northernmost Michelin restaurant

YOU can only get there by boat or

Poul Andrias Ziska hopes his
restaurant in remote Greenland, far
above the Arctic Circle, is worth the journey.

The 30-year-old chef relocated his
restaurant KOKS from the Faroe Islands in
mid-June, leaving behind his relatively
accessible address for Ilimanaq, a hamlet of 50
inhabitants hidden behind icebergs on the
69th parallel north.

Housed in a narrow black wooden house,
one of the oldest in Greenland, the restaurant
can only accommodate about 20 people per
service, and experiments with local produce,
including whale and seaweed, with fresh
produce almost impossible to find in the harsh
climate.

“We try to focus on as much Greenlandic
products as possible, so everything from
Greenland halibut to snow crabs to musk ox to
Ptarmigan, different herbs and different
berries,” the tousled-haired, bearded chef tells
AFP.

The young chef previously ran KOKS at
home in the remote Faroe Islands, where he
won his first star in 2017, his second in 2019,
and the title of the world’s most isolated
Michelin restaurant.

He plans to return there for a permanent
installation, but explains he had always
wanted to stretch his gastronomical legs in
another territory in the far north, like Iceland,
Greenland or even Svalbard.

He finally chose Ilimanaq, located an
hour’s boat trip from Ilulissat, the third-largest
town in Greenland and famous for its huge
glacier.
