Every visit feels like stepping into a calm little oasis. Their seasonal prix fixe menu is always a highlight. The chefs at Vækst have a real talent for taking fresh, local ingredients and turning them into something both comforting and exciting. Each course is thoughtful, balanced, and full of bright Nordic flavors. I've never had a meal there that didn't feel memorable. Whether you're going for a special occasion or just want an evening of genuinely great food in a cozy setting, Vækst delivers every time. It's the place I recommend to anyone looking for an authentic, beautifully crafted Copenhagen dining experience.

It's some of the best in Copenhagen and very clear that all of the staff is not only fantastically trained but love what they do and are passionate about it. The restaurant itself is cozy and feels quite intimate which fits its identity as it is nestled between the sea, spa/hotel, and deer park. The fact that you can take a stroll before (or after) your meal in a UNESCO World Heritage site also earns it key points in my book. As I was commuting from central Copenhagen by public transit I was slightly concerned about the location. As it turned out it was extremely convenient and a pleasant 5 minute stroll from the train station which connected directly with Norreport. An amazing 8 course meal that was particularly fresh and flavorful. The lumpfish Røe was the best I've had, and it's one of my favorites. The lobster and sweetbread combo also stood out as world class.

The scallops were sliced delicately thin and tasted so incredibly fresh. The combination of the texture and flavor was magnificent. Main course was veal served medium rare with a lovely Bourbonnais sauce. If I'm not mistaken, this restaurant has a Michelin rating for 2018. If you are staying at the hotel, this same space is used for breakfast seating. Their breakfasts are lovely as well. Very typical danish breakfast with soft boiled eggs, meat and cheeses, homemade yogurt, a porridge dish, musilii, and scrambled eggs and bacon cups.

Starting with a simple but elegantly presented plate with multiple choice bites we were already quite satisfied when we were done with this and the bread. But then came the fantastic interpretation of the staple Danish pulled pork sandwich with cabbage, somehow deconstructed but yet familiar. This was really the highlight and star. Surprise number two came next with another mini main course, their interpretation of samosas. And then, a wonderful desert plate to finish. All the while with fresh and choice organic ingredients. Healthy can also taste so good! Will certainly come back here every time I'm in copenhagen.

A Michelin Star recipient in its first year, the second awarded in 2020 and since retained,…read moreRestaurant Jordnær is an ambitious project from Chef Eric Kragh Vildgaard and wife Tina who set out to create a "Down to Earth" fine dining concept where Food and service exist in perfect harmony. Part of the charming Gentofte municipality near Copenhagen, just twenty minutes by train, Jordnær dates back to Vildgaard's teen years when cooking gave clarity to troubled youth, his wife and mother of six children described as "someone to live for" serving as front-of-house manager who also greets guests and even answers e-mails. Part of ARP-Hansen Hotel Group's Gentofte Hotel, though nothing about Jordnær feels like a "Hotel Restaurant," it is after greetings from Tina that guests are led to a room both simple and elegant featuring light colors, glass, traditional lamps and a fireplace. Sharpened by three years at noma, though Eric's cooking expands well past fermentation and foraging in favor of ideal Ingredients that sometimes come from outside Scandinavia, opening bites are best enjoyed with Champagne and range from a delicate King Crab Bonbon or Lobster and Roe in a Tuile to a Tart of silky Tuna topped by a spoonful of Ossetra Imperial Caviar. Completely meat-free, though Eric is not a pescatarian, Jordnær's Rosset Waffle has become something of a signature piped with Fjord Shrimp Mousse beneath more Caviar while a Scallop skewered over White Currant Juice and its follow-up of "Langoustine Essence" are each two faultless bites then gone. Assertive with Oysters in a bath of Horseradish and Dill, then pulling the reins with Panna Cotta featuring Asparagus, Grapefruit and Lobster, Caviar makes another appearance as the Vildgaards' favorite Beluga Sevruga variety eaten in several spoonfuls amidst Miso and Black Currant Wood Oil. Never pretentious, Tina and Eric both presenting plates to each table even with Michelin starred Chefs dining alongside their spouses nearby, Amberjack arrives curled on clear glass awaiting Ponzu prior to housemade Bread plus Butter churned nearby. Taking no shortcuts, slowly cooked Turbot showing mother-of-pearl luminescence beneath a thin layer of truffled Farce, the Langoustine used previously for its essence soon arrives whole in warm Sauce before a sizable Takoyaki intended to be bitten in half with Truffle and Caviar consumed before using the bottom as a sponge on the plate. Well portioned with timely service, staff adapting to a diner's speed without a hitch, Dessert begins via smooth Mousse atop Berries before proceeding to a ring of herbal Custard and "Chamomile, Milk, Honey" that replicates a Honeycomb's appearance so accurately that one wonders if it is 3D printed. Not done yet, Mignardises highlighted by French classics and a warm Custard Tart served with Coffee or Tea clipped tableside, a final charming moment amongst dozens occurs as Tina leads guests to the exit and presents them with Bread, Butter and a signed Thank You note along with the menu.

They usually have a special of the day four course menu besides their current itemized menu. Having tried both options, I actually liked picking individual items from the menu rather than the pre-set four course menu. The pre-set one was very Danish, appetizer with Danish fish eggs (yeah, Danish caviar!), smoked salmon with cucumbers, Bornholm chicken and a mazarin cake. They all tasted very good but again it is pretty Danish. On the individual items from the menu, the foie gras appetizer is the best and the lamb dish is also very good. This place makes their own green sauce called "klorofyl" (!) and it is delicious, they serve it with few dishes together. Overall, setting is unmatched with Oresund views, atmosphere is cisp and chic, and the servers do a really good job. We were suprised to be asked how our food was during the meal (you don't always get this in Denmark). Approximate $: 500DKK/person (appetizer, main course, a bottle of wine shared)

Not sure if I've ever had this dish before but had their Gravlux. If I ever had this dish before, all memory of it was erased with theirs.

It's a great place to settle in for a relaxed meal without feeling rushed.

One dish I always look forward to is their mushroom toast, It's rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying. Their fish dishes are also consistently excellent, cooked with care and full of fresh, bright flavors. Whether you're looking for a comfortable dinner spot or a place to enjoy well-prepared Nordic-inspired dishes, Restaurant Tight is a solid choice. It's the kind of restaurant you walk out of already planning your next visit.
