Just a month and a half after Danish restaurant NOMA was awarded the title of World's Best Restaurant, Danish gastronomy has won again. This time it is chef Rasmus Kofoed who has received the title of Europe's Best Chef.
Norwegian halibut and Swiss veal were the main disciplines when the European Championship for chefs, the prestigious Bocuse d'Or Europe, was held on 8 June 2010 in Geneva. The reigning European champion, Norway, had to be content with second place, with France taking bronze. In all, 24 countries took part.

Rasmus trained at the Hotel d'Angleterre in Copenhagen and has also been head chef at Krogs Fiskrestaurant, Egoisten, TyvenKokkenOsv., Gastronomique and Geranium.
