Jordnær

Why it is on the list

Jordnær holds three stars in the 2026 Michelin Guide Denmark.¹ It is one of three Danish restaurants at that level, with Geranium and Kadeau Copenhagen.² Tina and Eric Kragh Vildgaard opened it in April 2017 in the renovated Gentofte Hotel; it gained its first star in February 2018, its second in February 2020 and its third in May 2024.² The kitchen cooks one menu of 15 dishes built almost entirely on the sea: king crab, lobster, bluefin otoro with Kaluga caviar, Gillardeau oysters, langoustine, and turbot with caviar, ending with Shizuoka crown melon.³

It is the wrong table for a vegetarian or vegan: there is no such menu, and the kitchen meets some allergies and diets but not all.³ Take Geranium or Kadeau Copenhagen instead.

Discretion

On an ordinary evening the table shares the room with other guests.³ A group of 25 or more can book the whole restaurant for a closed dinner on any day of the week, which keeps every other guest out; the price for it is not published, so ask info@restaurantjordnaer.dk.⁷
