10/10 From the moment you walk in and until you walk out, you can tell this is a special place and all of the staffs are VERY well trained. We went there for lunch and it took around 3 hours for this experience. Res deco is cozy with an open kitchen. The service, presentation, food and everything are excellent. (The service here is very on point in a comfortable way) Totally worth stars and must visit in copenhagen!! 👍🏼 plus top fav in europe !!
First time in Copenhagen and a friend suggested to have this as our last dinner in the city, no regrets. I think about every bite when we left. Appreciating the presentation, the combination of each flavor that melts into my mouth and giving me that jittery feeling when I could taste each ingredient. For all of the people working behind each dish, you’re amazing. All the effort put into each dish is just incredible. As someone who brew Kombucha, I really love the flavor in the lemon verbena and quince Kombucha. Price wise it’s really on a higher end but totally worth it! Service was also excellent and I actually love how slow they were because then you get to really appreciate each dish.
Amazing fine dining restaurant. The menu combines seafood, nuts and cheese in a unique way. Every detail is well planned. Tastes blend well, plates look lovely.
Kadeau is rated as #41 on the highly respected "50 Best Restaurants in the World" list for 2026. It does not disappoint. It is small - only 9 tables. Advance reservations are required. Quiet, comfortable, and well managed. The numerous courses are memorable. My favorite was the langostino tail, served with the claws and the head.
Visited in Nov 2025 Kadeau had been on my list of restaurants to visit for a long time, and I got lucky with a lunch reservation during my recent trip to CPH. In this trip, which included visits to Noma, Koan, and Kadeau, I must say that Kadeau was the best dining experience of the three. For entering the restaurant, you’ll have to ring the bell at the side of the black entrance door. Before being taken to my seat I was given a short tour of the kitchen and the restaurant which I thought to be a nice gesture. The tasting menu comprises 17-18 courses (including the amuse bouche courses). The entire menu is so well thought out in terms of ingredients, variation of flavour profiles and the progression of the dishes from start to finish. Among the starter courses, my favourite was the prawns with figs. Among the mains, my favourite courses were the salmon and the langoustine. For drinks, I went with the non-alcoholic pairing. There were 7 beverages in total through the duration of the meal, which in my view was the perfect number of drinks. All the beverages were quite decent and I think I made a good choice to go with the non-alcoholic pairing. Service was fantastic. The staff constantly attend to you throughout the meal with any requests you may have. The folks were so kind, polite and jovial. The restaurant also catered to a particular allergy I had (which I had informed them about while making the reservation). Overall, this is a brilliant fine-dining establishment and my experience here was equivalent to any three star place in the world. So I hope they get their 3rd star soon.
