The Chef's Table

Thursday 18:30 & 21:00 at The Chef's Table
Sittings are 2hrs

Albert Franch Sunyer is a pioneer in sustainable gastronomy and one of the owners of one of the Nordic's first zero waste restaurants - Restaurant Nolla. He is well-known for his passion and positive mindset as well as wide knowledge of the industry gathered from working in famous restaurants around the world. With a background in biology, sustainability is close to Albert’s heart and his desire to challenge the restaurant industry's norms keep him motivated to strive for a more sustainable future for restaurants around the world.

His eagerness to make a positive environmental impact track back to his childhood in Sallent, Catalonia, Spain. His hometown is known for its large artificial pile of sodium chloride waste and from a young age, Albert was engaged in environmental protest groups who wanted to solve the problem. Before finding his place in the kitchen, Albert began biology studies in the university.

Albert has been perfecting the ideology of refuse, reduce, reuse, and as a last resort, recycle and rot that are seen throughout the functions in Nolla. He has made meaningful connections with local producers and suppliers who share the same ideology as the restaurant. It’s a full circle with the restaurant receiving local and valuable products and then giving back with the oil made from the biodegradable waste. Every now and then you can find other world-renowned chefs shuffling in the kitchen of Nolla, whom the founding trio has challenged to try out the zero waste mindset.

His hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed by the public and fellow colleagues and Nolla was awarded the restaurant of the Year in 2022 as well as gaining the Michelin guide’s Green star. He and his team will continue to challenge the industry’s norms and strive for a more sustainable future.
