Cabinn Scandinavia

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

A stone’s throw from Peblinge Sø Lake sits this unfussy, proudly run neighbourhood restaurant, whose name, ‘anarchy’, is a nod to its ethos. The regularly evolving menu of sharing plates embraces produce, techniques and seasonings from around the world, taking good quality ingredients and crafting them into bold, rustic dishes that burst with flavour. This mindset extends to the drinks too, with both the wines and the spirits originating from far-flung destinations and providing plenty of interest. Prices are kept reasonable which may, in part, help to explain the lively atmosphere.

The name comes from its location opposite the old offices of The Danish Broadcasting Corporation, but it could easily refer to the lively buzz of the atmosphere too. Its moody décor encompasses black low-hanging lights, a black chandelier made of metal desk lamps and dark panelled walls hung with large slates decorated with chalk-drawn vegetables. Full-flavoured dishes use organic ingredients grown in the restaurant’s nearby fields and feature well thought through combinations such as salmon sashimi with crunchy kohlrabi and hot horseradish sauce or caramelised pork belly with pumpkin and spic

This elegant restaurant is set in an intimate, historic and wonderfully atmospheric cellar, where a charming team attend to your every need. Cooking is rooted in French gastronomy, with its luxury ingredients and rich flavours, but the chef also stamps his own mark on the accomplished, imaginative dishes, with some subtle modernisation and lighter touches.

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

The second incarnation of Alouette sits within a listed building opposite the King’s Garden, and its luxurious brown and beige dining room has something of a 1970s vibe. Chef-Owner Nick Curtin offers a surprise menu built around top-quality ingredients that have been rigorously sourced from hand-picked producers – and each sublimely flavoured dish is delivered with the story of its well-balanced components and their origins. Smoking over fire plays a key role and artisan ceramics add to the visual appeal, with seafood dishes such as monkfish with miso, gooseberry and bee pollen a particular hi

The elegant younger sister of the two Kadeaus, this Copenhagen outpost puts a more sophisticated spin on the Bornholm original. Prepare yourself for a magical experience, where engaging service, cool surroundings and captivating cuisine create a night to remember. From start to finish, the cooking is truly unique and hits every note perfectly, creating a beautiful flow from course to course. Much of the produce comes from Bornholm – whose special island climate provides top-notch ingredients such as cherries and figs – and preserving plays its part. The work that goes into each dish is astound
