The Tastelab is all about The Future of Food. 

As culinary visionaries and experimental scientists the Tastelab-team is recognized as the leading creator for tangible and thought-provoking experiences around food, science and sustainability.

Innovative gastronomy projects, caterings and tailor-made events at the intersection of the culinary and the scientific world lay the foundation of the Tastelab offerings. 

Alongside cooking and serving actual food, the business rapidly expanded into culinary consulting work, specializing in the creation of digital and analog content: creative, immersive and always providing "food for thought". 

A portfolio of innovative culinary apps complements the team's interdisciplinary and outside-the-box way of thinking. 

Genre-defining gastronomy projects include the completely sold-out "Tastelab 16 - Cooking & Science", a themed pop-up restaurant housed in a custom-built pavillon serving 5500 guests lunch, brunch and dinner;  the temporary restaurant "Shelf Life", revolving around the preservation of food; or the winter popup "Chalait", reinventing and serving modern alpine cuisine. The Tastelab also exhibits annually at the World Economic Forum in Davos, showcasing the Future of Food on the plate and in the installations, games and illustrations around it. Further it has created the mobile cooking apps "Tastelab: Cooking Knowledge", "Useful Units" and "Brine!".

Active since 2015, the Tastelab was originally founded by astrophysicist Sue Tobler and computer scientist Remo Gisi combining their three big passions: food, science and making things happen. In 2017 their alma mater, the ETH Zürich, officially recognized the Tastelab as an ETH-Spinoff - probably its most unusual one.
