Acclaimed chef Claus Meyer, host of television series “New Scandinavian Cooking” displays distinct flavors of Danish cuisine


Copenhagen and the Øresund region are home to a wealth of culinary experiences, from traditional Scandinavian dishes to the crisp flavors of contemporary Nordic cuisine focusing on the quality and simplicity of the wild and organically grown ingredients found in Nordic climes.


Copenhagen boasts 8 Michelin-starred restaurants. The region also hosts a yearly food festival, Copenhagen Cooking. Held in late August, Copenhagen Cooking is a tribute to Scandinavia’s gastronomic traditions with special emphasis on the excellent local products. Numerous restaurants in Copenhagen and the surrounding Øresund region serve special menus and local delicacies can also be savored in public parks and markets.


Visit Denmark is a proud supporter of the New Scandinavian Cuisine series. In one of its biggest marketing campaigns, Denmark’s official tourism promotion authority embarks an estimated 100 million viewers in over 70 countries on a tantalizing journey through some of Denmark’s most picturesque regions while introducing the country’s wealthy food culture. 


Eating well is an integral part of a pleasant travel experience and the Danish kitchen is of superior quality, characterized by distinct and authentic flavors and health benefits.
