Den Røde Cottage

This is a good place to eat and the quality is in general high. This place is also very expensive. You could eat at almost any of the Michelin restaurants in Denmark and pay the same. The restaurant was very empty when we were there. Only my wife, me and the staff. If money is not an issue,, don't hesitate to go and get a good experience.

Cozy restaurant with a nice garden dining area. We had the 5 course menu with juice pairing (they also have wine pairing), which was great! Very tasty! The staff was very friendly, helpful and polite.

We thoroughly enjoyed lunch in den Røde Cottage. Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, stylish interior design, very friendly and professional staff, great location - particularly nice in summer! Highly recommend it!

By far the best restaurant in the Copenhagen area, exceeding many other Michelin experiences I've had across the world and Copenhagen. This is by far my favorite experience ever. Cant stress how awesome service was, food was amazing to, great value for the money! Almost deserves 2 stars in my opinion.

So I have never written a review before on ANY restaurant, but I have to for the red Cottage. Great food experience with lovely taste combinations and a great host. We chose to have a 5 course menu without meat but with fish and the kitchen did an amazing job in letting us taste all different sorts of fish with excellent combinations. It felt like a complete experience with the snacks at the beginning, the wine, the cheese and the petit-fours at the end. I can only recommend to go here.

Perfect place to enjoy Danish high cuisine in a great country side surrounding. Although I wished they had mastered salt in their dishes better and the service to be less expeditious, we had a great culinary experience made of simple ingredients perfectly mixed to create the unique flavours you can find in Denmark.

A wonderful celebratory meal for my mother's birthday. Everything was simply perfect from start to finish. Delightful snacks to start and then a lovely light 5 courses of mainly fish, a beef main and then wonderful refreshing dessert and a sensational little ice cream as a petit fours. Staff were fabulous, knowledgeable and friendly. Such a lovely location. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning

The food tastes amazing and looks so beautiful! The staff is very attentive & kind and knows a lot about the dishes and wines. We ate here to celebrate our anniversary and we loved it! We will without a doubt come again!

My very last meal in Denmark. Such a great way to celebrate a great many meals in the area. Now stay with me here. One of the chef partners used to work for Jan Restorff, who knows everyone in fine dining around Copenhagen. Our server Johan grew up in the Faroe Islands like Jan Restorff did and got his job here because of Jan. One of the other chefs used to cook at Geranium and is the house mate of the head chef of Rasmus Koefoed who grew up in Orange County not far from where my father lives. We met Jan the day before and prior to that we met Patrick who used to work for jan at Formel B. Small world Copenhagen fine dining is eh? We were preceded by word from Christian from Den Gule Cottage, the other establishment down the road overlooking the beach. Because the path to this restaurant is literally through parts of the forest, one of the cooks from Den Gule walked us over. How much hospitality is that? When we arrived we were immediately greeted by Johan and secondly by Lars, the other partner. We sat outside, had some bubbly and a few small bites, enjoying the vast tip of the forest before heading inside for the main meal. This little red hut is from architecture of years past and the owners after looking for space in Copenhagen proper fell in love with the two buildings not too far from each other in Klampenborg. Altered to contain modern functional kitchens, they put a lot of heart into making high quality food in both establishments. As surprised as anyone they achieved a Michelin star here just the end of last year and the food shows. After looking at the menu we couldn't not get everything to make a full tasting menu. It was our last meal after all... Food: Salted mackerel, smoked cheese, cucumber and radish. Lobster, peas, mint and almonds. Danish summer tomatoes. Rabbit, fennel and green strawberries. Chicken, gooseberries, potatoes and beans. Cheese, jerusalem artichoke and horseradish Strawberries, verbena and buttermilk. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Wine: 2010 Tomàs Cusinè, Auzells, El Vilesell 2011 Frantz Saumon, Minéral, Husseau, Loire. 2009 Arnaud Ente, Burgundy aligote, Burgundy. 2009 Domaine Pallus, Pensées des Pallus, Chinon, Loire. 2011 Arianna Occhipinti, SP68, Vittoria, Sicily. 2009 Domaine Agapé, riesling, Riquewihr. Cascina Riveri, Birbet, Monteu, Roero. 2010 Rustenberg, Straw wine, coastal region. Phenomenal. Past histories at Geranium and Søllerød Kro cooking definitely shows. Not quite the ultra modern of the former or too French driven like the latter, but utterly delicious in their own style, just like the funky building. If you go here you should explore the space. Hit the upstairs restroom and see the cool slightly psychedelic paintings and obviously the views of nature all around. They have an interesting hallway that they built leading to a side building where the service station and kitchen reside. The service from Lars and Johan is extremely warm and comfortable, Throughout the night we chatted with them extensively about Danish cuisines new movement, what they love, the classics and things like why they love Danish lunch but not so much traditional dinner. We ended up there well past midnight even though we showed up at 7.30. We ran through the dark forest with cell phone light because we had to catch the last two trains at the station which never came (that's a whole other story). Even Johan got caught in that scenario. A must try if you are in Copenhagen and have time to wander a bit farther north to see and eat. It truly is a fantastic place.

This was honestly one of the best meals I have ever had. DRC is a small restaurant outside of Copenhagen. We took the train and then had to walk about 15 minutes. The walk is safe, but because it was so dark it felt a little murdery. We were immediately greeted by our waiter and he took our coats once we reached the restaurant. The dining room is tiny and only has 5 tables. The night we were there only one other table came. It was very intimate. The ambiance is beautiful and the service was superb. We opted for the 7 course tasting menu. I can't remember every dish, but everything was so well balanced and incredibly delicious. The waiter always made sure to explain all of the ingredients to us and the process of each dish. The standouts for us were the tartar of ribeye and summer strawberry dessert. After having a bad experience with tartar a few days earlier we were a little wary, but it was amazing! Definitely one of, if not the best thing we ate during our trip. Overall, this is an amazing restaurant and it is clear why it has a Michelin star. I have been to a few one star restaurants, and DRC beats them all. Definitely come here if you have the chance!

