On June 1, 2026, Tivoli Gardens will transform into the epicentre of Nordic fine dining as the prestigious Michelin Guide Ceremony Nordic Countries 2026 arrives in Copenhagen. Hosted by Wonderful Copenhagen, the event promises to be one of the most significant culinary highlights of the European gastronomic calendar.
Set against the enchanting backdrop of Tivoli’s historic gardens, the ceremony will gather the Nordic region’s most celebrated chefs, acclaimed food journalists, international tastemakers, and culinary insiders for a night dedicated to innovation, craftsmanship, and exceptional cuisine.
But the celebrations begin long before the stars are revealed.
Starting May 23, Tivoli launches its vibrant month-long Food Festival, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the flavours of the North through curated tastings, street food experiences, chef appearances, cocktails, and live DJ sets. Throughout the gardens, guests can expect gastronomic surprises and immersive culinary moments that capture the creativity and spirit of modern Nordic cuisine.
The Michelin ceremony also marks the beginning of “Taste the Stars,” a year-long collaboration extending Copenhagen’s gastronomic celebrations throughout 2026. The initiative further cements the Danish capital’s position as one of the world’s leading culinary destinations — a city where groundbreaking restaurants coexist with a deeply rooted food culture focused on sustainability, seasonality, and innovation.
With its fairytale atmosphere, legendary venues, and unmistakable charm, Tivoli Gardens offers a uniquely magical setting for the Nordic Michelin celebrations. For food lovers, gourmets, and travellers seeking the next unforgettable dining destination, Copenhagen is poised to become the place to be this summer.
One thing is certain: Nordic cuisine has never tasted more exciting.
