Geranium is the World's Best Restaurant 2022! Copenhagen Stays No. 1 on the World’s 50 Best List
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Head chef Rasmus Kofoed is one of the world's most decorated chefs, and the only person ever to win bronze, silver, and gold in Bocuse d'Or. Together with sommelier Søren Ledet, he runs the three Michelin-starred Geranium on the top floor of Copenhagen's main football stadium.
Chef Kofoed's interpretation of New Nordic cuisine is simultaneously precise and poetic, food art on a plate. It's no surprise that Geranium climbed to the no. 2 spot on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2021. In March 2022, Geranium scrapped all of its signature dishes and started anew with a completely meat-free menu. When we shot this video in May, we didn't know for sure if it would become the world's best restaurant this year, but that's what we predicted. Luckily, we got it right!

I love how absolutely down to earth and delightful in manner Chef Rasmus Cofoed is. This is the proof that positive energy can bring all sorts of amazing developments in any workplace.
Absolutely!
Don't be fooled. That man must have 110% dedication and must expect that from all his kitchen staff. This includes reaching timelines and making his employees do the necessary. If not so, No. 1 worldwide would be totally out of question.
kinda like ramsey i thought it said ramsus
*ramsay
Kofoed*
This is one of your best videos. I love how you've taken the extra step to get an interview with Rasmus to accompany the menu.
Thanks a lot! 🙏🏻
Definitely the best sports stadium food I’ve seen
Lol
I have been waiting for this video for 4 years. This was the first video I watched that was made by you. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Haha, amazing! The remake. ;)
I’m Brazilian, gastronomy’s lover and I got pretty fascinated with your video
Glad you liked it!
I found out about him 11 years ago through a Bocuse D'or documentary I was watching, where I believe the US team got 10th. I searched to see who got 1st, and it was Rasmus Kofoed from Denmark. One day, I hope to be able to go to Denmark and dine at Geranium. One of the very few Michelin restaurants I want to experience.
It's a must! Hope you get to go one day.
This video was amazing. I’ll happy watch any other restaurants you visit and do to this style.
Awesome! Please subscribe for more and check out some of our newer videos. :)
Thanks for sharing! Another wonderful video😃
Thank you! Cheers!
They just did!!! #1 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 Amazing video!!
Thanks!
Great video Mr. Anders and Mrs. Kaitlin! 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing content and great production! Love it!
Much appreciated!
My meal there was absolutely one of the great days of my life. Geranium gave me a moment in time where I felt like my life was so very blessed. I could not recommend a visit there highly enough.
Amazing! That's what the magic of hospitality is all about.
Absolutely stunning. A visual merriment of creativity. One can only wonder at the flavors. Bravo to this team.
We agree!
Me encanta como muestras en el vídeo tanto el menú así como también la visión del chef sobre la experiencia de comer. Excelente edición y contenido.
¡Gracias! Me alegro de que te haya gustado.
great video. like always. thnx Anders and Kaitlin
Thanks for watching!
This actually has food I would want to eat and a non pretentious environment. Thank you for sharing x
Thanks for watching!
Yes, simple environment but seriously pretentious food. Oh, for the good old days of NOMA. lol
This is a lovely video! Although you have had chefs explaining certain dishes in prior videos, I really enjoy how this is starting to take more of a center stage, so to say, because it really adds an extra dimension to what we are seeing in front of us which in this case is some of the most exquisitely presented food I have ever seen in my life!!! Not only that, but seeing chefs being truly honest about the direction they may wish to take their restaurant in is quite refreshing. While this is their right, all too often we see chefs acting as though this knowledge is some sort of secret when, in reality, Chef Rasmus himself explained that even he doesn’t truly know for sure where his heart will lead him in the future when it comes to his cooking. I think my favorite dishes had to be among the desserts, particularly the pumpkin one. I love how the cloudberry’s bracing acidity hopefully doesn’t dominate the dish but, instead, ideally balanced the earthy sweetness of the pumpkin and the gentle caramel warmth of the crisp. In all, beautifully done! I look forward to the next one!!!
