Taste the Avant-Garde: Copenhagen

Angelika Ahrens, Georges Desrues, Sebastian Späth, 30.10.2025

The Danish capital is known worldwide as a hotspot for innovative cuisine. But it is not only setting standards in fine dining: in the slipstream of the Michelin stars, a lively gastronomic scene has developed - supported by young creatives with roots all over the world.

Just 20 years ago, no one would have traveled to Copenhagen for the food. But then René Redzepi came along, opened his "Noma" and laid the foundations for what would soon gain worldwide fame as "New Nordic Cuisine". Today, dozens of restaurants boast that their chefs once cooked at "Noma" - even if it was only for a few weeks or even days.
