Our story
We are perfectionists to the fingertips, and always strive to refine and develop our craft.
The heritage
Our tale begins with Karen Blixen's "Babette’s Feast": Babette is a french refugee, who agrees to work as a servant, in a religious family, in a conservative society. One day she wins the lottery and wants to pay back to the society that raised her, and offers to cook a French meal for them. Through fantastic food, she manages to create an almost euphoric vibe, which loosens up the pressured and conservative mood.
For more than 30 years we have catered to parties, from the intimate dinner in private, to huge parties with more than 3.000 people - but no matter the size we have always been known for precision, humility, stability and great hospitality. Babette the servant chose to prioritize one last perfect meal to her guests. As do we.
Small fish,
big responsibility
We cater to lots of people every year, which leaves us with a big responsibility. We have carefully selected our partners and make sure every ingredient is traceable all the way to the initial origin. We always strive to select local ingredients and our fish comes from the wild and are gently fished with respect of the ecosystem and Mother Nature.
