By a sudden impulse I had a nice late lunch yesterday at one of my favourite places on the north coast of Zealand about half hour’s drive from Copenhagen. I’ve been coming here on and off for many years – more often obviously after I got a car and after my mum invited my grandma… Continue reading Il Mio Divino

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
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
Fat Duck – Intriguing and Intelligent
Fat Duck. Where do I start. To be honest I have actually only been familiar with this restaurant for months, not years. Ironically, a colleague of mine, who would never ever imagine to be inside any fancy restaurant, pointed me to the Fat Duck’s website. There was something about that website that intrigued me at… Continue reading Fat Duck – Intriguing and Intelligent
Restaurationen – Classic Danish Cuisine
Last night I dined at Restaurationen, owned and run by Lisbeth and Bo Jacobsen since 1991. It’s my second visit there, and ever since my first time, which was lovely, I had longing to go back. Bo and Restaurationen had a Michelin star for a couple of years during the late nineties, I think it… Continue reading Restaurationen – Classic Danish Cuisine
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
Texture – Upcoming Gourmet Place
During my latest visit to London I had the pleasure of lunching with to new friends, Yin and her niece Ming, on the 1st of December 2007. I felt lucky to meet up with them in London, as I for some time had thought it would be good fun to eventually meet face to face.… Continue reading Texture – Upcoming Gourmet Place
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
A Falsled Kro Appetizer
I don’t quite remember the first time I heard about the adorable place of Falsled Kro, and it has always been my dream to go there one day. I didn’t seriously expect to ever go there, though, until I initiated this blog about very good food. Stuck once again in Copenhagen suburb traffic Friday afternoon,… Continue reading A Falsled Kro Appetizer

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
FAMO 51 Photos – Fantastic Food
The Italian trattoria style restaurant FAMO 51 has become one of my favourite low end dining places. Simple, variant, creative and above all deliciously good food. I have written about FAMO 51 before at my blog but not shown any pictures of the food I eat there. A couple of days ago the restaurant was… Continue reading FAMO 51 Photos – Fantastic Food
La Pergola – Is this what the *** Michelin is all about?
A stunning view, posh interior, excellent food, fine service – a fantastic experience. Sounds of horse shoes on cobblestones, a murmur of Italian business men dressed in black and brown suits, gesticulating when talking loud on the phone, Dutch, German, Chinese, American voices and even Danish, the splashing water from the fountains I pass by… Continue reading La Pergola – Is this what the *** Michelin is all about?

El Gustazo – My Spanish Mood
NB! This restaurant is closed down and doesn’t exsist anymore. My baby brother and I had talked for a long time about visiting El Gustazo together. We wanted to do it for months but didn’t carry it into effect until Friday 7 September. Before I go on, I need to state a disclaimer. My brother… Continue reading El Gustazo – My Spanish Mood
Restaurant Koefoed Revisited
With the fridge comprising nothing but some Parmasan and Präst cheese morsels, capers in salt and a glass of old olives a sudden improvised dinner in town at Restaurant Koefoed saw light on Thursday 6 September. I had phoned a couple of restaurants in vain for a booking and then came to think of this… Continue reading Restaurant Koefoed Revisited
At Colourful Paul’s
A little appetizer Copenhagen is great when it comes to eating out. Well, that said by a Dane, of course. What I mean is, although I dine out very often, there are still great places that I haven’t been too, yet, and where I want to go. Copenhagen has such variety someone once said. It’s… Continue reading At Colourful Paul’s
La Nave – Simple and Honest
I’d like to tell you about La Nave. La Nave is located on the Ligurian Riviera in a tiny town named San Michele di Pagana between Rapallo and Portofino. It’s a family style trattoria, very down to earth and very friendly. The food is simple and classic Italian dishes and very good. The reason why… Continue reading La Nave – Simple and Honest
Unique noma
I love noma. I just do. Of all the places where I have dined until this date, noma is the best one. Noma’s food is brilliant. Nothing more, nothing less. Pure and seducing. Noma’s like a drug. Skate wing and mussel liquor with cauliflower in different textures I wanted to dine at noma this special… Continue reading Unique noma
