The Noma cofounder has unveiled his solo restaurant in Greenpoint, centered around the kitchen.
A few days before Ilis officially opened its doors in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, chef Mads Refslund was wheeling a cart of snacks around the lofty dining room.
The dining room, set in a brick-walled former warehouse space, is centered around a central open kitchen where the restaurant’s chefs huddle around various metal islands. All of thepreparation is done in full view of diners, the loud, chaotic frenzy of many restaurant kitchens swapped for the more contained spectacle of a high-end culinary operation.
Refslund and Douillet met several years ago, and early in their friendship Douillet invited the Scandinavian expat to a Thanksgiving celebration in the Berkshires. While driving around the area, they came across a pack of wild turkeys. Ilis is also planning to offer a casual family-style meal instead of typical brunch service on Sundays, a nod to the being a day reserved for rest and family in Denmark. The concept, which will launch in the coming weeks, will center around the restaurant’s rotisserie.
