Tastelab is a culinary creative studio 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, art 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 quickly expanded into interdisciplinary culinary studio work, encompassing every creative aspect around an event: storytelling, physical and digital content, design and styling - all providing “food for thought” in a playful and inviting way.

A portfolio of culinary mobile 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 installations, games and illustrations around it.

Tastelab has created the mobile cooking apps "Tastelab: Cooking Knowledge", "Useful Units" and "Brine!".

Active since 2015, 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 Zurich, officially recognized Tastelab as an ETH spinoff company - probably its most unusual one.
