Alchemist

Copenhagen, Denmark

2 Michelin stars

Few restaurants in Europe ask as much of a guest as Alchemist.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Positioned on Gammel Mønt in Copenhagen's inner city, Apéro holds a White Star recognition from Star Wine List, signalling a wine program that punches above its neighbourhood footprint.

Den Vandrette

Copenhagen, Denmark

Den Vandrette is a natural wine bar on Copenhagen's harbour front that has earned consecutive top-two finishes on Star Wine List and a place on Opinionated About Dining's European casual rankings since 2023. Its Georgian-Nordic concept draws on the bar's own import portfolio, making the list less a curated selection than a working cellar translated directly to the table. Open Tuesday through Saturday evenings, it sits in a different register from the city's tasting-menu circuit entirely.
