Danish restaurant named best in Europe

Alchemist leads the way on OAD’s list with three Copenhagen joints ranking in the top 12. For the cream on the cake, the capital also had the best cheap eats

There is little doubt that Alchemist is an experience you don’t want to miss out on if you consider yourself to be a bit of a gastronomy fan.

That has now been further underlined by Opinionated About Dining (OAD), which has ranked the Copenhagen restaurant number one in Europe.

Alchemist, which is described as a progressive cuisine type, finished top of its 2021 list, followed by Restaurant Frantzén (Stockholm), Etxebarri (Axpe), Andreas Caminada (Fürstenau) and Lido 84 (Gardone Riviera).

Meanwhile, two other eateries based in the Danish capital also scored high marks as Germanium (10th) and Noma (11th) ranking high. 

Other Danish joints to feature on the list included Kadeau Bornholm (20th), Kadeau (Copenhagen, 32), Henne Kirkeby Kro (Henne, 34), AOC (Copenhagen, 38), Restaurant Jordnær (Copenhagen, 52) and Studio (Copenhagen, 53).

Østerberg Ice Cream came in sixth, while other Danish elements included Lille bakery (9th), Gasoline Grill (16), Coffee Collective (17), Hija de Sanchez (22), to mention a few.
