Denmark: Jordnaer tops the charts for the first time

The restaurant rankings for Denmark have a new leader in 2026. For the first time, Jordnaer in Copenhagen is the country’s best restaurant. Last year, it was still in third place. Last year’s top-ranked restaurant, Noma, is no longer rated in all the guides this year due to the temporary relocation of its operations to California, and has dropped to ninth place. Geranium in Copenhagen retains its second-place position from last year. It now shares this position with Kadeau in Copenhagen, which has climbed from fifth place following its upgrade to three stars. The only new entry in the top 10 is Henne Kirkeby Kro in Henne, which has moved up from eleventh place last year.

The highest-ranked new entry in the list is Lille Mølle in Copenhagen, in 33rd place. The ‘Rising Star of the Year’ is Udtryk in Copenhagen, which has climbed from 79th to 38th place. The 2026 ranking includes 86 restaurants. That is eight fewer than last year. The assessment draws on ratings from the Michelin Guide Nordic Countries, the Best Chef Awards, Falstaff, Opinionated about Dining and the White Guide.
