Der er kommet nye fremragende folk i suppe, steg og is-køkkenet. De laver nu knivskarp gourmetmad. Fem retter for 325 kroner - synes det i særklasse er det bedste value for money-måltid, jeg har fået i Kbh. Skynd dig at omtale det, før stedets lidt bedagede rygte går ud over det gode initiativ. Lasse PS: Nej - har ikke fået procenter fra stedet - altså ikke ud over dem, der var i den tilhørende vinmenu, men kan sætte til de fem retter, og så bliver prisen 600 kroner. Rimeligt, ikke?

We had dinner at MR in its former incarnation, and enjoyed it. Would you choose MR over Sollerod Kro? As for Stockholm, it worries me that you were not able to get a reservation at either place. How far in advance did you try? The trip would be disappointed without having dinner at my desired choices, both in Stockholm and Copenhagen. Do you have any suggestions? Finally, as for New York, I like Eleven Madison Park for high end. I have not been to Per Se. The sushi and 15 East -- if you sit at the counter is great. Cocktails at the Barroom at The Modern are delicious. Don't waste your time on the NYC cupcake craze, since most are mediocre (except Sugar Sweet Sunshine on Rivington St.). Personally, I don't think the NYC restaurant scene compares to Copenhagen's, which I find fresher and superior. Again, many thanks for your help, Nancy Hi Trine. Thanks for your response.

Wow, you've been to elBulli, lucky, lucky you! @Nancy So good to hear that you're coming back here! I know zero about when Geranium will open up again, but I will let you all know here when the boys have set the date. AOC is a must, I believe - assuming you have read about my experience there. MR & Paustian are both good. Other options are Søllerød Kro http://verygoodfood.dk/tag/soelleroed-kro/ or Mielcke & Hurtigkarl http://verygoodfood.dk/2009/07/06/seduced-by-mielcke-hurtigkarl/ as you'll be here during summer and can eat outside. M&H is situated in the most beautiful flower garden of Frederiksberg. If it's not warm enough for dining outside, at least you can enjoy the apperitif with the view to the garden. I love Kiin Kiin http://verygoodfood.dk/tag/kiin-kiin/ too by the way... In Stockholm I myself wanted last year to visit Franzén/lindeberg and Matthias Dahlgreen http://www.mathiasdahlgren.com/(both 2-stars in the 2010 guide), but was unable to get a reservation. I visited Mistal http://verygoodfood.dk/tag/mistral/ which also comes highly recommendable. Now I have a question for you :-) Where would you recommend med to dine in NYC? @Haan In month of July many of the best restaurants close for a few weeks but good to hear that you have settled Kiin Kiin already. Since I am not a cook/chef I have no real connection/info to "the back stage stuff" but I would recommend you contact any of the places I list on the gastronauts guide to Copenhagen page http://verygoodfood.dk/gastroguide/ @Julian Many thanks for your request :-) Have sent you an email.

I am a cook from Canada who is coming in July to Copenhagen on a year-long working holiday visa. So, I thought that I wold ask your opinion on some things. Do you have any recommendations for good restaurants that you think I should try to work at? I have an Asian cooking background and have a stage set up at Kiin Kiin. I hope I can get a job there but nothing is for sure yet. Casual or fine dining restaurants are both fine, I just want to make sure that they are busy and are held in a high regard by the food community. Or maybe you have some tips on which kitchens are the most friendly or best at teaching? I would love to hear back from you and get some feedback. Thank you so much, Haan Hi Trine,

I want to thank you for your recommendation of Texture in London. We had a wonderful meal there last week. This summer, we plan to return to Copenhagen in late August. We want to return to Noma and Geranium (assuming it has opened by then). Where else would you suggest? We will have two more dinners. I am thinking MR or Paustian or AOC. Would you recommend these? Or perhaps suggest others? Also, we will be in Stockholm for 3 days and would love suggestions if you have them. Many thanks in advance, Nancy Hi Trine.
