Restaurant inspired by
“It was a joyful evening, with long, banquet tables of communal dishes, the room made warm through the implicit buy-in to the concept by everyone in attendance, everyone being a little serious about being silly.”
BECKY CARMAN, ROOT TULSA
TULSMÅ,
Tulsa’s love letter to IKEA
Tulsmå, the first-ever fine dining pop-up restaurant inspired by IKEA, was held on June 14-17, 2024.
The menu was created and served by et al., a James Beard Award-nominated collective of chefs in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The restaurant sold out within 12 hours and amassed a waitlist of several hundred.
“I ate everything so fast”
“Thank you, et al. This dinner was outstanding. You represented Tulsa talent and our love for IKEA very well.”
“Best hot dog I’ve ever had in my life. We want an IKEA!”
“The meatball, you can’t go wrong with that. The potatoes were the star of the show.”
“What’s the Swedish word for magic?”
“It was so fun. Everything was amazing. All the decorations with the food was amazing. The green goddess dressing on the salad —I’ve never had anything so good.”
“Wow. What an experience. I had so much fun. Cool people, amazing food.”
“The level of creativity here could only have come from a town who really wants this here. You can’t just buy this.”
“It was incredible. It was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had this year.”