Glad you liked it!
if u ask 90 percent of the folks on the street would they care to eat such a menu, without informing them of anything else that might influence their opinions like 3 star Michelin or whatnot.....they would probably say no....are u kidding me?iv seen more delicious foods and meals in those asmr cooking videos in the jungle and wildlife and the streets of asia and south east asia than this garbage....
but of course if u want ur 3 michelin stars, u want ur food to be seen "bourgeiosie" or "haute couture" or high society or whatever u have to go in a certain direction......the chef have to claim their personalities and who they are always follow a certain mold......theres always duck consomme in the menu....caviar.......truffes sprinkled and olive oil drizzled on everything......little bite size of god knows what......u have to aspire towards veganism.......u have to suddenly develop a taste for snails and cockles and parsley snips laid upon a english water cracker.....everything has to resemble either fish eggs or sago seeds like its squirrel food for squirrel people.....the food resembles almost like a more refined more high class couture version of IKEA food court....u can almost sense the same creativity and energy kofoed just like the sveland people put into their furniture and living room experience.
and at michelin 3 star reastaurants,they are not serving u food but rather an experience, that is if u were walking down a supermarket and having a 9 course meal of samples handed to you....
chynese from asia but not from chyna.....OUT!!!!!!
@@jont2576 I’m so sorry you feel this way. Truly, I am. Although I would have preferred if you spoke your mind in a less hostile manor, I understand your opinion. But I hope one day that your opinion will change. I hope you one day find that restaurant that will fill you with the pleasure that only a true, haute cuisine experience can give you.
What an amazing restaurant - I can’t wait to try Geranium!
Thanks for this beautiful video to showcase them.
Thanks, Don.
No 1 now
Yup!
It was so much fun to see a meal I've also experienced here. ❤️
Cool! :D
I wish there was a youtube channel focusing on wine pairings in these amazing restaurants! fantastic video!
That would be cool!
Alcohol is poison
@@Starkesea a lot of things can be poison if you have too much of it, including the Internet. ;)
A super good video that captures the fantastic atmosphere at Geranium, and I love that you noticed my botanical art on the wall 😍
Oh, how cool that it's your art! Very pretty. 😍
Very happy to have seen the best food revue video… great to see the whole dish in every step......keep on doing ......great job :)
Thank you!
love this video, and the chef and crew---thanks-😊❤...
Glad you enjoyed it
A lovely peek into the best restaurant in the world. Thank you for letting us see the magic of Geranium!
Our pleasure!
Wow this all looks so good!
It was!
He sounds relaxed and passionate. Very nice!
Watching this while eating cup noodles...bliss
Heaven!
Love this :)
Glad you like it!
Amazing detail, flavor and beauty in every dish. Like being in an edible forest.
Couldn't agree more!
Congratulations Chef Rasmus #1 in the world..
You guys predicted it..he truly deserves it
Yay! :)
I find creative restaurants like this very interesting. If I ever get enough money, I would love to dine there some day.
You should!
Best menu video ever!!!!!
Thanks!
Im glad he seems like he treats his staff well, I don’t think the top chef in the world would have the same attitude 15 years ago
Agree!
10:26 oh wow, I’m happy to know that they use Flair58 Manual Espresso Maker (the one with the black color) which I always use it everyday to have a good cup of espresso based drink. It’s a great tool, definitely worth it, Geranium use it and u know what it means. 👍
That's a sign of quality!
i have recently been on 2 michelin kitchen Ikoyi in london and they use shit oven UNOX and etc... it didnt stop them from making amazing things. so i would say u can achieve amazing results with so so equipment! :) but it is very nice to have this idea in mind that u have the best equipment - then u can clearly see that if you made bad drink thats your fault not machines :))
Hi Anders and Kaitlin - with Noma on a break, Geranium is likely to take the top spot - I'll be back in CPH again this winter and hope I'll get to enjoy this restaurant too!
Noma is not on a break, they just can't win again since they are now in the "Best of the Best" hall of fame. Geranium DID win on Monday. :)
That looked amazing! They certainly deserve the top spot. Kaitlin, I loved your suit!
Thank you so much!!
I can only imagine all the flavors that come with that meal 😋
So many1
really high quality video
Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Amazing video!
I was missing you!
Will u try Koks in Greenland?
Cheers
They have already I think so
We've done Koks on the Faroe Islands, but won't got to Greenland during the pop-up, sadly.
Amazing! Thanks for video!
Thanks for watching!
Mindblowing
Yeah!
Who’s here after they just got #1 in the World’s 50 best today?

