreciatively) eat everything I've just seen. And I love adjectives.

[@CossackGene]

This is a restaurant that showcases indigenous cuisine (how well it does that, and whether it's fair for the head chef to not be from Greenland himself, may be debatable). But it is pretty clearly not just like The Menu. Like where are y'all getting sinister vibes here

[@medbii]

See now The Menu warned me about going to a remote island to eat at a restaurant

[@Evy23]

Oh I visited KOKS in 2015 but on the Faroes. Was very good but dinner takes over 3 hours. Highly recommend and this Greenland move seems also very cool. Haven't tried the Greenland location but the Faroe Island one was very interesting. Lots of locally sourced delicacies.

[@Buster475]

The colors and videography are just outstanding. Thank you for taking me on this journey.

[@palle17lund]

Ohh i was there last year :) just the trip to get there was amazing. When i was there, there were 1 person who gagged at the Ptarmigan (feather dish) and a couple who barely ate anything :O My favorite dish i had was Yakotori BBQ'ed Whale meat, with incredible demiglace

[@luvvjulia21917]

Remind me of the movie called THE MENU

[@Neosoul_prima]

Honestly aperitifs on a boat ride over, lodging, dinner, breakfast, and lunch... is 3 stars worthy! My question is... what were the beverages being served during the meal, and how much was it

"Where did you eat today?" "Koks" "..."

Clearly the people who are worried about too litte food aren’t familiar with Michelin style tasting menus. You get tons of courses and wine with every course so that one hour or so you are totally drunk and won’t be hungry anyway.

Because he didn't bother talking about money in the video I figured I've leave a comment for point of reference. Just the reservation cost for the restaurant is in the ballpark of 500$ per person and that doesn't include what will likely be very high travel costs unless you live in iceland or greenland, so yeah.

[@hennessy777]

By Michelin Guide's definition, the food is not worth the trip? It has to be 3 star to be worth taking a special trip. 2 star means only a small detour

I might be wrong but a 3 star rating is only if you have an extensive wine collection

[@gaspernyiti2253]

[@neojb1989]

I liked the video but I wish you would describe the food more in terms of taste and less in terms of like, physical aspects. Like the mussle candy you basically said it was very mussley, and the onion fudge you said it was very fudgey :P Like yea, we get that! But tell me more! What's it taste like compared to other candies? Is it sweet? Bitter? Caramelly like sugar or like a toffee? I think it was the fish or the bird you mainly just said it was tender, but i'd love to know how it compared to other meats. Other birds even, is it like quail? Duck? Chicken? Beautifully shot and edited video, but the descriptions of the food being just very on the nose was a little bit of a let down. I'd like to try and like get a sense of almost being able to taste the food from watching one of these kinds of videos, and I only really got the sensation of the foods.
