How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
a|o|c
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
a|o|c holds two Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 93 points (2026), operating from the vaulted 17th-century cellars of Moltkes Palæ near Kongens Nytorv. Chef Søren Selin runs a creative small-plates format with a fully plant-based option, open Wednesday through Saturday from 6 pm. One of Copenhagen's most architecturally distinctive fine-dining addresses at the €€€€ price tier.
akmē
1 Michelin star
A Michelin Plate recipient on Copenhagen's Nordhavn waterfront, akmē works a fusion register at the €€€ price point, sitting a tier below the city's starred heavy-hitters while drawing on the same culture of precision that defines the broader Copenhagen dining scene. With a near-well-suited, it is earning attention as a considered alternative to the city's larger reputation.
Alchemist
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Few restaurants in Europe ask as much of a guest as Alchemist. Set inside a former industrial space on Copenhagen's Refshaleøen peninsula, Rasmus Munk's project runs to 50 'impressions' across roughly seven hours, folding art installation, theatre, and ingredient-driven cooking into a single sitting. Two Michelin stars, a #8 ranking on the World's 50 Best list in 2024, and the #1 position on Opinionated About Dining's European ranking for two consecutive years place it in a tier with few peers.
Alouette
1 Michelin star
Alouette operates on Kronprinsessegade in central Copenhagen, structuring its tasting experience around twelve to fifteen servings divided into four farm-specific Plots. The menu reads as a document of Danish agricultural relationships rather than a conventional chef showcase. One Michelin star (2025) and a position inside the Opinionated About Dining Top 100 in Europe place it firmly within the city's serious tasting-menu tier.
Aure
1 Michelin star
Holding a Michelin star since 2024 and a White Star wine recognition, Aure sits at the serious end of Copenhagen's creative dining tier, occupying a waterfront address on Krudtløbsvej in the southern harbour district. Chef Beau MacMillan leads a creative menu format that positions the restaurant among the city's most considered one-star tables. Bookings are competitive; plan well in advance.
formel B
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred address on Vesterbrogade, formel B operates outside Copenhagen's tasting-menu orthodoxy with an à la carte format built around roughly 20 dishes and a fixed-price five-course selection. Ranked 544th in the Opinionated About Dining Europe list for 2025, it holds its star for the second consecutive year. Chef Kristian Arpe-Møller's kitchen leans heavily plant-forward without committing to a fully vegetarian structure.
Geranium
3 Michelin stars · Wine Spectator Grand Award · Deep wine list
Denmark's only three-Michelin-star restaurant, Geranium occupies the eighth floor of Copenhagen's Parken stadium with a menu that runs approximately 80% plant-based across 20-plus courses. Chef Rasmus Kofoed, the sole chef to have won gold, silver, and bronze at the Bocuse d'Or, leads a program recognised by the World's 50 Best (#1, 2022) and La Liste (98pts, 2026). The wine list, selected by co-owner Søren Ledet, spans 6,085 selections across 22,900 bottles.
Jatak
1 Michelin star
Jatak Copenhagen brings Chinese high-heat logic into the city’s modern tasting-menu register, with Jonathan Tam using Danish produce, Asian recipes and a counter-led format to tighten the distance between kitchen and diner. Its Solar menu follows 24 micro-seasons, while Opinionated About Dining rankings in 2023, 2024 and 2025 place it in a serious European conversation rather than a local novelty slot.
Kadeau
3 Michelin stars
Kadeau places Copenhagen New Nordic cooking in direct conversation with Bornholm, using preservation, acidity and island produce as its grammar rather than decoration. Its recognition from Michelin, La Liste, Opinionated About Dining, Star Wine List and The World’s 50 Best Restaurants puts it in the city’s serious tasting-menu tier, but the sharper point is its micro-local reading of season and place.
Koan
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Koan holds two Michelin stars and a place in the World's 50 Best at number 91 (2025), making it one of Copenhagen's most credentialed new arrivals. Chef Kristian Baumann works at the intersection of New Nordic and kaiseki traditions, producing a format that sits outside the city's established fine-dining categories. At Langeliniekaj, the harbour address signals its own kind of intent.
Kong Hans Kælder
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Kong Hans Kælder holds two Michelin stars and a position on La Liste's 2026 ranking at 87 points, operating from a medieval cellar in central Copenhagen. The kitchen under Chef Mark Lundgaard works in the French fine-dining tradition, with white tablecloths, suited service, tableside trolleys, and a wine list that has held Star Wine List recognition every year since 2020. Service runs Wednesday through Saturday from 6pm.
Lille Mølle
1 Michelin star
Lille Mølle occupies a quietly significant address on Christianshavns Voldgade, where Copenhagen's canal-side character meets a dining room that rewards attention. The kitchen operates in a register more restrained than the city's showpiece tasting-menu circuit, making it a reference point for how the Danish capital reads fine dining outside the spotlight of its most decorated addresses.
Marchal
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Marchal holds a Michelin star inside Hotel d'Angleterre, Copenhagen's most storied grand hotel on Kongens Nytorv. Chef Jakob de Neergaard works a French-Nordic idiom that sits at a distinct remove from the city's New Nordic mainstream, placing Marchal among a small cohort of Copenhagen restaurants where classical technique and formal hospitality take precedence over foraging provenance. Ranked #180 in Europe by Opinionated About Dining (2025), it operates across three daily services, seven days a week.
Noma
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Noma holds three Michelin stars and a multi-year record atop the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, making it the restaurant most associated with the global rise of New Nordic cooking. René Redzepi's kitchen on Refshalevej organises the year into three seasonal programmes built around foraged and local ingredients. Booking windows run months ahead, and dinner service runs Tuesday through Friday only.
Søllerød Kro
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A 17th-century thatched inn on the edge of a pond in Holte, Søllerød Kro holds one Michelin star and ranks among Europe's top classical restaurants on both Opinionated About Dining and La Liste. Chef Brian Mark Hansen leads a kitchen where classical technique is the foundation rather than the conceit, paired with a wine list that has earned consecutive Star Wine List recognition, twice ranked number one.
Sushi Anaba
1 Michelin star
Sushi Anaba holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining top-100 ranking for its edomae-format counter in Copenhagen's Nordhavn district, where chef Mads Battefeld applies Tokyo training to Nordic catches including Norwegian scallop and Jutland lobster. The sake list reaches beyond familiar labels into lesser-known producers. The kitchen runs Thursday through Saturday evenings, with Friday and Saturday lunch service also available.
texture
1 Michelin star
texture is a Michelin one-star Modern Cuisine restaurant in Copenhagen from chef Karim Khouani, set in a whitewashed townhouse with an intimate basement dining room. The cooking is French-based but shaped by Marseille, Italian and Moroccan influences, with luxury ingredients treated through a technical, ingredient-led lens.
The Samuel
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred French-Mediterranean restaurant in Hellerup, north of Copenhagen's centre, The Samuel sits at the more classically oriented edge of Denmark's fine dining scene. Ranked in Opinionated About Dining's Classical Europe list three consecutive years, it pairs a kitchen led by chef-owner Jonathan K. Berntsen with a wine program of 3,500 bottles weighted toward Champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux.
Udtryk
1 Michelin star
Udtryk earned its Michelin star in 2025 under chef Ogawa Yusaku, placing this creative Copenhagen restaurant inside the city's smaller, more technically ambitious tier. For Copenhagen's repeat-visitor circuit, it has become a reliable address for food that rewards attention.
