Returned to Jordnear in Copenhagen tonight for another stellar meal. Chef Eric, his wife Tina, and the entire staff just returned from a 2 month stint in Switzerland and are back as good (if not better) than ever.
Still a fully seafood focused menu (Chef Eric had been playing around with some meat dishes, but decided to stay seafood), but excellent all around. Masterful use of spice, sauces, and caviar (in an additive way, not a “look I can add caviar to every dish and make it “luxury”” way).
I had one dinner in Copenhagen and having eaten at all of the 3 and 2 stars except for Koan, this was the only one I really wanted to return to.
Service was excellent as always and the Champagne pairing was lovely, especially for someone who loves champagne like I do.
Favorite bites: tuna with aged soy, wasabi and caviar; the hamachi, and the new brioche/milk bread hybrid.
Also hear that Chef Eric is going to be doing a couple of dinners in Australia in July and a collaboration dinner with Zilte (Antwerp 3 star) in September. You should definitely go to any of these if you can take it to the main restaurant in Copenhagen.

    Agreed. Been last year, sat at the kitchen table. Again mind blowing experience. Going again this May. Can’t wait 😎

  2. Looks super amazing. Haven’t felt the need for a fancy tasting in awhile but this might’ve inspired me. Thank you.

  3. Do you remember what was on the pairing? They used to, but are not listing the champagnes glasses on the wine list.

  4. My favorite restaurant in the world. Tina and Eric are amazing and the food is perfect for my palate.

  5. I also ate at the same time as you, our paths probably crossed.

    Echoing the assessment – and I had the champagne pairing as well! 🙂

    Also… great playlist and the fact that they accommodate solo diners without problems is highly appreciated.

  6. wow that’s beautiful.. I really regret falling asleep and missing my reservation lol

  7. that looks spectacular, even by “Michelin standards”

    I particularly like that no dish seems unnecessarily, patronizingly fussy

  8. Hitting NOMA in August and was looking at adding one more fine dining while we are in town. This might be it now.
