Copenhagen, Denmark's capital city, is the undisputed gourmet capital of the world

It may be a gloomy winter city with little international connectivity in a cold country where agriculture is a challenge. But Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is the undisputed gourmet capital of the world.

Much of this is down to just one restaurant: René Redzepi's Noma. With three Michelin stars, Noma is the most influential restaurant of our era and has been rated the 'World's Best Restaurant' by The World's 50 Best Restaurants a record five times. Its influence radiates globally, with alumni and former interns finding fame in their home countries (including Indian chefs like Prateek Sadhu, Gresham Fernandes and Garima Arora).

The success of Noma has played a pivotal role in propelling Copenhagen to emerge as an adult playground for global gourmets who can afford to jet in solely for the pleasure of exceptional dining. If you're contemplating a gastronomic adventure in Copenhagen, here are three restaurants that should be on top of your list.

NOMA 2.0

Nestled on the periphery of central Copenhagen, amidst gardens and beside a lake, Noma 2.0 offers guests a panoramic view of the natural wonders surrounding the restaurant. Having savoured Redzepi's creations thrice in the past year, it's almost unjust to encapsulate the essence of Noma in a single definition. Unlike most top restaurants, it has no signature dishes and no permanent menu. Instead, it presents three unique menus annually: Vegetables, Game and Forest, and Seafood. No dish is ever repeated, so each time you go, it's like eating at a different restaurant. Yet, the unmistakable style of Redzepi persists throughout.
