Unfortunately Geranium won't reopen in the same setting, at least. But whenever Søren and Rasmus get a new restaurant together then the news will be on Very Good Food at once! :-)Best from Trine Hello Hedy

By the way, they loved Copenhagen and had a wonderful weekend. Next time I'll go. In answer to your question, we live in Holland. Best wishes, Hedy Hello Trine,

I'm sorry but I can't really recommend any other eco/bio/organic place around here :-( There is <a href="http://biomio.dk/" rel="nofollow">BioMio</a> which is more of a cafeteria where you get the food yourself, but I have never been there.

Visit Copenhagen says temporary but all signs say otherwise. Any clue? Thank you. Can anyone recommend another good, and "Eco/bio/Organic" restaurant? Preferably one that's open! ;) Hey, does anyone know if Geranium is closed permanently or just temporarily . Visit Copenhagen says temporary but all signs say otherwise. Any clue? Thank you.

They just called, devastated, as they were standing in front of a closed Geranium, where my husband had reserved many months ago. Whatever the reasons for closing down, it is just not at all okay that we did not receive a cancellation email! It does not bode well for the owners' future ventures. Fortunately my husband and daughter will be going to Noma tomorrow, and am hoping that will save their special weekend.

I'm very sad to hear that you haven't been informed about Geranium's closure. That's really unfortunate.For noma, there's no probæem in asking for the greand menu for lunch and I highly recommend that you try that. This way you get some of the signature dishes as well.Herman at Nimb is a very good suggestion for Wednesday. Another option would be MR, Mielcke & Hurtigkarl, Søllerød Kro, Kiin Kiin (Thai haute cuisine with one Michelin star). See this page for contact details http://verygoodfood.dk/gastroguide/.About the food shops I use Løgismose http://www.loegismose.dk/ and Gourmandiet http://gourmandiet.dk/ which sells organic meat. The Food and Wine department in Magasin is also interesting. In Israels Plads there is a fruit and vegetables market.Let me know if you need any more help. :-) My email is verygoodfood at gmail com.Trine Dear Katha

(and if i wouldn't have read your blog, we would have gone there, because no one informed us, we got no cancellation-e-mail.) we have a reservation for noma, of course, and will be there this tuesday. what would you suggest instead of geranium? what about herman/nimb? and one more question: where do you usually buy food? are there recommended shops/markets? we would like to go there, too (more to look than to buy). i'm also very interested in organic food. i would be glad about an e-mail or a posting here. i'm an austrian food journalist, it's my first time in copenhagen, but i've been in greenland last year (so i'm even more curious about noma - ah, do you have any experience in aksing for "noma nassaaq" for lunch? i'm not sure if it's necessary - or if the 7-course-menu is "enough"...) thank you, katha dear trine,
