Transparency is a buzzword in business, but at InFormal Kitchen, we take it literally. Our open kitchen is a promise of complete honesty—here, the craftsmanship of our chefs and the highest standards of work happen right before your eyes. In an era where authenticity is hard to find, watching your Beef Wellington come to life or seeing a chef precisely prepare a Beef Tartare builds a connection that no menu description can replace.

When you see us using only fresh, seasonal ingredients from trusted suppliers, the barrier between “product” and “dish” disappears. You witness the passion, focus, and team dynamics that turn a meal into an experience rather than just consumption.

The Theater of Taste: Engaging Your Senses

An open kitchen is a unique spectacle that engages all your senses before the plate even hits the table. It’s the sound of a Filet Mignon searing, the aroma of fresh herbs added to the Focaccia, or the sight of the glowing lava stones used to finish our steaks.

This proximity makes the guest part of the process. You can watch the velvety wine-butter emulsion being created for the Shrimp or see the herbal mayo being precisely piped onto the tartare. This transforms the wait for your meal into a prelude to a culinary adventure. At InFormal Kitchen, “Low Distance” means the chef isn’t an anonymous figure in the back—they are a creator whose work you can appreciate in person.

Hygiene and Craftsmanship as a Standard, Not a Promise

The absence of walls demands perfection. In an open kitchen, every detail matters—from the organization of the workstation and cutting techniques to the final plating. It is our daily motivation to maintain the highest standards. Guests can see that our Gnocchi are stuffed with porcini with the utmost care and that the Norwegian Salmon hits the grill at the perfect moment.

Transparency is also about education. By observing our work, you can see the effort required to prepare the perfect Pistachio Tiramisu or the care given to every arugula leaf on a Pizza Prosciutto. It builds respect for the ingredients and the hands that prepare them.

Transparency in Every Detail

Our open attitude extends beyond the kitchen. We want you to feel at ease with formal matters as well, which is why we communicate our rules clearly:

• Invoices: We are always happy to issue invoices; please just let us know before the bill is closed.
• Service Charge: A 10% service charge is added to every order as a gesture of appreciation for the entire team you see at work.
• Allergens: Thanks to our open setup, we can react to your needs in real-time—allergen information is available from our staff upon request.

The open kitchen at InFormal Kitchen is an invitation to our world. It is proof that we have nothing to hide, and the quality of our dishes speaks for itself in any light. Drop by, take a seat near the heart of our restaurant, and simply enjoy the moment.

Enjoy your time!
