Kadeau Copenhagen København

Kadeau was our first stop upon arrival in Copenhagen and hugely anticipated. Our plane was delayed- we fretted about missing our reservation. Kadeau was the epitome of hospitality taking us straight from the airport, luggage and all, almost 2 hours late. What unfolded over the next few hours was a journey of tastes, smells, beautiful wines and relaxed but personable service. Watching the kitchen staff create edible masterpieces alone was worth the price of admission. Was it expensive? Yes. Was it worth it? You bet!! If you are fortunate enough to be in the most wonderful city of copenhagen save your $$$ and make a reservation!

Excellent food, atmosphere, and service. The whole evening was a sensory experience on a whole other level. Great stories around the ingredients, well presented, amazing flavours. For two people I recommend doing both wine pairings to get an even more diverse pallet of flavours.

@lydieats 💕The best meal I had in cph. I rly think two stars do it better. Kadeau easily outshone both Geranium and Noma for me. Not only did it taste better (by a whole lot), but also felt like the purest expression of “new Nordic.” A restaurant that could only exist here and as a tourist, that alone makes it worth the trip 🙂‍↕️ Highly recommend. It starts strong, dehydrated tomatoes stuffed with Danish summer: rhubarb, spruce, and thyme. The more you chew, the more 🍅 comes through. Simple yet so complex. Then a garden salad from Bornholm, their home base. Every possible flavor came through—green, tart, sweet—refreshing and so appetizing. The next stretch leaned heavy on seafood, and I was impressed by how they balanced the strong brine (almost too much when consumed alone). A beautiful rye tart topped with cream cheese and mackerel. The mahogany clam, supposedly 20–30 years old, was super fishy on its own but revealed a subtle sweetness with the salted hazelnuts. Loved the poached oyster. The fig leaf oil, pickly ramps, tart buttermilk, and the sweetest peas, just brilliant. And then, the scallops 😮‍💨 Raw, rich, each piece covered with a different fruit leather: tomato, bay, orange, and strawberry. Every bite brought a different dimension. Easily one of the most intelligent and beautifully executed dishes of the night. The signature hot & cold smoked salmon! It’s soft, flaky, salty, and deeply fragrant - h as the texture of both raw and cooked salmon. Lavender butter and pickled berries added layers of brightness to elevate it all 🙂‍↕️ From there, indulgence: brown crab meat, sweet and gently briny layered between a waffle cracker and bits of cauliflower. Then, caviar over fresh walnuts and seaweed salad, enriched with pumpkin seed oil. Fun, nutty, and delicate—almost playful in how it shifted the spotlight away from the caviar itself. My fav dish was the squid paired with sweet Danish potato, brown butter, and rosehip oil. The texture was unreal and the flavors nutty, buttery, floral. Easily a standout 💯 The lobster was another highlight, perfectly poached in buttermilk with a sauce from its head. Creamy, buttery, with a touch of sourness that lifted everything. Pork layered with celeriac and spruce followed, tasting almost like caramelized bacon and onion. A touch salty, but very interesting. Desserts leaned earthy and bold 👀 A preserved cherry leaf stuffed with marzipan and jam, then a dense triangle of rhubarb, beetroot, and plum over bee pollen milk—complex, jammy, and quite intense. The finale was a walnut tart where every layer from crust, filling to cream sang of walnuts and honey. Can’t say these were my type of desserts but loved the rich Danish roots expressed in every dish. 💕 growing season 3500 DKK 코펜하겐에서 가장 인상 깊었던 식사 🥹 일주일사이에 방문했던 노마나 제라늄이랑 비교했을때 여기가 훨씬 맛있었고 뉴 노르딕이라는 퀴진을 가장 잘 보여주었다. 이 나라, 이 도시에서만 경험할 수 있는 식당이라, 여행자로서 방문할 가치가 충분함!!

This place was mediocre at best and that's not even considering the price. Service got worse as the night went on. They came on strong but it seemed that the staff cared less after the first 2 hours. For some reason our meal took 4 hours. We were waiting for long periods of time between plates during the second half of the meal. There are so many better restaurants in Copenhagen, don't waste your time here. Also almost every dish was seafood.

Long overdue review. I have been twice to Kadeau. Once when it had 1 Michelin star and once when it had two. Both times were phenomenal. Creative, innovative and mind-bending experience. Most recent one was an anniversary dinner with my then girlfriend and now wife. Everything was incredible, except perhaps for the bill :p

Amazing experience, staff is the best

One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. An exceptional experience from start to finish, with a succession of around fifteen dishes, each more remarkable than the last. Most of the service is provided by the cooks themselves, who explain each dish with great precision, all in perfect fluidity.

Kadeau is the best top 50 restaurant I’ve ever been to. The staff, food and ambiance is spectacular. Food was exceptional in technique and in the flavors of their food. My favorite dishes were the “last seasons tomatoes”, the raw shrimps with mahogany clams and their oysters with havgus cheese. Pancho, Spencer, Kyu, Cosmo, Leo, Alex, Alberto, Francesco and team were such a treat. Hopeful to be lucky enough to visit again soon.

Very good experience, top staff, magnificent meal and wine pairings, top-notch cozy atmosphere.

Amazing service. We had 3 young kids with us and the team went out of their way to make us feel welcome. One of the chefs even came over to play chess with the kids. The food was on point too but the service was what really stood out !