Welcome! Hope you like our videos. :)
@@andersandkaitlin Thank you! I have actually been a fan for quite a while and love your videos! I am actually going to be going to Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, and Bergenhus later this summer, so I have been re-visiting some videos for restaurant recommendations. Most of them are already fully reserved, unfortunately, but should still be able to get great food!
@@choekinghazard2328 have you also checked our blog? Way more recommendations there. Full maps/guides of Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, and Bergen. andershusa.com
First time ever going to Scandinavia. Should still be able to get Gasoline Grill, Restaurant St. Lars, Rosio Sanchez's tacos, and smorrebrod at Aamann's. I'm from NYC (with great food, love the diversity), but I've never really had proper Scandinavian food. It looks so good based off your videos!
Love it!!!! Although i wish there was a bit more (shell) fish on the menu hahhaha
Actually agree!
I can imagine the interviewer saying "to start with, introduce yourself by stating your name" and he just couldnt help but quote eminem
Haha, that's EXACTLY how it happened. :D
I dont even know how most of these ingredients taste. This is way too advanced taste making. He's not making stuff like beef wellingtons. He's on a whole other level.
This chef certainly has a huge sense of estetics
Most def!
great video
Thanks!
I miss you guys and your amazing delicious 😋 vlogs 💕
Thank you. More to come!
Maybe I'm just spoilt, but I've been to ALOT of Michelin star places plus worked in a fair few and after a while they lose their appeal. Don't get me wrong, these chefs are geniuses in their own right, but to quote Marco White '' I don't want to go to a canapé party, i want to get stuck in ''. These days i'd much rather go to a great restaurant without all the theatre. Id much rather go to an amazing Texan BBQ places like snows bbq, or an amazing pizzeria like lucalis, or incredible street food in Mumbai. These are the places that get me excited and want to travel for, not these 'clever for the sake of it' overpriced restaurants chasing the Michelin guides approval.
I'm glad you had a great time though, because that's what matters in the end.
I agree they lose their luster if you do too many back to back, and there’s times i’d rather a humble diner or a texas bbq, but I do think its worth going every once in a while to get flavors, flavor combinations and cooking tecniques you’ll never get anywhere else.
Of course, if you worked at these places you could probably just make this stuff yourself, in which case its not worth. The restaurants always going to have better sourced ingredients but i’d consider sourcing to be low on the list of what makes fine dining restaurants good - the caviar, black truffle, and foie gras courses are always the most boring ones anyway
@@lipat97 Yeah absolutely. Its nice to try unique things every once in a while, but paying hundreds to eat a course that includes tree moss ( i seem to remember Noma had something like this ) or Rene Redzeppis signature dish 'cook your own egg in hay oil on a bed of hay' its just kinda silly. I guess as i get older im just not following the beat of michelins drum anymore and prefer the humble over the scientific and aethetically pleasing art on a plate.
Same here. It’s all very gorgeous looking, but what does it say about us that we arrange food on a plate with tweezers. Ludicrous, when you think about it.
Luckily, you can enjoy both! Or at least we do. And yes, there are good and bad fine dining restaurants, just like there are good and bad BBQ. Geranium is definitely on the good side of the spectrum.
Completely agree, but is it perhaps because the chefs themselves loose interest after doing it the 'easy' way for years...which is usually just as good -if not better in ultimate taste- but just doesn't look as nice. Or is it because of the whole 'theatre' and 'Michelin stars' surrounding it?
I know my parents went to the Librije in the Netherlands a few years back (3 stars), and didn't enjoy it as much as expected. It's in some ways a bit like Blumenthal in respect of how much you can still recognize the food
As long as noma is open in its current format it’s will always be the best “ restaurant “ in the world . I know there’s more delicious food in other restaurants but no one tops noma for excitement , originality , atmosphere or tension and it is always delicious . I say tension because of the sheer expectation that noma as restaurant brings , that sheer energy is felt everywhere , I’ve eaten more wholesome delicious food but the experience across the board is unparalleled . That’s just my opinion but we are talking restaurants and not just the food
A lot of mixed opinions about Noma, of course, but we love it. Keep going back every season. Hard to compare to Geranium. Such different concepts.
@@andersandkaitlin Can you explain the difference? As I'd rather be in a restaurant that's about friendly service, nothing too stuffy (e.g. sitting 4 meters from the next table) and just feeling like you're at a restaurant, not a wedding. This is probably not the real difference between these two, but what is?
