At Lacuna Kitchen, the food and the people who prepare, serve and clean up are treated with attention and care. With a keen eye for detail, we seize every opportunity to explore ‘hospitality’ - through ever shuffling roles and hierarchies - in all its finesse, glory and complexity.
In most restaurants, before your palate experiences the food, it is cut, cooked and served by people whose existence stays blissfully invisible. By interacting intimately with the same food, you can't be far away from each other. You may tip them and they may smile back at you. But rarely do your interactions overlap. Between them and you, there will always be a gap: a lacuna.
At Lacuna Kitchen we mind this gap and strive to mend this gap.
Be enchanted by our plant-based menu: Four courses of vibrant and creative cuisine. Immerse, indulge, watch closely, listen deeply and relish the delicacies of labor…
About us
Conscious of the disparity in work standardized according to skin colors in western gastronomy and hospitality industry, we humbly open kitchen doors and warmly invite our guests to step into the back & front operations of our pop-up restaurant, in order to sensitize them about invisible labor, unhealthy working conditions, racism and privilege.
Above all we wish to connect with people working in the kitchens of restaurants and hotels pan-europe and convey their stories and expertise.
