"Jordnær has been one of the hardest tables to score in the city after it earned its third Michelin star, an especially impressive feat considering a kitchen fire closed the place for months. Chef and owner Eric Kragh Vildgaard, who spent his teens in and out of juvenile detention before finding inspiration in the kitchen, operates the restaurant in Gentofte, a 20-minute drive from the town center. His wife, Tina Kragh, has won several service and sommelier awards of her own while overseeing the restaurant floor. The tasting menu, which hovers around 18 courses, threads together Nordic and Japanese flavors; options are heavy on seafood and skip meat entirely, so you might see something like gel made with langoustine heads, Cognac, and Tahitian vanilla." - Anna Norström