@@Jorg05111980 The difference between Noma and Geranium?
@@andersandkaitlin just here eating my own words 😂💩
@@dinger658 haha, hope they taste good!
I hope I can bring my family to visit this restaurant one day.
You should!
chef Rasmus I never see him live, but I have his friest Cooking book, Most respectable chef on the planet
hope fully i will see him middle of next year
I hope you get to meet him!
What an amazing establishment
It truly is!
my name is , my name is... LMAO epic
Never have been into fine dining and I haven't even eaten anything to that caliber but this is definitely wanting to be on my bucket list. Full meat less course that all looked really good and that non alcoholic tasting with the juices would be the cherry on it!
You should give it a go!
This amazing place is like eating all the great art created by Picasso,Monet,Renoir.
Indeed!
holy fuck this food looks amazing. the presentation and the colors alone is so cute and whimsical in a way that isn't ostentatious. and the ingredient use looks exquisite.
Just the world's best! :D
Love ur head band 😅
Thanks! 💛
Have you tried the April Coffee Store over at Ryesgade? They make some of the best coffee in the world 😁
Yes, we love April! Bumped into the founder again today, by chance, and had a chat. andershusa.com/guide-the-best-coffee-shops-in-copenhagen-denmark-top-independent-cafes/
This was a absolutely breathtaking video, I didn’t want you to eat some of them because they looked like masterpieces. Most importantly they’re vegetarian which is mind blowing! How much is their tasting menu?
Glad you enjoyed it! The price is in the description. :)
Not strictly vegetarian, as there is fish. Pescatarian would be more accurate.
@@yrureadingthisname that's correct, although, they can easily make it vegetarian upon request.
And yes they are the number one of 2022
Yup!
I cannot truly believe he opened the interview with an Eminem verse.
Haha, he's the best!
I NEED A RECIPE/ GUIDE BOOK from him !!!! He is sooooo inspiring ! ❤️ 💕❤️💕❤️💕 this is coming from an omnivore, who's naturally feeling the need for less and less meat.
They have a recipe book from his vegan restaurant Angelika!
@@andersandkaitlin Thank you 👍🙏👍🙏
You really have to eat at Le Suquet, Michel Bras’s restaurant … it’s the best of natural and 100% gardened provided restaurant an amazing experience !!

Y el restaurant y el menú era la sal más la chica fue la pimienta. Excelente canal.
Haha, cheers! :D
my favorite part was only 1:06-1:10 not other parts of this video compare
Haha
For me, it makes sense to get meat out of the menu...going to a restaurant like this would feel like going to an Art exhibition. I think "meat", no matter how well is cooked, how perfect the taste, beautiful presented on the plate...has a history of violence. it's in our human nature, true...but the word for THIS is "pure". This is food for the soul, and if you close your eyes and try to identify all those flavours...for the mind also. Matisse comes to my mind. Never have I ever felt so philistine watching this video with a bag of chips near me...
i dont get it not that part
17k view and not even 500 likes? Come on people!
Sounds about right, statistically. ;D
Hope you may visit The Table in Hamburg one day.
Would be nice!
Nice
Very nice
i love your videos. however i think the level of your sound is lower than many of the other youtube videos i watch. i always have to increase the level of the sound a notch of two when i watch your videos and then have to lower it back when i watch all other youtube videos. i hope you will consider my feedback. please continue with your great videos.
Thanks for your feedback! We've lowered the volume because of the opposite feedback, but will try to find the perfect mid-level.
Didn't really notice it, but have good headphones...I think you're talking about the ambient sound right? Could be just a tad higher
@@Jorg05111980 There is no ambient sound in most of this video, just music and sound from interviews/intros.
Personally, if I had the option I'd go for Disfrutar in Barcelona
Why not both? :D
@@andersandkaitlin That would be ideal, but if faced with the decision? Disfrutar for me- if just for that corn and foie gras dish, it looks absolutely divine
They decorate the food for a long time, does it affect the cooling of the food?
No, it's all prepared mise en place.
I doubt most of the highly decorated foods are supposed to be served warm anyhow
@@chromberries7329 Plenty of food is served warm.
Den mad smager godt
Jupp!
Recommend getting the new Dji mic set. Better sound quality and mobility
Thanks for the tip!
