The Gastronomy label scheme makes it easier for you as a consumer to find quality restaurants that offer a memorable gastronomic experience.

An excellent eating experience

All over Denmark there are interesting restaurants and primary producers that prepare, grow and develop Danish food culture both in and outside the kitchen. But good eating experiences have to be visible.

This is the reason why the quality label Gastronomy Denmark has been developed. The purpose of the label is to ensure guests a good and attentive eating experience in Denmark. The label makes it easier to find restaurants, with opinions and ideas about their products, and where food and good service is a top priority.

Quality Criteria

A restaurant or a primary producer can achieve the quality label if they comply with 10 mandatory criteria. It is required that the business:

• Predominantly uses fresh Danish foods and produce.
• Uses the produce in season.
• Has knowledge about the origin of foods and produce.
• Employs trained and qualified kitchen and waiter personal.
• Has ideas and opinions about food, quality, preparation and cooking.
• Runs a kitchen with an unquestionable hygiene.

The criteria have been developed in close co-operation with leading chefs in Denmark and can only be met in places where qualified personal provide guests with a memorable gastronomical experience.
