Zooming in on Two Stars: Kadeau Copenhagen
"In the fifth edition of theMICHELIN Guide Nordic Countries, which was launched on February 19, 2018, Kadeau Copenhagen was promoted from one star—which it has held since 2013—to two. Kadeau’s location means that is easy to miss if you don’t know where it is, which gives it an air of exclusivity: look out for the plaque, ring the bell and wait for the heavy door to swing open. First, you’ll be taken to the lounge to enjoy a welcoming bowl of broth, then you’ll be shown through to the cool, understated restaurant where you are warmly greeted by chefs in the open kitchen. The softly lit room is a jewel of sleek Nordic design, and furs draped over the chairs add to the warm, comfortable feel. One glance at the copper-filled kitchen and you’ll immediately start to understand the philosophy here—the surfaces are laden with jars containing various preserved and fermented ingredients and the wood-fired oven takes center stage. It is clear the chefs have an innate understanding of how best to match fresh and aged produce, and while the cooking moves with the seasons, they use their experience in preserving and fermenting to showcase ingredients which have been harvested throughout the year." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team
