Chic, monochromatic Geist is owned by celebrity chef Bo Bech, a man driven by experimentation. His long list of small plates pairs Nordic and non-Nordic ingredients in unexpected, often thrilling ways. Create your tasting menu from dishes like wafers of avocado with lightly salted caviar, turbot and fennel ravioli with gruyère, or out-of-the-box desserts like poached apple with mustard seed and sweet and sour mandarin.
