An innovative playground for gastronomy Despite being located in the heart of Copenhagen, Gastronomisk Innovation is a bit of a hidden gem.

Gastronomisk Innovation’s executive chef Rasmus Leck Fischer has achieved a fair bit in his 34 years. Not only is he the author of the cookbooks Ukrudt, Snaps and Insectivore – his resume also includes jobs at a string of renowned restaurants including the Danish Michelin-star restaurants Søllerød Kro and Dragsholm Slot, as well as the Spanish three times Michelin-star restaurant Martin Berasategui. Furthermore, he is a gastronomic consultant on television programmes such as Master Chef. Founded in 2013 by the late Dorte Leck Fischer, Gastronomisk Innovation is today headed by Rasmus Leck Fischer and his father, co-founder and art and music producer Morten Henningsen. Leck Fischer, who is the brain behind the many private dinners, events and workshops, explains: “We create a broad spectrum of innovative and different food and dinner experiences. 60 | Issue 109 | February 2018
On top of that, we also have a very talented sommelier, Gin Isabel, and thanks to her we can do some superb wine tastings.” Leck Fischer is also one of the cofounders of NACL, a non-profit organisation set up to provide a playground for talented chefs. From NACL he has brought with him Julien Wincentz Risbourg, who is now his sous chef at Gastronomisk Innovation.
A hidden gem When entering the top floor of the old industrial building that houses Gastronomisk Innovation, guests are met by a raw yet charming set-up with a spacious open kitchen and large dining space. Next to the dining area stands the strikingly stylish cocktail bar of bartender and innovative spirits consultant Søren Krogh Sørensen, with whom Gastronomisk Innovation has a special
collaboration. The interior of the bar is made from a single 400-year-old walnut tree and, together with the rest of the space, provides a fantastic setting for exclusive events. “It’s a perfect setup for smaller companies wanting to do something new and memorable for their next team-building event or party,” says Fischer. Gastronomisk Innovation can host dinners for up to 72 guests, cooking events for around 24 people, and receptions for 150 people. The cocktail bar can host up to 12 guests.
