When arriving at Iris, visitors are first shown a video spotlighting the threats to the global foodsystem, before being escorted to the underwater culinary experience. While there is no set menu, each ingredient in the 18-course meal reads like a story. “A story about the challenges and threats to the global food system,” noted Iris, “but also with ideas and suggestions for future innovations, that can help bring us closer to solving them.”
The 2022 comedy-horror film, The Menu, naturally comes to mind, when thinking of an unusual, and highly secluded dining experience like Iris. However, according to Norwegian opera singer Mari Eriksmoen, she’d been to many Michelin restaurants over the years, but never “anything like this,” hailing it as the “most extraordinary restaurant experience” of her life so far.
As would be expected for a restaurant like this, Iris is not cheap and will cost roughly $300 USD per person. Please visit Iris’ website for more information on how to book a reservation.
