Knútur Kristjánsson grew up in Hafnarfjördur, Iceland, but it was his love of food and the terroir of Halland that made him put down roots in the region.

His culinary journey has meandered through workplaces in Iceland, France and finally Sweden - where he has worked at well-known restaurants such as Oaxen Krog, Fäviken and Upper House Dining in Gothenburg. In 2016 he was handpicked to build up the restaurant Köket at Strandbaden, and today runs Rådhustorget No:1A in the heart of Falkenberg.

Knútur is passionate about creating thoughtful, holistic experiences. His cuisine is based on the Nordic heritage, its traditions and a strong connection to local ingredients.
