Competing alongside Noma, Denmark’s most famous restaurant, Geranium has recently been named as the country’s first three-star restaurant. Its chef, Rasmus Kofoed, is dedicated in body and soul to find dishes that awaken the senses, provoke remembrances and enrich those who taste them’. To do this, he pays tribute to biodynamic crops and surprises everyone with dishes such as minerals with sour cream or through his way of understanding Nordic fish.

Osteria Francescana
For many, this Italian restaurant marks a before and after in the presentation of their dishes, conceived as authentic works of art. From Modena (Italy), chef Massimo Bottura was acclaimed in 2016 as the best in the world. He barely has 11 tables, the Netflix documentary series Chef’s Table dedicated its first episode to the chef, and his best-known dessert is called ‘Oops! I’ve dropped the lemon tart!’ This was created by accident when a dish spilt on the floor. Pure vanguard.
