NOTE: This restaurant has close down! Actually it’s the third time I visit MR. First time was in 2006, the most recent was in 2007 and so now on 25 August was my third visit, this time having the whole restaurant to myself. Well, not entirely to myself. I had the pleasure of being the… Continue reading MR Revisited
Ads? Nah!
As long as Google Adwords can’t match the content of my blog any better than with lipo suction, diet products and other totally irrelevant ads, I won’t smudge Very Good Food with them. Personally, I don’t like ads on blogs very much, especially not when it’s difficult to figure out what’s the real content and… Continue reading Ads? Nah!
Camera Comments
I’ve decided to create a Camera Comments page to gather all the camera comments there so they are easy to find in the future instead of attched to various post I publish. Feel free to add any comments or questions about photography there! 🙂
In de Wulf – Go There!
The weather was lovely, the sun shining and the sky blue with white puffy clouds here and there above the old red bricks farm of In de Wulf. I arrived in the late afternoon on a stunning summer day. We are in the Belgian countryside far from everything but close to green and yellow softly… Continue reading In de Wulf – Go There!

Restaurant RĂ©sidence – Classic Elegance
It wasn’t a recommendation but the need for an overnight accommodation that made me select this place after reading about it in the L’Arte de Vivre and Michelin guides. I simply was in the neighbourhood. I selected this hotel because of Restaurant RĂ©sidence. The restaurant is part of the hotel villa and situated in the… Continue reading Restaurant RĂ©sidence – Classic Elegance
Huh, ads?
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 VestergĂĄrd 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
Kiin Kiin – Thai Food with Distinction and Dedication
First time I became familiar with Kiin Kiin was when I a fine day in September 2007 was walking from Sankt Hans Torv towards the Empire Cinema. I stopped to take a look at the menu on the wall of this discrete and new restaurant. I am the first to admit that my knowledge about… Continue reading Kiin Kiin – Thai Food with Distinction and Dedication
FACIL – Modern German Dining
Just back from Berlin, where I highly treasured the pieces of restaurant advice I had got. Thanks very much, Ingo! I tried two restaurants and this is how I experienced the first one, Facil. Facil has one * Michelin and is a modern and elegant restaurant which is part of the hotel Mandala in Potsdamer… Continue reading FACIL – Modern German Dining
Why I Never Get Tired of Noma
I have to show you the photos from my latest noma lunch, because RenĂ© 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
Paris Report #1
You know already that I took pleasure in dining at Pierre Gagnaire, which was my first 3* Michelin experience in Paris. I would like also to tell you about other great food experiences I had in the fantastic City of Light. During the last couple of months I have been to Paris twice: one time… Continue reading Paris Report #1
Discovering Pierre Gagnaire – and a Friendship
“Let me know the day you’re ready for Gagnaire… I’ll join too”, this is what Laurent wrote to me months ago and by that the first very good food / Gatros on Tour epicurious date saw light. Laurent discovered my very good food blog, when he was searching for some information about noma prior to… Continue reading Discovering Pierre Gagnaire – and a Friendship

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
Il Mio Divino
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
