Yeah, well. I have realized that it’s quite an expensive hobby I’ve got. Maybe a few Google ads can pay for the wine… or some of it. Or one of the p4s 🙂 So, click a few, if you’d like to, and support my quest for very good food.

The Summer Trip
Ridiculous name for this post as it was raining almost the whole time and the temperature barely exceeded 20 degrees Celsius. But anyway, I originally planned that the bimmer should ride me through German, Dutch, Belgian and French dining experiences, but the very last minute I decided to skip France to the benefit of a… Continue reading The Summer Trip
Intimate Ensemble
Ensemble is a restaurant I have desired to visit for a very long time. It even had two Michelin stars for a short while until 2006 when the sous chef Morten Schou and Nikolaj Egebøl took over from Jens Vestergård and Mikkel Maarbjerg. It’s a small and very intimate place serving food based on the… Continue reading Intimate Ensemble
FC Foodies Finish Sixth in the Grand Gourmet Five-A-Side Tournament 2008
On a cloudy and grey Sunday June 22nd, the first Five-A-Side Football Tournament for Copenhagen’s top restaurants became a reality. The event was organised by Daniel, pastry chef at noma and five days before the big day, I got invited to join the tournament with a team of food bloggers. As you probably imagine, it… Continue reading FC Foodies Finish Sixth in the Grand Gourmet Five-A-Side Tournament 2008
Glashuset – Private Dining at the Glassblower’s Table
NOTE: New owner. Kim Møller-Kjær has moved to Villa Vest now! Glashuset has a concept called The Glassblower’s Table which is inspired by that of the Chef’s Table. The big unclothed oak table with a rough look is not placed near the kitchen though, but at the glassblower’s workshop and show room. In fact, I… Continue reading Glashuset – Private Dining at the Glassblower’s Table
Why I Never Get Tired of Noma
I have to show you the photos from my latest noma lunch, because René did it again! The menu I got on April 30 completely overwhelmed me. This is why I’ll never be tired of dining at noma; the variations at all times and the urge to serve and please every new or often frequenting… Continue reading Why I Never Get Tired of Noma
Madeleines Madteater – an almost food performance?
Reading several very positive Danish reviews of Madeleines Madteater I was very much in doubt about how I would like this kind of entertainment comprising both a show as well as a feast of some kind. When I dine out, the food always gets my 100% attention, and I was therefore afraid that I would… Continue reading Madeleines Madteater – an almost food performance?
Noma and the Surprise
Can you bear another noma post? Mum and me like to meet for a mother-daughter day once or twice a year, and for our date set to 13 March 2008 I had decided that I would invite my mum to noma for lunch. Not the biggest surprise, I know, but anyway. My first revisit to… Continue reading Noma and the Surprise
Geranium Revisited
My recent Geranium experience on 12 March was wonderful. What stroke me this time was the combination of the extreme kindness from the staff in a very down to earth way and, of course, the quality and creativity of the food. It’s my second time at Geranium and this time was even better, than my… Continue reading Geranium Revisited
Trine Needs Slimming
I must share this with you. If this isn’t gluttony, then I don’t know what is. Four great restaurants in four days, how about that? A couple of months ago I scheduled a weekend trip to visit a couple of restaurants, I’d never tried, outside Copenhagen. By coincident it happened that I would revisit my… Continue reading Trine Needs Slimming
It’s Official! Copenhagen’s Michelin Stars 2008
It’s official! The red Michelin Guide for the Main Cities of Europe 2008 awards following Danish restaurants in this year’s guide. 12 stars in a rather small city like Copenhagen. I think that’s great!! Two stars: Noma ** One star: Ensemble * Era Ora * formel B * Geranium * (New) Kiin Kiin * (New)… Continue reading It’s Official! Copenhagen’s Michelin Stars 2008
Food and Thoughts and Talk at noma
I took the day off from work to do something for myself. Eating out at an exclusive restaurant is my refuge, my hideaway, especially when my busy life is sucking out my energy. Fine dining is for me like stepping into another world for a short time. Even more so when I’m out on my… Continue reading Food and Thoughts and Talk at noma
Michelin Stars?
Last year, I announced when the Michelin guide to the Main Cities of Europe 2007 was released. The 2008 one is not out yet. Although the Michelin guides are neither the only guides nor the best on to how to find nice dining places, I am impatient. I’m sure, also that I am not the… Continue reading Michelin Stars?
Splendid St. John and St. John Bread and Wine
Tim? I’m not sure whether you’re still reading my blog from from time to time, but I’d like to thank you for mentioning your favourite restaurant in London: St. John. It was the first time I ever heard about the place, and since that day I’ve wanted to try it at the first chance I… Continue reading Splendid St. John and St. John Bread and Wine
Dining with Chuck
I discovered Chuck’s blog through Luxeat, which I have mentioned here before. Chuck lives in California, is a sharp food critique and writes very thorough and honest reports about his eating experiences from all over the world. Read for example his El Poblet review from October 2007. In his descriptions he is very precise, and… Continue reading Dining with Chuck
The 2007 Very Good Food Evaluation
It’s new years, and that always inspire people to make new years resolutions thinking back and feeling the need to do something about their bad habits and become a better human being. This is not what this post is about. I never make new years resolutions, because I know I could never keep them for… Continue reading The 2007 Very Good Food Evaluation
Noma and Grandma
I wanted to take my grandma to noma for a very special reason, and I’ll tell you, but first I need you to know a little bit about her to put it all into perspective. My grandmother grew up in a working-class Østerbro (Copenhagen) flat during the thirties and the 2. world war and she… Continue reading Noma and Grandma

Nomaddiction
I love the autumn. The colourful trees in bright yellow and powerful red coats, the blue water peeping out between the naked branches at the far end of my garden, the brown leaf on the lawn of my cottage. The autumn is my favourite season, the scents so earthy of moist decay, the red squirrel… Continue reading Nomaddiction
