Dear Trine,
leaving copenhagen today – I had great days also thanks to you! Yesterday at Paul’s it’s been quite a private atmosphere – good I was there.
Anyway I’ve got to come back …

Hi Angelika!
Relæ is definitely worth it – here’s my post http://verygoodfood.dk/2011/02/19/rel%C3%A6-in-summer/.
Paul and formel B are equally at the top. Love both places. The Paul has the last season this year and will close completely after September, so this is your last chance

Hi Trine, I’m on my way to Copenhagen in a few days – is Relæ worth a visit? and for monday which seems to be a difficult day Formel B or The Paul?

thx for some hints …

>AOC is it better now than before?
Yes!

>And im curious about Kiinkiins table no9. What is the experience compared to a normal visit?
Table #9 is tucked away from the other tables so thus more private They are sharper than 3 years ago!

*brunch&champange sunday
*Smorrebrod, Monday or Tuesday
*Cocktailbars, Monday & Tuesday
*Should I consider Kong Hans/Sollero Kro?

Also, FormelB had no tasting menu? Have you been there?
AOC is it better now than before? Was at Premisse 2006 and was really unsatisfied with food and service!

And im curious about Kiinkiins table no9. What is the experience compared to a normal visit? Visited KiinKiin 2008 and wasn´t really impressed with the food then.Great service though.
Have they gotten sharper during theese years?

Thanks again for a really great blogg.

WBR

Hi Julien
Thanks for spotting the typo and thanks for stating your opinion!

For noma, I had dinner then evening of 16th March and I was back after a break of 9 months (longest break after my first visit to noma). I feared that I couldn’t judge noma objectively anymore because I love the place so much. But you know what? noma was so much about three stars, food, service everything.

By: Julien

Julien — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 08:45:49 +0000

I love noma. This taken for granted, I already frequently pointed out that 2* for noma’s food are fully acceptable and the only comprehensible rating at the moment.

The stars are neither awarded for the whole dining experience (whis is definitely worth the trip), nor for the wonderful setting, the perfect service, René’s indisputable talent and courage, but only for what’s on the plate. (Imagine eating the dishes in a sterile tasting room.) As René imposes so many restrictions on his cooking, it just does not represent “culinary perfection” in matters of composition, balance, taste and deliciousness.

Again, I love that place, and I’ve rarely hat better dining experiences that at noma, but I’ve definitely eaten better. And this is what Michelin represents correctly from my point of view.

PS: You certainly mean “Main Cities of Europe 2011″

Thanks for pointing it out, Mads Bo! I’ve just moved Geranium to the “Rising” section

Sorry was confused that Geranium was listed under “one star”, but you mention in the text that it was “rising star”. My bad!

By: Mads Bo

Mads Bo — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 08:30:31 +0000

Geranium did not receive a star.

They received a “rising star” (half star)
