Michelin-starred tasting menus featuring local, seasonal produce
"The second incarnation of Alouette sits within a listed building opposite the King’s Garden, and its luxurious brown and beige dining room has something of a 1970s vibe. Chef-Owner Nick Curtin offers a surprise menu built around top-quality ingredients that have been rigorously sourced from hand-picked producers – and each sublimely flavoured dish is delivered with the story of its well-balanced components and their origins. Smoking over fire plays a key role and artisan ceramics add to the visual appeal, with seafood dishes such as monkfish with miso, gooseberry and bee pollen a particular highlight." - Michelin Inspector
"Closing and reopening a successful restaurant is a gamble, but it paid off for Alouette. The new space on the edge of the King’s Garden is both bigger and better. It’s has always been centered around seafood, though the new seasonal menu has a heavy focus on vegetables and the farmers and producers who grew them. This is the kind of place where simple ingredients are the stars of the show: white asparagus is served with grilled peas and caviar, and Jerusalem artichokes alongside pork loin. The staff are casual and friendly despite the fancy vibe, and the chef will probably swing by for a chat or two over the course of the evening. The food is great, but the warm and inviting team is half the reason you’ll want to return." - mary holland

"Alouette is a hidden gem on the Danish dining scene — behind an unobtrusive garage door and past a graffiti-covered hallway lies a surprisingly bright Michelin-starred restaurant that serves a set five-course menu. The menu changes weekly with a focus on small producers and seasonal ingredients." - Maya Kachroo-Levine Maya Kachroo-Levine Maya Kachroo-Levine is the digital senior editor at Travel + Leisure.

"A Michelin-starred Copenhagen restaurant run by chef Nick Curtin that emphasizes a warm, home-like dining experience, seasonality and unpretentious yet playful cuisine. The kitchen favors humane labor practices—most notably a strict 37-hour work week—while offering refined tasting menus (a five-course option starting around $170 per person, excluding drinks). Dishes are thoughtfully composed and ingredient-forward, exemplified by a plate like Life of a Hegnsholt Chicken with savory egg custard, chicken skin, quinoa and ramson, roasted-chicken jus and a hay-aged cheese sauce." - Emily Nathan
