Okay folks, don’t kill me, but as allegedly number two in the world, the really short for me. Disclaimer: I flew to Copenhagen from NYC because I scored a Noma resy and securing this table for one was an added bonus. But it just felt, familiar and soulless. They change the menu the week prior hence why the chef is here because he likes to see the menu through the guest eyes, which was fun. The Flower shaped beetroot dish with horseradish cream in the middle was absolutely unbelievable. The Turbot was also very nice. If you told me, I was in any other two or three star Paris, I would’ve believed you.
Everything felt extremely choreographed: Next I serve you a protein Then I pour sauce Then I ask what you think
Rinse. Repeat.
Nothing stood out to me. Sorry to be harsh but it warrants it.
Someone recently posted the Noma game and forest pics so I’ll refrain, but goddamn was that special. Sorry geranium, not for me!

no disrespect at all – but I can’t imagine getting to a point where dining at any 3 Michelin restaurant could feel underwhelming or too familiar, but you are certainly much more experienced than I in going to them

Are those raw Brussels sprouts? What on earth is that doing on a plate at a 3* restaurant?

My friend described it as “executed to perfection in a robotic way,” and I think that might be similar to what you’re getting at.
Still on my want to go list, but there are several other restaurants in Copenhagen that I’d rather go to first.

I preferred Geranium to Noma any day. And it was also better than Alchemist. It may feel more posh than the more approachable Noma but overall Geranium any day for me. And Jordnær a close second.

See, Alchemist any day for me: I love all the flash and extra-ness to pair with the endless courses
