Documentary teaser
At Restaurant Ulo, we’ve spent the past months investing an extraordinary amount of time, focus, and energy into getting ready to welcome our guests again this coming January. People travel from all over the world to dine with us, and with Habi’s growing ambitions, a new idea has started to take shape - the quiet but very real desire to bring the Michelin Guide to Ilulissat and aim for the world’s northernmost Michelin star.
That kind of ambition doesn’t happen in the spotlight. It happens in the shadows, after hours, in the details no one sees. And that’s exactly where we’ve been working. Throughout the autumn, Jesper Ærø and Anders Agerbo have been documenting the entire process - the long days, the late evenings, the testing, refining, and rebuilding of what Ulo will be when we open our doors again.

filming inside out
Out in the wild Greenlandic landscape, Jesper Ærø and Habi Khaliqdad capture the essence of Restaurant Ulo’s philosophy. Here, our team is seen gathering their own ingredients straight from nature - a true reflection of the care, dedication, and connection to the land that goes into every dish.
about Jesper and anders
Jesper Ærø and Anders Agerbo are experienced filmmakers who know how to tell a story with an eye for detail and authenticity. Over the past year, they followed the Arctic rescue team in Greenland for the documentary series "De arktiske reddere", capturing around 500 hours of footage under some of the toughest conditions imaginable.
Through freezing cold, across remote ice fields, and even from SAR helicopters in the Arctic sky, Jesper and Anders were there, filming every moment - the dramatic rescues, the quiet tension, and the fragile beauty of both people and landscape.
That same approach now comes to Restaurant Ulo. As we prepare to reopen, they’ve been filming the work happening behind the scenes: the focus, the care, and the connection between our team and the ingredients we use. Jesper and Anders capture it all, giving a glimpse into the heart of Ulo before our doors open again.
With them behind the camera, every shot is real. Every pause, every careful movement, and every ingredient treated with respect is part of the story - the story of a restaurant aiming high and ready to welcome guests from all over the world.
