TRI: 23 April - 31 May

Since April, TRI from Agger had been based in The Japanese Pagoda, welcoming guests to a culinary experience rooted in the coastal landscapes of northwestern Jutland. Their menu, inspired by salt, wind, and wild nature, was served with a precision that impressed and inspired.

Using ingredients from the North Sea and Limfjorden, foraged herbs, and unwavering craftsmanship, TRI delivered a gastronomic experience that harmonised simplicity and complexity, bridging the local with the international.

Thank you for now – and see you again in Thy.

Maison Dali: 12 June - 12 July

From 12 June to 12 July, celebrated Scottish chef Tristin Farmer brought his culinary vision to The Japanese Pagoda with Maison Dali – a relaxed brasserie that reflected his personal journey through some of the world’s most acclaimed kitchens.

Guests were taken on a global culinary tour shaped by Farmer’s experience in London, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Singapore with a menu that fused Nordic clarity with Japanese finesse.

Thank you for now – and see you again somewhere in the world.

Smoked Room: 18 July - 20 August

Smoked Room let the smoke unfold in The Japanese Pagoda, where Head Chef Massimiliano Delle Vedove presented a menu rooted in Japanese omakase traditions and an uncompromising approach to ingredients.

Guests experienced a menu where smoke tied everything together – as seasoning, as technique, and as atmosphere. Here, Spanish haute cuisine was united with Japanese precision and served in a form that was equally refined and innovative.

Thank you for now – and see you again in Madrid.

Odette: 27 August - 21 September

From late August through the final days of summer, Odette made its home in the Japanese Tower, inviting guests to a sensuous experience where art, gastronomy, and craftsmanship merged in perfect harmony.

Led by Chef Julien Royer, Odette presented classic French cuisine infused with subtle Asian nuances – crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients such as Japanese shellfish, truffles, caviar, and Bresse chicken, accompanied by elegant desserts created by Louisa Lim.

Odette delivered an experience that united refinement with poetry – leaving an unforgettable mark on Tivoli’s late summer season.

Thank you – and see you again in Singapore.

In November and December, the Michelin-starred restaurant Saporium from Borgo Santo Pietro moved into the Japanese Tower, bringing the flavours of the heart of Tuscany with it. Under the leadership of head chef Ariel Hagen, the team presented a special menu where classic Italian traditions met modern interpretations – rooted in an uncompromising farm-to-plate philosophy.

Guests were treated to everything from handmade pasta and risotto to surprising flavour combinations, created with seasonal ingredients and deep respect for nature.
