Method

How the prices are counted

Per person, before service

Every figure is for one guest. Danish menu prices include 25% VAT and service, so these are the full prices before drinks; tipping is optional. Some restaurants add a fee for corporate cards or cards issued outside the EU. Supplements such as caviar courses are left out. Prices shown in other currencies use the day's exchange rate and are approximate.

Where prices come from

Dinner is the main tasting menu where there is one, and wine is the cheapest wine pairing for it. Where a restaurant offers menus of different lengths, the note says “from” and the shorter one is shown. Prices come from each restaurant's own website where they're published, otherwise from recent reviews. Lunch is shown where a restaurant serves it, and the note says which days.

Stars and reviews

Stars come from the MICHELIN Guide Nordic Countries 2026, announced on 1 June 2026. A green ▲ marks a restaurant that gained a star in the June 2025 or June 2026 guide; a red ▼ marks one that lost its stars.

Reviews ↗ opens the restaurant on Google Maps, with its rating and reviews as they are today. Critics’ pick marks a restaurant on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants (with 51–100 and the regional lists), OAD’s Top Restaurants or La Liste’s Top 1000. Members’ scores: signed-in members who’ve been there can score a restaurant from 1 to 5, once each; we show the average once five have, and leave out scores that look fake.
