Fjordenhus is located on the water and opened its doors in 2018. The building and the LYST restaurant were both created in close collaboration with Danish-Icelandic artistOlafur Eliasson. It is a unique building made to be different with zero straight-angled walls, and the chosen colours were chosen toreflect the sky and the ocean. Inside, the art is exceptional yet minimalistic. The well-anticipated restaurant LYST opens its doors in the Fall of2019. It is a unique restaurant with the potential of being unlike anything ever seen before in Denmark because of its iconic location,high-end culinary experienceandbelow-the-sea-surface extensive wine cellar. The philosophy of LYST is to tie gastronomy, art, architecture, and environmental responsibility together. The restaurant seats only30 people, ensuring a unique dining experience from the beginning to the end. The ingredients at LYST arecarefully selectedand chosen from the Mid- and South of Jutland to ensure staying rooted locally. The building is anchored inVejle Fjord, just as the restaurant is in the local life surrounding Jutland. Working closely with Olafur Eliasson, the kitchen ensures to capture the essence of the building and bring it to life within the culinary arts. A daily changing menuinspired by weather, time, seasons and cultivation, guarantees a unique experience, which will consist of twenty locally sourced servings, all rooted in the four elements ofwater, fire, air and earth. All dishes are locally sourcedingredients, and to achieve maximum sustainability, they source all their ingredients within a 100-mile radius of the restaurant.
