    This is one of the most amazing dishes I have ever eaten in my life. It may not look like munch, but it's seriously amazing.
    For everyone talking about the size of the dish, king crab is very expensive and hard to catch; and the cream they use there comes from one farm of just a few dairy cows, which he only uses a couple a year.
    Also, the meal is like 30 courses and 4 hours long, you are full beyond comprehension by the end of it, it can't be any larger than that.

      Might be nitpicking a bit now but the restaurant is actually located more in the middle of Sweden rather then the "north part". The location is approximately 100 miles north of the middle of Sweden =).

    small portion small portion... all you people saying that sound like idiots and don't understand what this realm of food is about. its about a deeper experience and connection to your taste and the relationships of different flavors and textures guided by a master chef. this isn't a 10 dollar chicken shawarma plate meant to make you full as fuck. these kinda of restaurants are something everyone should experience but just dont think that you are going to red lobster.... enjoy it. don't let your fixation ruin an amazing tasting for you.

      Well I think part of the reason that some of the comments on here come off as so angry is that there are many many people on here who will really never be able to afford food like this. It's truly not in the realm of what these people will ever be able to experience.
      I think we should change that.

      @@tobiasmaiermaus There was a TV show in the UK recently -- either the BBC or Channel 4 or something -- in which a chef opened up a restaurant in a Northern town, just outside Liverpool, in which no restaurant had operated for decades. He tried to introduce food, not quite like this, but good bistro fare -- think Keller's _Bouchon_ . It went surprisingly well, and he made it affordable by using local sourcing.
      I agree with you entirely. It can absolutely be changed, and should.

      In reality the reasons are most likely:
      1. Texture, the open ends of the meat might not be as tender as the middle section.
      2. Consistency. He's playing a few dozen of them, it would drive Chef Magnus NUTS if they were different because he cannot control the consistency. That's what stars and accolade are about.
      3. Chef testing bites/training notes.
      Does it make sense to most? No. Then again most people aren't paying 3k to travel to a 1k dinner lol

    As for the actual dish, every time I make this for someone new, they can't believe how two familiar ingredients with almost no accoutrement can produce something completely novel and delicious. The time, money and effort to enjoyment quotient is at the top of the range.
