Jordnær Gentofte

Incredible and unforgettable dining experience that I will always look back on. Chef Eric, Tina and the entire staff were incredible hosts and made us feel right at home. Beautiful plates, outstanding food, incredible company and great tunes. There is so much hard-work and talent shining through in all of the dishes. We had the best evening.

This is hands down one of the best meals I have ever had. I would highly recommend it and look forward to visiting them again at a later time!

Our experience at Restaurant Jordnær was the definition of perfect. I will describe point by point its qualities based on my personal point of view as a cuest and as a chef: Cuisine: The restaurant focuses mainly on Seafood and Vegetables. It emphasizes high-quality seafood and seasonal vegetables, crafted into bold and creative dishes. The very Creative and Technically Skillful Chef Eric Kragh Vildgaard showcases remarkable technical skills and a precise approach to cooking, with dishes offering layered flavors and beautiful presentations inspired in Nordic, Asian, and French Influences. The cuisine harmoniously blends Nordic traditions with Asian and French elements, resulting in a unique and intense flavor profile. I loved particulary the use of exclusive ingredients like caviar, truffles, and the best quality seafood, often sourced locally or selected with utmost care. The Standout Dishes and definmitely our favorites were; the fjord shrimp waffle with caviar, tuna tartlet with caviar, and grilled langoustine with yuzu kosho and sea buckthorn. The Hamachi with ponzu and wasabi, and the Chawanmushi, all were exsecuted with precision and complexity respectively. Service: Very warm and attentive: Especially Mrs. Tina Kragh Vildgaard, Chef Eric's wife; her service is consistent and very personal, warm, and attentive, yet relaxed. We very much appreciated that the owners greeted us personally, the chefs also explained the dishes, and an overall level of service that exceeds expectations. In a nutshell; the service was impeccable, professional, and knowledgeable, with staff expertly handling us from arrival to departure. Last but not least; Atmosphere: We describe it as sophisticated, yet comfortable and welcoming.The atmosphere is subtle and elegant, creating a pleasurable dining experience. Despite the luxurious ingredients and meticulous execution, the restaurant maintains a "down-to-earth" philosophy, making us and all the guests feel at ease. We cannot stop recommending this wonderful place. Hopefully we will come back soon and enjoy their wonders ove rna dover again. Thank you very much Jordnær for the wonderful experience. Warmest Culinary Regards, Chefs. Gianfranco & Anna Chiarini Dieci Boutique Restaurant

Impressive, fantastic and full of surprising flavors 🙏❤️❤️❤️🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

THE BEST IN THE WORLD! There aren’t even words to express how amazing this place is. The food is AMAZING and service is next level. Tina, is the best and is the heart and soul of that place! We just adore her!

I saw Eric Kragh Vildgaard as a guest chef at Ikarus (Servus TV). Rather than attending guest chef events, I prefer to experience chefs in their own kitchens, Denmark here we come 😊🇩🇰🫶. We were greeted in Gentofte by Tina Kragh Vildgaard. We had a charming email exchange with her beforehand. We are easygoing guests, but we have a preference regarding seating in the restaurant. Our wishes were fulfilled. "Tina" has a wonderful presence. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with her. All the service staff and the chefs, who repeatedly came to the table and explained dishes, were very jovial but never distant. We experienced excellent, very attentive, and highly competent service. The restaurant and interior are decorated in a light color palette. Many windows allow natural light into the room. Soft lighting and candlelight create a cozy atmosphere. We really enjoyed it and felt at home right from the moment we arrived at our table. The atmosphere in the dining room developed magnificently over the course of the evening. The international crowd was cheerful and pleasantly loud. And the "soundtrack" that I often criticize? Vinyl was playing. ABBA, Queen, Creedence Clearwater Revival, etc., and surprisingly, it worked perfectly. I could fill pages with text about what we ate. But I won't. One masterpiece after another arrived, far too complex to describe everything in detail. Some of the dishes seem quite pared down. Often, it's only partially clear what you're about to consume. Yet everything you see makes sense. Even the multitude of blossoms is pure aromatic poetry. Here, they work to the limit. Wafer-thin, delicate, crispy. In terms of quality and craftsmanship, it's hard to beat this. The eye doesn't reveal how incredibly complex the dishes are. While the nose promises much, the sophisticated gourmet's palate reveals the distinct components, sensational. And so, even I, a "chatterbox," was occasionally speechless with excitement. Eric's dishes deeply moved me. After many years of enjoying the highest standards, this happens extremely rarely these days, which is why I'm all the more delighted by this feeling. From now on, the Jordnær is my reference for the highest quality and finesse 💯. My wife and I spontaneously decided that this fantastic experience had to be repeated. And while we're on our way north 🚘, we'd love to combine it with the Haerlin (Hamburg) and the Frantzén (Stockholm). Tina thought our idea was great 😊.

Impeccable! Fine dining with incredible food and sophisticated yet casual service. Thank you so much for having us 🫶🏼

Tina, Eric and team are such wonderful people and truly show they care. It was raining when we visited and they were waiting at the door with umbrellas to bring us inside. I don’t think I’ve ever had that happen at numerous other similar calibre places (e.g French laundry, Odette, le cinq) in similar weather. Odette and le cinq are also in hotels so not many excuses there. Thé food of course was superlative with creative flavor combos and a judicious use of caviar which I loved. Seriously though, the service was so warm and personal to a whole other level. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. It made coming to Copenhagen totally worth it.

We finally had the opportunity to visit again for the First Saturday Of the Month Luncheon in their Private Dining room in June 2025 and everything was as always PERFECT. We simply cannot recall another *** Michelin Star restaurant anywhere in the world where you feel so welcome from the minute you arrive to the minute you leave. Erik, Tina and their team just got it right :) The pre-menu starts strong with 3 appetizers to die for and we can only recommend ordering as much champagne as needed to match. The menu that follows is a symphony of flavors being build up to a very strong finish. Depending on your wine preferences there are 3 different pairings plus an amazing bottle wine list to choose from. For those who love dining at this level Jordnær is a must on the list of restaurants around the world to try. Just be mindful that the cost per person for the menu, standard wine pairing and extra champagne will set you back approximately $1000,- per person. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do …

A really great experience... Even though it's an experience on the expensive end, it's worth a visit. 😃🥂
