Coming Restaurants in Copenhagen

Copenhagen continues as the number one food-lover's destination in Scandinavia. Four new restaurants are making their way to the food scene in Copenhagen. Two are opening this Spring, and two are opening late 2007 or early 2008.

In Kongens Have Chef Rasmus Kofoed who in 2005 won bronze and in 2007 won silver in the Bocuse D'Or (the Biannual Chefs World Championship in Lyon) will be opening his own luxury restaurant in April, together with Søren Ledet, a friend and colleague known from Noma. The restaurant will serve lunch as well as evening meals and will be named after the plant: Geranium. This plant is known for its special scent and for its use as a spice in the kitchen. The organic and biodynamical will be emphasized on the menu.

In the large park by Frederiksberg Palace lies Boutique Hotel Josty, which was founded by Agostino Taddei, Italian sculptor, in 1813. Josty has eight rooms and an a-la-carte restaurant, which can seat 30 guests. The interior décor is a mix of chandeliers, gilt mirrors and Danish design furniture from Gubbi. Josty will open March 2007 with legendary restaurateur Lars Nielsen at the helm.

A delicatessen with its own dairy, bakery, kitchen and chocolate production, gourmet restaurant, a more informal brasserie and a charming all suite hotel with 12 rooms, all under one roof. This is the recipe for Løgismose-Tivoli's ambitious transformation of Brasserie 'N'. The former grandeur is now being revived at the legendary address in Tivoli.

The key word of the whole project is quality - in the architectural expression, in the furniture, and in everything that the new house will be producing. The building will undergo extensive renovation to restore the famous facade facing Tivoli to its original appearance. Expected opening will be late 2007, beginning of 2008.

At Israels Plads plans are that by the end of 2007, beginning of 2008 an approximately 7000 square meter area with granite paving will become Copenhagen's vegetable and flower market. 'Torvehallerne' will be made up of stalls 12,5, 25, 37,5 up to maximum 50 sq. meters to make sure that the stall owners will be mainly small, quality conscious producers of foodstuffs. There will be linden trees surrounding the outdoor stalls and around the lit columns of the steel constructions.
