@lydieats 💕 A true three-star experience. From the beautifully executed dishes to the warmest professionalism, and the way they celebrate their Nordic roots—this meal is truly worth a special journey.
The summer universe opens with a clever nod to Danish tradition: a refreshing, pickled bite made of salted herring and schnapps 🙂↕️ My favorite came early—a silky sour milk pudding layered with kale and apple oils, topped with dashi crisps and trout & bleak roe. Every element had its moment, yet tasted so delicate together.
Next, a stunning dish of beetroot and cherry jelly “flowers” in a horseradish dashi sauce. Earthy, fruity, and sharp—a total visual and textural dream 🌸 Highly recommend adding the caviar supplement. It’s a generous serving of high-quality savory eggs paired with chewy waffles and beach nut cream.
For a green reset, zucchini ribbons with burnt goat cheese. The apple-cucumber sauce and fresh mint made it taste like summer in one perfect bite 🧚♀️ And then, what I’d consider their signature: a gorgeous swirl of kohlrabi and apple topped with hazelnut oil. Out of this world—crunchy, nutty, fresh, and rich all at once.
Geranium had the strongest start I’ve ever experienced. Their starting dishes were some of the most memorable dishes ever 💯 Each ingredient shined in its best form, with an attention to texture and shape that felt otherworldly. A true work of art.
The warm courses opened with a sourdough donut baked in oil and filled with truffle mayo—decadent and quite oily. From there, things grew richer: scallops in brown butter balanced with blackcurrant leaves. This was almost too rich, tasted quite flat. The stuffed turbot was interesting in texture (kinda like oden) but just too salty. The side peas were the standout.
The main was a beautiful “today’s harvest” dish with a variety of onions and greens 🌱It was a wonderfully bright ending but came with some unwanted critters. They prepared another plate - still had the extra protein but impressed by the exact replica they created. Probs would have missed it if we dined at a darker time 👀
Desserts leaned bright and thoughtful: seabuckthorn panna cotta, two takes on plum one ethereal with fig leaf granita & the other a dense tart with currants. Finale was a light punch of licorice cream with raspberry jam and some gorgeous crackers. Some misses in the ending but overall a once in a lifetime meal! Ask for a picture with the chefs and they’ll clap for you 😂

We had a wonderful time at Geranium. The welcome was warm, the service both professional and attentive, and the setting truly beautiful. Every dish we tasted was a discovery – as stunning to look at as it was delicious, with surprising flavors that really stood out. A memorable experience I would recommend without hesitation!

Dining at Geranium years ago left a lasting impression, from its striking design to the unparalleled food and service. The memory of my 12 course tasting menu is as fresh and inspiring as ever.
The meal was a masterpiece, with each dish showcasing an incredible dedication to food and menu creation. The plating was an art form, and the way the chefs paired aromas and flavours was simply brilliant. The team's commitment was especially impressive—I had the pleasure of meeting some of the kitchen staff who were genuinely enthusiastic and deeply committed to their craft. Their dedication and creativity were evident in every dish.
I recently tried to book a table but was unable to, which was a huge disappointment. This has only fueled my excitement to return in the coming months, and I'm confident that Geranium's pursuit of excellence has only continued to evolve.

Perfect and exceptionally delicious.
However, it is quite pricey compared to other restaurants of this caliber.

It is no coincidence that in 2022 Geranium was named the best restaurant in the world. The dishes presented — and above all their taste — were simply breathtaking. Every detail was executed with the utmost precision and care. The service was attentive and professional, yet always warm and smiling.
Special recognition goes to manager Piotr Adamczyk, who demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and experience during our dinner. He is truly a treasure for the restaurant.
Comparing my visits to Noma and Geranium, I must admit that it is Geranium that stole my heart with its flavors, atmosphere, and service.

Dining at Geranium in Copenhagen was truly the most exquisite food and dining experience I’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was world class. The service was outstanding—extremely personalized to each table—and what really stood out was that the chefs themselves presented the dishes they cooked, explaining every detail with passion and precision.
Every course was a work of art, and many were among the most incredible dishes I’ve ever tasted. To top it all off, we were given a behind-the-scenes tour of the restaurant, including the wine room, private dining room, the football stadium it’s connected to, and the kitchen—an inspiring glimpse into the artistry that makes Geranium so special.
Yes, it’s expensive, but the experience is worth every penny. A special shoutout to Niels, one of our waiters, who went above and beyond to make the evening unforgettable.
If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience, Geranium is absolutely unmatched.

