The Maverick Behind Nordic Hospitality
I’m Kristian Karnell, the culinary force driving Nordic Hospitality in the vibrant heart of UAE. As a passionate chef, I don’t just serve food—I create experiences that ignite the senses and stir the soul. My journey through the world of fine dining has been nothing short of exhilarating, where I’ve perfected my craft at the highest levels, transforming every dish into a story waiting to be told.
One of my standout moments was leading the culinary vision for the Nordic Michelin Gala for two years in a row, a prestigious event that showcased the best of Nordic cuisine and my commitment to unforgettable dining experiences. But I’m just getting started.
I’m also the mastermind behind Finland’s first immersive restaurant concept, a revolutionary idea that’s set to hit the Dubai market in 2026. This isn’t just dining; it’s a wild culinary adventure that combines innovative cuisine with artistic elements, taking your guests on a journey they’ll never forget.
In my world, food isn’t just about nourishment; it’s a powerful form of expression. I’m not afraid to take risks and push boundaries—expect bold flavors and show-stopping presentations that challenge the norm.
Trust and reliability are my core values. In this industry, it’s all about keeping promises and maintaining the highest standards. I believe in building strong connections with clients, ensuring you have the confidence that your event will be executed flawlessly and stand out from the crowd.
