The programme

Learn about Inuit life through the cuisine of Greenland: you'll take home flavors, stories and customs that only exist here.
A typical restaurant in Qaqortoq opens the door to a whole world of traditional foods based on local raw ingredients, enabling you to enjoy a culinary experience that is a little out of the ordinary.
That's right - because here, you'll get to taste shellfish, local meat and dried fish, symbols of Greenland's daily catch, while your guide explains that the Inuit diet is predominantly carnivorous.
Don't believe it? Taste for yourself. On your table, you will find a mix of meats with a high concentration of good fats: the great allies of the northern peoples, to help them cope with the most extreme temperatures.
But that’s not all: you can't imagine all the ways that the Inuit manage to put the polar waters to use. Taste at the restaurant different kind of beers made with water obtained directly from 2000-year-old ice caps.
Raise your glass: its smooth taste will make you forget its icy origins for a minute.
