Scandinavian Punky Caviar

What is it?

Punk Royale is a fine-dining restaurant experience that started in Sweden in 2017 and has expanded to Oslo and Copenhagen during the past years. From the moment you arrive, the adventure begins: your phone is taken away and a smoke machine fills the room. The decor includes for example: Lego pieces on the table and a laundry rack in the corner to complete the scene.

There is no fixed menu: the food changes daily or weekly, with ingredients sourced locally and paired with a set of drinks, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The price? Their tasting menu ranges from 150-180 euros, with drinks included, and consists of “more dishes than you can count.”

Why is it cool?

• Punky Caviar: When you sit down, the first dish is caviar which is served with a spoon and you eat it from your arm and complete with a shot of vodka.
• Engaging Staff: The unique “you had to be there feeling”, anything can happen at any time. The staff engages with you, drinks, takes off and waves their shirts, and throws things to you from the kitchen.
• Unconventional Presentation: When the horse tartar is served, the chef wears a horse mask and serves it on a horse betting slip.
• Surprise Plates: The tuna dish is topped with ashes and the cigarette is still on the plate. The duck pate is served with a rubber duck sitting next to it on the plate.

• Naked Chef Attire: Chefs can be naked and just wearing an apron sometimes.

Why does it have future growth potential?

The Punk Royal concept thrives because people are looking for unique experiences. Fine dining will always exist, but some people might not feel comfortable in a luxurious and quiet environment. Visiting Punk Royale is about enjoying a culinary experience unlike any other in the world.
