Go Hotel Herlev

The 8th floor of the Parken Stadium – home to F.C. Copenhagen and the Danish national team – is the unlikely setting for Rasmus Kofoed’s luxurious, world-class restaurant that’s in a league of its own. Panoramic park views are accompanied by around 15 meticulously prepared, beautifully presented courses, with each one as highly creative and impeccably precise as the last. Totally eschewing meat, the first-rate ingredients include biodynamic vegetables, foraged plants and berries, and seafood from non-endangered species. A stunningly stocked wine cellar rounds out the experience.

There’s a homely feel to this intimate spot hidden away in the suburbs, where Chef-Owner Jonathan Tam offers a unique experience that’s best enjoyed from a seat at the counter. The tasting menu – entitled ‘Solar’ – follows 24 solar micro-seasons throughout the year, and the original, exciting dishes combine Danish ingredients with Asian recipes and flavours. The focus is largely on vegetables, with produce sourced locally from organic farms and ethical producers, and any food waste is turned into miso and shoyu in collaboration with Koji Copenhagen. Non-alcoholic drinks pairings add an interes

An extensive renovation has given a pristine shine to this over 100-year-old restaurant inside a red-brick villa. Guests are welcomed all together by the chef and his team with signature drinks at the circular, marble-topped bar, before being seated in front of a gleaming open kitchen, where the chefs craft boldly flavoured dishes from superb produce – maybe Jutland beef tenderloin glazed in cognac, truffle and green Madagascan peppercorns. There’s a sense of classic luxury throughout, typified by the collection of prestige champagnes housed inside an impressive wine cellar.

This friendly, neighbourhood-style restaurant is located in Frederiksberg, the birthplace of designer Finn Juhl, and the seductively lit dining room is graced with examples of his mid-century furniture. In a refreshing take on the tasting menu format, diners choose five courses from around a dozen offered by the kitchen. Each one is beautifully presented with flavours to match, like juicy, sweet langoustine tails with textures of carrot. The wine list offers plenty of fine burgundy and bordeaux, while artisan kombuchas lead the non-alcoholic options.

The Park Lane Copenhagen hotel sits in the chic neighbourhood of Hellerup, and within its basement, you’ll find Allan Schultz’s intimate Parsley Salon, where beautifully crafted Danish oak furnishings sit beside shelves packed with cookery books. Allan’s finely balanced, classically inspired dishes showcase locally grown vegetables and seafood from Nordic waters alongside foraged berries and coastal plants, so you might find poached langoustine with seaweed and a sherry beurre blanc or North Sea cod with blue mussels, potato and parsley emulsion. Interesting wine and juice pairings accompany.

A whitewashed townhouse is the setting for Karim Khouani’s basement restaurant, where paintings add a splash of colour to the chic, intimate room. Karim hails from Marseille, with an Italian mother and a Moroccan father, so while his technically adept, flavour-packed cooking has a French base, you might notice these influences too. The delightful dishes could include langoustine tartare with lavender cream, clams and caviar or goat’s cheese sorbet with olive oil, bergamot and bee pollen – and, as he is also a talented pâtissier, the stunning duck fat and pink praline brioche is a real standout

Start with a drink in the courtyard of this handsome yellow building in the city’s Latin Quarter before heading for the elegant, contemporary dining room. Udtryk means 'expression' in Danish and the well-balanced tasting menu blends techniques and flavours from across Asia and Europe in refined, interesting dishes. You might find a claypot of koshihikari rice, Norlin Wagyu, Danish eel and shiitake mushrooms, followed by monaka with hand-dived Norwegian scallops, watercress and gingko nuts for dessert.This restaurant is temporarily closed and due to reopen around August.
