Overview
Established in 2005 by chef Grant Achatz, Alinea has revolutionized fine dining with its avant-garde approach to molecular gastronomy. The restaurant has maintained three Michelin stars since 2011 and consistently ranks among the world's best restaurants.

Alinea is known for its theatrical presentation, including edible balloons and desserts prepared directly on the dining table. The multi-course tasting menu is a sensory journey that challenges conventional notions of dining.
