19/09/2024: I went here a few weeks ago with my partner. We visited from the United States, and I kept seeing this restaurant pop up when searching for great restaurants in Copenhagen. Vaekst was, by far, the best restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life. We ordered the appetizer, 2 entrees, a dessert, and the wine pairing. Our server was personable and elevated the dining experience. Vaekst is a dinner that you simply cannot miss.
17/09/2024: We closed out our adventure in Copenhagen with an unforgettable dinner at Vækst, a stunning greenhouse-inspired restaurant that brings a modern twist to traditional Nordic cuisine.
From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by an airy, plant-filled interior that feels like a cozy oasis in the heart of the city. The ambiance alone sets the stage for a magical dining experience, with natural light pouring in through the glass walls and greenery draped from every corner.
As for the food—every dish was a masterpiece, both in presentation and flavor. Vækst’s approach to Nordic cuisine emphasizes fresh, seasonal ingredients, and it shines through in every bite. The tasting menu we opted for was thoughtfully curated, balancing delicate flavors with bold, earthy elements. Standout dishes included a perfectly cooked cod with a subtle but tangy buttermilk sauce, and a carrot tartare that was so vibrant, it almost felt like a garden on the plate.
The wine pairing was another highlight. Each glass was carefully selected to complement the complex flavors of the dishes without overwhelming them. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about their craft, adding a personal touch to the entire experience.
Vækst is not just a meal—it’s an immersive journey into the best of modern Nordic cuisine, set in a space that makes you feel connected to nature. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Copenhagen, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!
