Pearl by Paul Proffitt

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine

Head for the Flesborg Fjord, and at the water’s edge you’ll find this early-20th-century villa boasting a cosy bar, parquet floors and light wood furnishings.

Ti Trin Ned

Behind the scenes Michael Nørtoft creates refined, technically accomplished fish and vegetable dishes with deceptively simple names – maybe ‘brill, asparagus and ramson’ or ‘blackberries, cep and fennel' – which belie the complexity that goes into their creation. To complement are some interesting wine and juice pairin

Madeleine

€€€Modern Cuisine, French

Yves Le Lay’s latest restaurant takes up residence on a semi-pedestrianised street in the heart of the Old Town; its name is a reference to Marcel Proust’s story ‘In Search of Lost Time’, where a bite of a madeleine opens up childhood memories.
