Denmark offers a vast selection of culinary experiences.

It can be simple: A freshly smoked herring enjoyed by the quayside or a suasage with bread at one of the many traditional hot dog stands in town.

Or steeped in tradition: An open sandwich with buttered rye bread or an omelette with bacon and chives.

In Denmark you have a wide choice of cuisine; from Michelin-starred restaurants to classic regional dishes served at roaside inns with history and traditions reaching back to the Middle Ages.

Danish gastronomy has undergone quite a revolution in the last decade, due to the innovative Danish chefs who don't simply look overseas for influences, but have learned to exploit the wonderful natural resources of the Nordic larder.

Especially Copenhagen is leading the way, and has been lauded in publications such as the Michelin Guide, Condé Nast Traveller and Wallpaper.

Finally, the rest of the world is waking up to new interpretations of the wonderful dishes that Danes have known and loved for years.
