SpaceVIP to offer Michelin restaurant dishes for $495K ticket
Munk’s innovative Copenhagen restaurant is known for its lamb’s brain in cherry sauce and 'Bikini Toast' filled with Gruyére cheese and Joselito ham
Forget the early days of Tang and squeeze-tube turkey or freeze-dried spaghetti and meatballs on the International Space Station.
Travelers aboard SpaceVIP’s Neptune capsule who pay $495,000 for the journey to Earth’s stratosphere will be treated to a menu prepared by innovative Danish chef Rasmus Munk, Arabian Business reports.
With the maiden six-hour flight scheduled for the second half of 2025, SpaceVIP founder Roman Chiporukha says interest from the UAE has been particularly strong. The vehicle, suspended from a giant balloon, is built by Florida-based Space Perspective.
Though the menu hasn’t been finalized yet, Munk’s Michelin-starred Alchemist restaurant in Copenhagen is known for such dishes as lamb’s brain in walnut oil and cherry sauce, rhubarb gazpacho and “Bikini Toast” filled with Gruyére cheese and Joselito ham.
“I want to highlight food as a common thread in our human existence, and it will be truly meaningful to serve it while gazing down at the Earth’s curvature,” Munk said.
