Jordnær Gentofte

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

Hands down one of the best meals of my life. I am part of a foodies group called Hungries which has a special perk of booking a table right in the kitchen. This is a true treat to see how the chefs work and everyone were so nice and answered any question I had. Had the non-alcoholic pairing which was exactly what you want from a pairing, it matched the dishes perfectly and balanced it if there was heat or uplifted it if I was a more fresh dish. The ingredients really tell the story in this restaurant and each dish presented its own complex combination. The staff were fabulous and super friendly, the owner was charming as well! This elevated the dinner experience as well. I have been to many restaurants but this one should be on the top of anyone who wants to experience amazing food.

Best meal ever! Great selection of burgs!

Wow! Where do I even start with the amazing time we had at Jordnær? From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with open arms and guided to our cozy table by the lovely Tina. Our group of four got lucky with a snug spot in the private dining room, complete with a gorgeous wooden table, comfy chairs, and beautiful decor. The natural light pouring in from the windows made everything feel so warm and inviting! The service was absolutely top-notch. Our fantastic server, Gonçalo, who spoke Portuguese, went above and beyond to make our evening special. He picked out two incredible white wines for us—one was a crisp Riesling, and the other was a luxurious Meursault. And we can’t forget about Max, who made our dessert even better by pairing it with the perfect wine! Now, let’s dive into the menu! This incredible dining experience featured 17 courses, all highlighting fish, seafood, and vegetables from local, international, and Japanese cuisines—what a bold and exciting approach! Chef Eric and his amazing team turned these ingredients into stunning dishes that were a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. You could truly feel the love and creativity in every bite, making it a joyful celebration of flavor and artistry! The first part of the meal had 5 “small bites” that were simply outstanding—there was nothing small about their flavor! Everything was fantastic, but the Bluefin Otoro and Rosette Waffle definitely stole the show. As for the main courses, each dish was not only beautiful but also packed with delicious complexity. It's tough to pick a favorite, but I absolutely loved the Langoustine, Lobster, and Turbot! And don’t get me started on the desserts—they were beautifully crafted, not overly sweet, and very tasty. Chef Eric even came to our table to chat and share some stories about the dishes and his background, which was really nice. If I had to find just one tiny suggestion for improvement, it would be about their location. While it’s not bad, a restaurant this fantastic would thrive in an even more vibrant neighborhood. 22/5/25

One the best dining experience. Delicious food that brings emotion and outstanding warm service that makes you feel welcomed.

You really understand the quality in a 3 Michelin star restaurant. From the welcome to the decoration to the service to the food, it deserves 3 stars. Chef Eric and his team do an excellent job.

A Soulful Culinary Experience Beyond the Stars In a culinary landscape like Denmark’s, where so many restaurants seem preoccupied with crafting an extravagant experience — focused on theatrics, aesthetics, and the endless chase for what looks exceptional — Jordnær stands as a quiet, powerful reminder of what truly matters. Here, the spotlight is not on illusion, but on substance. Every dish is rooted in flavor, technique, and seasonality — not for the sake of impressing, but simply because it tastes right. This is food that speaks directly to the heart. Food that, in a world of flashy minimalism and curated "moments," feels generous, warm, and deeply human. The service is outstanding — intuitive, sincere, and never overbearing. There is a genuine warmth in the atmosphere, a softness that welcomes you rather than intimidates. You feel like a guest, not a visitor. What’s perhaps most moving is the sense that this place was built by people, not investors. Every corner, every detail, every plate tells a story of dedication — of a couple who pour their soul into what they do. You feel it in the calm confidence of the experience, in the effortless rhythm of the meal, and in the rare humility of a team that clearly has nothing to prove — because they’ve already arrived at excellence. Jordnær is, quite simply, flawless. And in being so, it dares to be different. We need restaurants like this — to remind us what hospitality can be when it’s honest, unfiltered, and full of love. May you continue to stand out by staying grounded.

We visited the restaurant on 14-03-2025. The experience was truly exceptional. My wife and I have dined at various Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, but this one stood out in a remarkable way. Perhaps it is time for the Michelin organization to consider creating a fourth star— Jordnaer certainly deserves it.

Obviously an incredible place to eat. Everything from start to end was just perfect. Eating on my own I was a bit nervous at the start but Tina at front of house and the rest of the staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming. The food was obviously absolutely divine. Some really interesting courses as well as the staples. Also received a tour around the the kitchen. Once in a lifetime restaurant experience. Highly recommend

Wow. That's all that needs to be said! But I will also say the restaurant went ABOVE AND BEYOND when we had a last minute change to our reservation due to an emergency. They were extremely helpful and gracious even though I'm sure it took a lot of rearranging on their behalf. Thank you staff at Jordnaer for a lovely evening.
