The Experience
This spring, Commodore Perry Estate welcomes Chef Mark Lundgaard of Copenhagen’s celebrated Kong Hans Kælder for a limited culinary residency at Lutie’s. As head chef, Lundgaard led Kong Hans Kælder to its first-ever two Michelin stars in 2021 – an achievement rooted in classical technique and a distinctly modern point of view. During his visit, Chef Lundgaard will bring a refined Nordic sensibility to Austin through an intimate, two-night tasting experience. The menu reflects Kong Hans Kælder’s signature style: classical French foundations layered with modern Scandinavian influence, thoughtful restraint and an emphasis on pristine ingredients and precise execution.
- Wednesday, May 20 & Thursday, May 21

Defined by Intention
In Chef Mark’s kitchen, food is rooted in origin and craft. Every dish begins with an understanding of where ingredients come from and how they are transformed, guided by technique, restraint and intention. His cuisine blends the foundations of classical French cooking with the clarity and precision of modern Nordic minimalism, resulting in dishes that feel both refined and elemental – focused on balance, purity of flavor and lasting palatability.
