Chef’s Table is more than a dinner—it’s a curated journey through flavour, wellness and connection.
This summer, we invite you to an intimate table set beneath the stars of the Spa Village. With only a few seats at the table, each offers a personal escape into culinary artistry and relaxation. Will you be sitting in one of them?
What: A unique seven-course meal with wine pairings, a private Arboreal ritual, a breathtaking view and full access to the Spa Village.
When: July 29 and 30 as well as August 5 and 6, starting at 5 p.m.
Who: 12 people can enjoy Chef’s Table every night of the event. Places are limited.
Where: At Nordik Spa Village Chelsea overlooking the grounds from the Mezz’s patio.
How Much: Chef’s Table with the complete Spa Village access is $415 per person.
How: Simply book online and add access to the Spa Village and the Chef’s Table (found under Experience Plus) to your basket.
Your spa day can start as early as 9 a.m. when the Spa Village opens. You can spend the day enjoying the saunas, baths, rest areas, rituals, and restaurants at your leisure. The Chef’s Table experience begins around 5 p.m. in front of the Banya sauna.
Then, it’s time for a private Arboreal Aufguss ritual. A Ritual Artisan crafts a choreographed story through steam, heat and scent. While not mandatory, it is recommended that you cold plunge after the Village Ritual. The third step of the thermal cycle—hot, cold and rest—will be enjoyed at the Chef’s Table.
Once seated at the table, seven courses, along with wine pairings and even a table-side wellness will be served. Around 8 p.m., when the meal is over, you’ll be invited to enjoy the Spa Village once again until it closes at 11 p.m.

We won’t spoil any surprises, but we can tell you that the incredible local, fresh and flavourful ingredients were artistically transformed into intricate dishes.
