We just finished our meal a couple hours ago, and I couldn't wait to write this review. My husband and I have been fortunate enough to have dined at many of the world's best restaurants including Noma, Alchemist, and Geranium here in Copenhagen. While each is unique and deserves the recognition they've received, it's Restaurant Jordnær that we're looking forward to returning to. The highest quality ingredients are used in fresh and inventive ways without sacrificing deliciousness. Flavors are bold yet beautifully balanced, and the joy with which Chef Eric executes the dishes can be felt in every course. While Chef works his magic in the kitchen and then serves many of the dishes throughout the evening, Tina casts a spell on the diners, and works her abundance of charm and talent in the front-of-house. Together, this husband and wife team have surrounded themselves with a staff that delivers the type of service that is an extension of themselves: warm, passionate, and extremely professional without feeling at all buttoned up or stuffy. There simply aren't enough superlatives to express how special our experience was, and how much we appreciated all the design and ambiance elements (plates, carafes, artwork, great playlist, perfect lighting for food photography, sparklingly clean kitchen, and toothpicks in the bathroom)! It's only a matter of time before Jordnær gets their very well-deserved third star. Thank you Tina & Chef Eric!

Everything is very close to perfect at this place. The service is attentive, friendly and good. The food is incredibly well thought, balance and tasty and the place is nice, comfortable and very welcoming. I had the opportunity to enjoy the non-alcoholic pairing and I really enjoyed it. Also, we were given an extra dessert because of our special occasion celebration which was also very much appreciated. So, this is an absolute recommendation if you wish to enjoy and high end quality dinner. No disappointment. Unfortunately, and very sadly, we had a small incident with one of the dishes which contained an ingredient for which we are intolerant for and by mistake it was given to us. From that moment, the atmosphere changed, and so it did the full experience, which is the only reason why I can’t give a full all 5 ⭐️ on this review. Of course apologies followed and that was very much appreciated but it seemed it set us back on a weird place and set the tone for the dinner, which was sad since we weren’t that upset or making a big deal out of it. I have the feeling that for a recognised restaurant we should have been able to reset the tone if dealt with it slightly differently and get back on track. Well maybe food for thought for next time they have a similar experience. Nevertheless we did enjoy it very much and had a pleasant time.

The newly awarded three-star Michelin restaurant Jordnær in Denmark, which means down to earth, opened in 2017 and is located on the first floor of the Gentofte Hotel (purchased by Alf Arp-Hansen in 1960). It was awarded one star by Michelin at the beginning of its opening. In 2020, Jordnær won his second Michelin star and occupied Rank 38 in 2022, which shocked all Michelin restaurants in Northern Europe, because it is well known that this is a restaurant without any external funding. The restaurant is helmed by a couple, chef Eric Kragh Vildgaard (who worked in Noma in Denmark for three years and stayed in Japan and France for 1 year each) and restaurant manager and sommelier Tina Kragh Vildgaard (mother of 6 children). On the menu, the chef combines Norwegian shrimp dishes with Icelandic mustard and horseradish sauce. King crab is mixed with blue mussels and Wadduwa spices. Fresh halibut with langoustines, layered with black truffles.

It's hard to find any fault or flaw with this restaurant, everything was perfection, not just the food. Each course was an exciting new taste sensation, each serving (the act of bringing in the posts) a small choreography, the chefs were incredibly knowledgeable and open to answering questions, and the staff were flawless when we arrived and left. The head chef dropped by too, to discuss some of the finer choices in ingredients, and we could not have asked for me. If I had to find something, it was that the chefs with their covid-masks had a hard time making themselves heard to the entire party of six, but a menu was laid out for each guest (so it's not really a criticism, but it was they only thing I could think of). I don't drink, but the ones who did couldn't stop praising the wines as perfect pairings.

Ultimate dinner!!! Chef Eric & Tina are the best, it’s my 2nd time here in Gentofte and we had the kitchen table (VIP only). As usual high quality ingredients, it’s very hard to choose a favourite dish because I didn’t want this to end. Starting with snacks of course, the Takoyaki is not to be missed with black truffles of course, eat it while it’s hot. Then for the bigger dishes; king crab, the langoustine 😮💨 seafood in Denmark hits totally different. Of course desserts and sweets did not disappoint; that honey dish was super memorable. Petit fours really ended dinner on a high. I saw them again when they had a collab dinner with Odette in Singapore. And guess what, I’m going to dinner with some friends later this year. Please go and experience this for yourself, they will be 3 🌟 soon. Trust me

This was just an average fine dining experience by international standards with above average prices - perhaps one would say “overrated”. Some of the dishes were well executed but others were a disappointment such a main that tasted like dessert, too many dishes featuring langoustine and rather bland “run of the mill” desserts. Overall, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to go back here as there are many other better valued and innovative 2 Michelin star restaurants to chose from.
