Gentofte Cozy Private Apartment

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.

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.
