Founded by two Noma alumni, it is dedicated to creating great cuisine from sustainable sources, a commitment that’s earned it a place on the list of the world’s 50 best restaurants (at number 39, one of only two Copenhagen restaurants to be so recognized). The menu is vegetable-centric, with such dishes Jerusalem artichoke mousse with passionfruit and coffee or fried salsify with salsify purée and bergamot. There are two menus: The Relæ Menu for 475 kroner ($75) or the Relæ Experience for 895 kroner ($143), with wines an additional 395 kroner ($63) or 685 kroner ($110), respectively."
