On 6 October, we had the honour of welcoming Sebastien Ripari to Karl-Mikael on his first-ever visit to Malmö, with Karl-Mikael as his only restaurant visit in the city.
Born in Geneva and based in Paris, Sébastien is known as “the man who whispers in chefs’ ears”. With nearly 30 years of experience as a gastronomy consultant, journalist and speaker, he has worked alongside some of the world’s leading chefs at Michelin-starred restaurants.
He travelled to Malmö specifically to experience Karl-mikael johannes börjesson’s innovative tasting menu and discover his personal expression of Nordic cuisine — shaped by our coastline, our forests and the people behind our ingredients.
Our sommelier and co-founder, Jonatan, carefully matched the w**e pairing to each course.
Alongside Chef de Cuisine Johannes, sous-chef Alban Frøger 𔒝 helped bring the menu to life.
Karl-Mikael Johannes has also created a nine-serving non-alcoholic pairing, with each drink crafted to complement the menu’s Nordic flavours.
Thank you, Sebastien Ripari, for your curiosity, your insights and inspiring conversations around the table.
