After Noma: Recommended restaurants in Copenhagen
Noma is known worldwide, and few restaurants reach its level. Earning three Michelin stars and being named the world’s best multiple times is no small feat. However, at the end of 2025 the restaurant will close to make way for a food laboratory – and in the future, Noma will appear only as pop-ups in Denmark and around the world. Fortunately, Copenhagen offers plenty of other outstanding dining experiences after Noma – and this guide to recommended restaurants in the Danish capital will help you find them.

Kadeau has spent over a decade perfecting its craft, earning 2 Michelin stars and a place among Copenhagen’s most celebrated restaurants. As the city outpost of its sister restaurant on Bornholm, Kadeau’s philosophy is rooted in New Nordic cuisine, with deep ties to nature and the island’s rich heritage.
The menu celebrates Bornholm’s produce, featuring ingredients from Kadeau’s own garden and dishes enhanced by fermentation and preservation techniques. Ranked number 41 on the prestigious World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, Kadeau offers an unforgettable dining experience.
Located in the charming neighbourhood of Christianshavn, Kadeau is easily reached from both Admiral Hotel and Villa Copenhagen via the M1 or M2 metro lines.
3. Alchemist
Step into a multi-sensory universe where fine dining meets art, theatre, and bold creativity. Chef Rasmus Munk, winner of Best Chef Awards 2024 and holder of 2 Michelin stars, invites guests on an extraordinary more than six-hour journey that pushes the boundaries of taste and imagination.
Tucked away in the industrial Refshaleøen area, Alchemist is within easy reach of Strawberry hotels in Copenhagen. From Villa Copenhagen and Comfort Hotel™ Vesterbro, bus 2A takes you directly to the door, while guests at Admiral Hotel can enjoy a scenic harbour bus ride from Nyhavn to Refshaleøen — just a short walk from the restaurant.
Dining at Alchemist is a highly theatrical affair divided into 'Acts' and set across several locations, including a spectacular planetarium-like dome.
The technically complex and highly creative dishes are as much social commentary as they are culinary art.
The restaurant's global reputation is cemented by its impressive number 5 ranking on the prestigious World's 50 Best Restaurants list.

4. Kong Hans Kælder
Kong Hans Kælder: Dine in one of Copenhagen’s oldest cellars, dating back over 700 years to the reign of King Hans. Head Chef Mark Lundgaard, holder of 2 Michelin stars, brings a refined New Nordic touch to classic French cuisine, creating dishes such as his signature Roasted Black Lobster served with white asparagus, asparagus–lobster mousse, and a light, frothy asparagus sauce.
Located in the heart of the historic centre, the restaurant is a short, pleasant walk from Admiral Hotel. Guests at Villa Copenhagen or Comfort Hotel™ Vesterbro can arrive just as easily via the M1, M2, or M3 metro to Kongens Nytorv — bringing you just moments away from your dining experience.
Once the residence of legendary author Hans Christian Andersen, the restaurant's vaulted ceilings and soft lighting create a truly intimate and wonderfully historic atmosphere, making it a place to savour more than just the food.
An open kitchen also invites guests to observe the chef and his team at work, adding a layer of theatre to the historic setting.
