Dining at this 2022 Best Restaurant in the World winner (succeeding the legendary “Noma”) was an unexpected privilege magically secured for us at the last minute by the Nimb Hotel Concierge. Situated within the sleek new National Football Stadium located in Copenhagen’s central garden, “Geranium” is accessed at the stroke of opening hours by waiting lucky reserved guests via a tiny elevator from a nondescript small lobby that opens up to an unexpectedly light-flooded and airily spacious modernistic restaurant on the 8th floor. You are then ushered by group to your assigned table by the very welcoming hosting staff and dining commences once everyone is settled. The 3-Michelin star restaurant only offers meat-free seasonal Tasting Menus of about 20 courses that reflect Bocuse d’Or winner Chef Rasmus Kofoed’s inventive takes on Scandinavian cuisine highlighting Nordic seafood and local organic produce. The nigh 3-hour service is performatively executed in table order by sous-chefs who present their own platings from the finish kitchen arena at the front of the dining area. This offers diners a delightful opportunity to chat with these culinary aspirants about their own thoughful creations. As befits a restaurant co-owned by an advanced sommelier general manager, there are expensive wine-paired renditions of the tasting menu emanating from the restaurant’s notable wine cellars. Non-alcoholic editions are also offered. Following your feast of bite-sized delectable delights, you are invited by table to tour the back prep kitchen and meet the staging assistants who chortle at your startled sight of their back windows directly overlooking the stadium playing field. Free soccer viewing is a welcome bonus to their unheralded prepping efforts. After “family photographs” taken by table with the entire staff back at the final plating kitchen, you leave at your leisure with a little farewell gift presented by the reception desk. A nice little touch to cap an exceptional creative dining experience.

Sublime experience. The staff is so professional but warm and engaging but serve with precision. Each dish was beautiful and brought together the freshness of spring with layering of flavors so well composed that each layer was present. The Rare and Unique wine pairing was magnificent. The view, the tour and the soccer field contribute to making this the most special and memorable meal ever. We felt so lucky to have the experience.

A fantastic experience located on top of a football pitch. Filming of the hit show, The Bear. Creative flavors with gorgeous pottery- extensive wine cellar and very friendly owners. Fancy, expensive, worth it.

I have been luckily enough to eat in some amazing restaurants and my experiences just seem to be getting better with each bite. This restaurant based in a football stadium (with our match views) is by far the best so far. The experience, service, wine and food all the best yet. From stocking our favourite wines (yes all of them) to delivering mouthful after mouthful or sensational food. Wow You made a birthday experience to remember

Before starting this review I would just like to make a disclaimer for context: me and my family really enjoy going to fine dining restaurants and have been to many many 3-Michelin stars and 2-stars restaurants so we’re quite familiar with the procedures and prices of a fine dining restaurant and I believe we speak with property. We were all very excited for our experience at Geranium since it was considered the best restaurant in the world, but it turned out to be the absolute worst experience that we’ve ever had in a so said fine dining restaurant. For starters, we sat down and the first amuse-bouche took 50 MINUTES to come to the table, we had almost finished an entire bottle of wine by then. When it finally came it was a 2 centimetre tart that had nothing special about it and the next plate, once again, took 30-40 minutes to come. That went on the entire night and we stayed FOUR AND HALF HOURS in the restaurant - we arrived at 18:30 and left 23h, which is absolutely outrageous. Other than that, the menu was composed by SEVENTEEN dishes, which is also absurd, and all of the dishes were very very tiny and made it almost impossible to actually enjoy the flavour of the dishes (which was sometimes non-existant) because once you tasted it, it was gone. All of the dishes were composed basically of nicely cut vegetables with some sort of tasteless juice, in ridiculously small quantities. The best you will get from Geranium is a staff with nice smiles and overpriced vegetables, and possibly some wrinkles from aging while you endlessly wait for the next edible flower. The worst part of the dinner though was the check: the highest bill we’ve ever paid in a restaurant for the worst experience of our lives. I would absolutely not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Having been slightly disappointed in Noma a couple of years ago I was eager to see what this restaurant was all about. Well it’s definitely unique. Based on the 8th floor of a complex which houses the national football stadium for a start. Once you get out of the lift though you enter a very light and well considered room. Everything very, well, Skandi. Calmness prevails but there is also a warmness about the place which is carried throughout by the excellent waiting staff. So the menu itself is about twenty something small bite sized dishes. Obviously if you have an allergy or don’t like an ingredient they just substitute it. Very importantly it is a meat free menu. Now I must admit I hadn’t realised that and it may have impacted on whether I came. I have to say the lack of meat didn’t reduce my enjoyment one bit. In fact I came away feeling nicely full and very satisfied. That’s all down to the quality and innovation of the dishes. Everything was just so immaculate, well constructed and beautifully presented. It worked so well as a collective. Now we had the basic wine pairing but there are 4 options as well as just by the glass/bottle. Some excellent and interesting wines. I was a bit concerned when a Pinot noir appeared given no meat but it worked very well with the turbot. Obviously it’s not for the faint hearted as far as emptying the wallet goes but it’s a wonderful and special experience. I think at Noma we felt like part of somebody else’s experiment where as here we felt the experiment was done especially for us.
