In keeping with the surroundings, dishes have a classical French heart with the occasional modern twist – showcasing top-quality ingredients and exhibiting real depth of flavour. You might find monkfish with mussels, onion and chlorophyll sauce or lemon parfait with passion fruit and meringue. The accompanying wine list is a tome of beauty.

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.

This elegant restaurant provides a hugely engaging experience from start to finish, with its technically accomplished and completely original cooking. The heritage of Korean-born chef-owner Kristian Baumann influences the flavours and techniques across the multi-course tasting menu, where refined, creative dishes are built around superb ingredients; you might find the likes of kkwabaegi with sesame butter and ginseng infused honey, a modern take on a traditional Korean twisted doughnut, but using a feather-light brioche. Service is professional yet relaxed, and the whole event is perfectly cho

Flanked by private members’ clubs, the 17th-century Moltkes Palæ sits in a quiet street close to Amalienborg Palace. Within its vaulted basement sits a|o|c, whose elegant, sophisticated design takes in handcrafted oak and leather chairs, soft designer lighting and a tasteful piano soundtrack. There’s a long bar for snacks, a cosy lounge for petits fours and, as befits a restaurant founded by a sommelier, an impressively stocked glass wine cellar. Finely wrought dishes showcase top-quality ingredients and come with subtle global touches, such as in the razor clam with kosho or scallop with wasa

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.

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.