@@andersandkaitlin keep up the great review. Waiting for more video projects from you guys since I enjoy the color grading and aesthetic of your videos
@@tonyk7ng1803 cheers! 🙏🏻
U guys ever visit Gordon Ramsay restaurant on Royal Hospital Road in London? It's really really good!
Have not. Thanks for the tip!
Im proud one of the most accomplished chef and restaurant are located in Denmark, but i will also admit, seeing the food here, im not tempted in the slightest to go xD
Sad to hear that. It's amazing! :)

Everything except for the "hand-pressed espresso" looked amazing, haha.
Why didn't that look good of all things?
Great job chef!! USA
Great vidéo as usual. With the exclusivity of having the chef participating ; very enjoyable. This said, i d like to have your opinion on something. For me, The 50s bests is a scam guide based on random picked restaurants (mainly by "who is making noise these days"), instead of using a fair and objective evaluation. Ranks move from top to bottom in a year because, there is not even enough place within the 50s to reflect the huge offer worldwide.
Therefore my question is the following one :
Do you think this list has a value and what is, in your opinion, the best notation system curently referencing restaurants and their level of cooking?
Another lover of high gastronomie
Trying to rank all the restaurants in the world is an impossible task, and for us, it's not really about the exact order and more about shining a light on some of the most exciting restaurants out there. Why would they pick restaurants at random? And what would the scam be? You can agree or disagree, but it's just the opinion of 1000 voters.
@@andersandkaitlin Thank you for your answer. I said random, because none of the 1000 voters has tried all the restaurants. Thus, with no true comparison in mind, how do they even decide who's the best? I think, as you mentionned, that this guide is indeed a projector, but its lightning is a bit abitrary.
Also, I was truely interested knowing more about your selection process ; what are your favorite guides, sites, etc... you're using to pick restaurants.
If i sounded irritating in the previous comment, I apologies for it. You're doing a fantastic job on this channel, in both short and long videos ;)
@@ZeeheCorporationNo problem, I was just trying to understand your input. I still disagree that it’s random. While few of the voters have tried all the restaurants on the list, it’s still their collective vote. It’s not like all Michelin inspector have tried all Michelin restaurants either, so it’s kinda the same for all these guides. If you want recommendations that are guaranteed to have been tried and approved by the same people, then our blog is a good place to start. The con, of course, is that we haven’t managed to eat absolutely everwhere yet, seeing as we’re just two people. 😊 We decide where to go using a mix of guides and recommendations: Michelin, World’s 50 Best, local foodies/bloggers, but most importantly these days, we trust recommendations from members of our own food community, The Hungries.
@@andersandkaitlin I will check you Patreon then. I don't work for the Michelin guide, but I like their more general idea of proposing places to go, who (most of the time) reach a certain strandard of quality. In the end, yes, it remains the choice of few inspectors!
Living in France, I hope to visit someday some of the wonderfull danish restaurants you'de come to present, during a trip.
Best wishes to both of you.
@@ZeeheCorporation Hope to see you in Copenhagen! Maybe at one of our events. :)
Which wine menu did you choose?
We had a mix of the wine and juice pairing!
The Danes are so honest and straightforward, there food is magnificent, not sure i would spend a lot on a meal, for me I know I would leave hungry , living art which you eat, not for me
Why do you assume that you would leave hungry? Because the dishes look small? They serve you more than 20 of them and the menu is perfectly designed to make you feel full/satisfied afterward. If anything, you get too full, actually.
Do you guys pay for the meal or just list the price?
We pay for our meals.
Of course the worlds best restaurant would have a Greg simkins painting.
8:05
He reminds me of the actor for lucifer from supernatural hahah
It's so pretentiously pretty. Bet the taste also pretty
Pretty tasty!
I got a little hot and steamy watching that absolutely gorgeous cuisine 🥵
Oh my!

Yessss
thoughts on frantzen ranked so low?
Very surprised. Expected them to be top 5: andershusa.com/predictions-worlds-50-best-restaurants-2022/
Would love to see the bill at the end of this meal
We always write the price in the caption. For this meal, it was 3200 DKK ($430) for the food per person.
Straight to Burgerking afterwards
Nope. If anything, we get late night food at Isted Grill in Copenhagen. But not after a big meal like this. 20 courses means each serving has to be small.
