Radio
This is Noma co-founder Claus Meyer's bid to bring the New Nordic concept to a more informal, mid-priced environment in the city. Expect fiercely seasonal, locavore riffs on roots, foraged fare and game. restaurantradio.dk
Geist
Celebrity chef Bo Bech's chic club-like space on Copenhagen's Kongens Nytorv presents avant-garde pairings such as smoked eel with endive and white chocolate, and sweetbread with air-dried potato. restaurantgeist.dk
Geranium
Having finally won the gold Bocuse d'Or in 2011 after bagging bronze and silver in previous years, chef Rasmus Kofoed has reopened in an unlikely setting high up in the national stadium. Stunning views with refined, biodynamic haute cuisine to match. geranium.dk
Malling & Schmidt
Famed for its oak-infused ice cream, this eponymous husband-and-wife team have created Jutland's answer to Noma, taking foraged-for produce and transforming it into future food. mallingschmidt.dk