A sublime experience that I will always remember. The quality of service and food was excellent. I also appreciated the ethos of focusing on fruit, vegetables, flowers, and fish. I felt at home thanks to the large number of Italians, both chefs and waiters. The meal was expensive, but I'd say it was worth it.

Geranium felt like stepping into a bright, Danish fever dream and then discovering the dream has narrative continuity. Our lunch was the Summer Universe and it read exactly like that: a long, carefully paced procession that kept unfolding without ever losing its line. The room is high and light, with treetops and sky out the windows, and the mood is serene rather than hushed. It is Scandinavian-clean, beautifully calm, and deeply hospitable.
What I loved most was how wildly novel the plates looked while tasting unmistakably Danish and, crucially, delicious. So much fine dining leans on visual pyrotechnics that don't add up in the mouth. Here the compositions are exotic to look at yet coherent on the palate. The opening bites arrived like little botanical studies, complete with a glossy leaf lattice and tiny flowers you actually want to eat. A luminous orange bowl stippled with roe tasted of pure sea and sun, bright but not sugary, depth without weight. Those translucent red "petals" arranged in a pale lactic pool were a small masterclass in contrast, delicate and mineral with a gentle creaminess that carried the finish. There was a spoon course suspended in a clear, aromatic broth, dotted with tiny spheres and root coins that made their knife work obvious, and a garden plate where herbs, vegetables, and blossoms ringed an herb emulsion while a copper filigree tuile added crunch without noise. A dish veiled by an herb-flecked coin of cream looked almost abstract until you tasted how exact the seasoning was. At one point caviar arrived on featherlight slips over a glass plate streaked like a painter's palette. Every one of these moments felt playful and novel while staying legible and balanced.
The technique is virtuosic and quiet. Sauces have line and length. Salt is in check. Acidity is tuned so that seafood and vegetables speak clearly. Nothing is there to show off. Everything is there to make the main idea ring. It is rare to see this much visual invention in the service of flavor rather than at its expense.
Service was equally on point. Polished, warm, and genuinely proud of the house. Our server was charming, impossibly energetic, and after lunch he led us on a tour of the kitchens and cellar, narrating the flow with the delight of someone who actually loves his job. His maroon suit was smashing and now lives in my memory as part of the restaurant's color palette. The whole team kept a four-hour lunch buoyant. Courses and "satellites" kept arriving at the exact moment you were ready for the next idea, which is harder than it looks.
Even the framing details felt considered. The seasonal "universe" gives you a theme without confining the cooking. The pairing programs are curated rather than showy, and there is a clear sustainability thread that reads as Danish common sense rather than branding. It is a long meal, yes, but it moves. You never feel stuck. You feel carried.
Photos can capture the beauty of the plates but not the quiet confidence behind them. Geranium is exotic in look and feel, deeply Danish in temperament and flavor, and composed with the kind of discipline that makes novelty taste inevitable. A world-class experience, and an easy five stars.

Ce fut un immense plaisir de revenir chez Geranium. On se sent toujours privilégier en rentrant dans ce lieu mythique.
Le menu est grandiose, les plats incroyablement élégants, le dressage magnifique et les cuissons parfaitement maîtrisées.
Comment ne pas se rappeler que tant de choses ont démarré ici. Comment ne pas s’émerveiller devant la beauté de certaines assiettes.
Et si quelqu’un trouve que cette présentation si soignée est finalement assez classique, c’est que tant de restaurants se sont inspirés de Geranium !

¡Esta fue mi mejor experiencia! Disfrutamos cada minuto de ella. El ambiente, el personal maravilloso, la vajilla y luego, por supuesto, la comida y el vino y cómo se presentó la comida en nuestro post. No puedo decidir cuál fue el mejor plato; las margaritas de remolacha, las ostras, el hermoso plato vegetal o la mezcla de postres de chocolate...
