This summer, Rasmus Kofoed's restaurant received a prestigious award from its colleagues at The World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards, held in London.
The Geranium restaurant is located in Copenhagen’s Parken, the football stadium that’s home to the Danish national football team. It’s more picturesque than it sounds—set on the eighth floor, the dining room is all light woods and creamy walls, and is flooded with light from the huge windows. In 2022, Kofoed and the team decided to revamp the restaurant and the menu they served here. The chefs no longer use meat in their dishes, although seafood is still a star player.
Meals are made up of 22 tasting-style dishes and change with the seasons. The menu might include artfully contorted salted herring with algae and dill stems or pretty winter greens with flowering Brussels sprouts and leeks. The menu costs about EUR415, and there are options to add a range of wine pairings or non-alcoholic drink pairings too.
Geranium’s first entry on the World’s 50 Best list came in 2013, the same year it was awarded two Michelin stars. The team earned a third Michelin star in 2016, making it the first Danish restaurant to achieve the maximum number of stars.
