If Noma is the industry’s wild card, then Geranium is undoubtedly its straight-A student — precise, composed, and consistently brilliant. Its founder remains the only chef in the world to hold the full Bocuse d’Or trilogy — gold, silver, and bronze — a detail that feels evident in every plate: methodical technique, balanced creativity, and immaculate execution.
Flavours are diverse without ever feeling forced; the aesthetics are impeccable; and the non-alcoholic pairing elevates the experience to a standard that many Michelin-starred restaurants have yet to reach.
After working through Copenhagen’s most celebrated dining rooms, this is, without question, my definition of a true three-star meal.
Danish Tradition ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A visually striking opening. Seaweed saltiness meets herring umami, brightened by a clean herbal lift from dill.
Smoked Roe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Crisp yet tender with a delicate smokiness; the finish lands on a gentle dairy sweetness and the subtle pop of cured roe.
Boiled Beetroot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Devoid of any earthiness — pure sweetness with cherry-like fruitiness, followed by a whisper of fresh horseradish.
Caviar ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pleasant but optional. Well-made, though not a standout in this context.
Oysters ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Warm, plump oysters finished over heat; paired with pickled celeriac for a harmonious sweet–sour counterpoint.
Kohlrabi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Crisp kohlrabi and apple acidity layered with a creamy sauce and saline depth from caviar — full and satisfying.
Sunchoke ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nutty, soft and savoury, with raw walnut providing an unexpected textural contrast.
Crispy Grains ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Black-truffle bread is rich and aromatic; the sourdough crust is gentle, with a lingering nutty fragrance.
Scallop ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A hint of open-fire aroma; buttery sweetness integrates seamlessly with the scallop’s natural delicacy.
Turbot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Soft and bouncy. The sauce brings fish and mushroom umami, though the seasoning leans slightly heavy.
Today’s Harvest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Acidic, sweet, smoky, creamy, crisp, soft — a beautifully orchestrated study of vegetables.
A far more layered experience than Arpège’s vegetable tasting.
Chamomile ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bright and fragrant with citrus–botanical notes; pear sweetness rounds out the acidity elegantly.
Chocolate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A perfect finale: aromatic chocolate sphere; silky mousse with nutty granules; a tiny bar reminiscent of Magnum.
Flavours of Madagascar cacao emerge with light acidity and cherry-like fruit tones.
Sunflower Seeds Tart ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Apple sweetness, crisp tart shell, geranium perfume, and cultured yoghurt — refreshing and poised.

You would have gotten 10 stars too, if you could give it.
By far the best restaurant experience of my life. The food was absolutely insanely good with a good mix of experimental combinations and more classic dishes. The setting and atmosphere were also impeccable, but where you deserve 10 stars is in the service level. Absolutely outstanding! Everyone - and there were many - who served us was skilled, knowledgeable, down to earth and clearly passionate. The same applied to Rasmus and Søren, who were both past the table, which was super cool - down to earth and passionate; like everyone else. Furthermore, it was really cool to experience that the only thing it was about was giving us the best possible experience - which we got to that extent.
An extra shot and praise to the two waiters who were at our table the most. A young, Danish student waiter and a South African waiter. Service on an unprecedented level! We say thank you very much - and will definitely come again!

Wonderful food from beginning to end. Little on the pricier side. Staff were wonderful, friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a visit.

I went there in 2018, and the food didn't leave a deep impression.

An unforgettable dialogue between flavor and soul.
My dinner at Geranium was nothing short of extraordinary — and I have to say, the wine pairing was the best I’ve ever experienced in any restaurant so far. It wasn’t just about complementing the dishes — the pairing elevated each course to another dimension entirely.
From the very first bite of Oysters in crispy algae, the meal began like a whisper from the ocean — delicate yet powerful. The lightly smoked bleak roe balanced gentle smokiness with a milky, comforting depth — a true Nordic poem. Later, dishes like King crab with pickled pumpkin and the celeriac & truffle “soup” showcased stunning balance and harmony, both in flavor and texture.
But the wine pairing was the soul of the experience — every glass was chosen with such precision that it didn’t just match the dish; it completed it. The acidity, aroma, and timing of each pour felt like a symphony written for the palate.
Every element — pacing, light, service, and even tableware — reflected Geranium’s mastery. It’s not about extravagance here; it’s about the quiet power of nature, clarity, and emotion.

It's truly a 3-star restaurant, if not the best in the world (they got best a years back 🤭)
Everything is nearly to perfection , from service, wine, and food.
It was very pricey but worth it a try. But to be honest, I'm not sure that we will go back to this considering the ROI

Wir waren zu Dritt (meine Tochter, mein Neffe und ich) zum Mittagessen hier. Natürlich kann man sich - wenn man denn will - etwas über Lage (im oberen Bereich des Fußballstadions) und Einrichtung (sehr skandinavisch schlicht und modern, aber weit weg von "IKEA") mokieren, ich finde allerdings beides cool und dort auch sehr stimmig. Und der sehr direkte, sehr sympathische, lockere aber gleichzeitig hoch professionelle Service passt wunderbar zu diesem Ambiente - besonders erwähnenswert in diesem Zusammenhang ist die "Führung" durch das gesamte Restaurant (einschließlich dem Teil des dort beheimateten Weinkellers mit den "Weinen zum Zeigen" ;-), hallo DRC!, dem Private Dining Bereich / der Vorbereitungsküche etc.), die jedem Tisch nach den Hauptgängen angeboten wird. Das war ein tolles Erlebnis!
Aber zum Wichtigsten, dem Essen: Das ist wirklich außergewöhnlich und in seiner Zubereitung und Präzision nahezu perfekt. Man kann anders auf 3 Sterne Niveau Essen, aber nur schwerlich besser. Angesichts der Vielzahl der (unfassbar guten) Gänge fehlt der Platz, sie alle zu beschreiben, besonders hervorheben möchte ich allerdings alle 4 Amuses (eins besser als das nächste, allen voran die Makrele mit der Essenz von gebackenen Tomaten), den Kohlrabi (unfassbar gut dazu in der Wienbegleitung der "Y") die Essenz vom Spargel mit frischem Trüffel und den Zander - Hammer. Die Desserts stehen ihren Vorgänger-Gängen in nichts nach, alles wird von einem wirklich (in jeder Hinsicht) perfekten Service wunderbar präsentiert. Die verschiedenen Weinbegleitungen (4 an der Zahl) sind spannend (gilt auch für die nicht alkoholische Begleitung, die wir auch probiert haben, extraordinär!) in der Auswahl zu Teil herausragend, aber leider auch sehr teuer (das Essen ist ja auch schon nicht ganz billig), allerdings wird großzügig "aufgetoppt", auch bei den mit Coravin servierten Weinen. Wir hatten insgesamt ein außergewöhnliches Mittagessen, an das alle Beteiligten sicher noch lange zurückdenken.

Reservamos con 6 meses de antelación, pero esta experiencia gastronómica valió la pena la espera. Desde el punto de vista, a través del recorrido de la parte trasera de la casa y su bodega fue una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable. El menú de primavera era una cacofonía de presentación magnífica y sabores increíbles.
