1 You can only get there by boat orhelicopter， but star chef Poul AndriasZiska hopes his restaurant in remote Greenland， far above the Arctic Circle， isworth the journey.

2 The 31yearoldchef relocated hisrestaurant KOKS in mid Junelast year.Housed in a  narrow black wooden house， which is one of the oldest in Greenland， therestaurant can  only accommodate about 20 people per service， and experiments with localproduce， including seaweed. Actually， it is almost impossible to find fresh produce in theharsh  climate.“We try to focus as much on Greenlandic products as possible， everythingfrom  Greenland halibut to snow crabs to musk oxen to ptarmigan， different herbs and  differentberries，”said Poul.

3 The young chef previously ran KOKS at home in the remote Faroe Islands， where  hewon his first star in 2017， his second in 2019， and the title of The World’s Most  IsolatedMichelin Restaurant. Poul explained he had always wanted to stretch his  gastronomicallegs in another territory in the far north， like Iceland， Greenland or even  Svalbard and he finally chose Ilimanaq， which is famous for its huge glacier.

4“ The menu is exquisite and sends you to the far north and back，”said DevidGualandris， a charmed visitor.“From the freshly caught fish and shellfish to the curateddesserts， everything is filled with flavor.”

5 Ilimanaq， which means“place of hope”in Greenlandic， is home to a small com?munity located in picturesque wooden houses. An excellent restaurant appeared here，making it an ideal stopover for wealthy tourists seeking to explore new frontiers.

6 For Poul， the customers in Greenland are different.“There are a lot of people forwhom the number one priority is to visit Greenland and then they come to our restaurant，”he said.

7 In addition to the adventurers who have already been lured by the Arctic landscape，the Greenlandic Tourist Board hopes the restaurant will also help attract travelers.“Theunique combination of highlevelfeast， the inherent sustainability of the North Atlantic cuisineand the characteristic nature and resources of the Disko Bay speaks to all our senses，”Visit Greenland’s director Hjortur Smarason said.