I knew I had to try out one of the Michelin starred restaurants in Copenhagen and seeing as to how I could not get a reservation to Noma, nor could I justify spending that much on myself for a meal, I opted for a much more reasonable option here at Den Røde Cottage. The restaurant is located about 10 minutes north of Denmark in a town called Klampenborg. From the train station, I walked for about 15 minutes on country-ish roads (well, there were no sidewalks, at least). The place itself is beautiful: very simplistic and chic at the same time. The restaurant fully embraces their cottage in a forest theme, from there mushroom-like light fixtures, their wooden plank dishes, down to the service staff's uniforms (pictured in some of the other reviewers' photos). I opted for their 3-course menu, which also came with three amuse bouches. Of the three, I liked their second amuse bouche the most, which featured mushrooms and a cream sauce, topped with some greens. They offered two kinds of bread rolls: white rolls and spelt rolls. The rolls came with two types of butters as well: salted and pumpkin seed encrusted. Since I am a vegetarian, I opted for their non-meaty offerings, of course. However, I didn't think of contacting the restaurant beforehand to tell them of my dietary restriction because apparently, the staff would have made something else for me in that case. Just a heads up for you vegetarians who are wondering if they'd be able to find something here: yes, you can! My dinner consisted of a salad, a light cheese and chips course (if you will call it that), and a dessert. I loved all three of these dishes, though I was very fond of the jerusalem artichoke chips that were in my second course. Service was, of course, impeccable. They have a nice little wine list and some specialty cocktails. If you find yourself staying in Copenhagen for a few days, consider making the trip up to Klampenborg to this lovely little restaurant. You'll be treated like royalty and you'll have a lovely dining experience here!

This was our first Michelin star restaurant experience and it was a success! From the moment you arrive and champagne is poured, you are treated like royalty. The service is unlike anything I've ever experienced. They only have 3-5 tables it looks like for the entire night because the meal takes about 3 hours to complete with all the various courses and wine pairing. If you are looking to get your feet wet in the Michelin Star restaurant world, this is the place for you.

Are you looking for a tasty and sophisticated dinner located somewhere in a very wealthy Danish suburb of Copenhagen with the feeling that you're eating in a wealthy, modern, and sophisticated Dane's house and not in a restaurant? Well, this place may have your answer. This place is a red house with a large backyard that serves as a nice restaurant. Oh, and it's rated by the Michelin (a tyre company) Guides. They gave this place 1 star out of 3, which is supposed to be pretty good. I went with a group of 10 people, had a reservation at least a couple weeks in advance, and we had the outdoor patio facing the backyard all to ourselves. The setting was nice, I could see a little bit of the Danish coast. When we arrived, I felt like an honoured guest for a very wealthy Dane. I had the 3 course dinner, and I remember having some nicely thinly sliced ham that was "on the house", oysters (1st), fried cod doused in a broth with tomatoes (2nd), a small chicken with carrots, tarragon and brown butter (3rd), a creamy dessert mixed with fresh raspberries, and plenty of little pieces of bread with a delicious spread. The oysters were small, but had a nice flavour from the juice inside. The fried cod and the broth was delicious, had a great savoury flavour from the richness of the broth. The chicken had an excellent tenderness and also had a nice flavour. Everything else were delicious complements to the food, and I had a pretty full stomach after eating some extra pieces of bread. Presentation was very impressive. The service is excellent. The servers were attentive, friendly, and very willing to explain the dishes that were presented to you. The washrooms were very clean. As for the price, you should be prepared to spend more than 525 DKK for this meal. This place is a little difficult to reach. If you're leaving from København H (central station), you may have to take the C service to Klampenborg station, which took us about 20 minutes. We would have to walk for about 10 minutes, a little less than a kilometre from the station to even get to the driveway of this place. Since we stayed very late, we would have to take a taxi back to the centre of Copenhagen. Overall, if you are looking for a sophisticated, nice and quiet dinner while enjoying the scenery of the Danish countryside outside of Copenhagen, this place is a great choice. I had a pretty good and tasty dinner at this place and enjoyed the company of a group of people that I was starting to get to know better as I commenced my journey into Denmark and beyond.

Honestly it was my favorite Michelin star among the 7 that I tried in Copenhagen. The Red Cottage was not originally on my list of restaurants to try as it was outside Copenhagen. But when I was wandering on the Bellevue beach I realized the red cottage was only a short walk away. It was truly a gem hidden in the woods. The brilliant orange-red color popped up when I climbed the hills from the beach side. I first learned about the restaurant from Rick Stein's food documentary. At the time Anita owned the restaurant. By the time I visited in summer 2018, the restaurant had been sold to Simon. The food and service were superb. The house was a two-storied building with cute dining rooms and decorations. Simon was so nice and showed me the dining room upstairs before I decided to sit in the yard. They offered an up-to 7-course tasting menu where diners could choose any 3/5/7 courses on the menu. I loved everything! There were so many pieces of amuse bouches, and everything was so well-presented and delicious. My favorite would probably be the sweetbread and the cod / caviar / goat cheese ceviche. The servers were so helpful and sweet. I'd totally go back if I find myself in Copenhagen again.

What an amazing experience. We chose to take the train to the restaurant (a short 15 min ride out of downtown), and walk along the endearing little path through the woods along the rail tracks. You come upon the restaurant like a little fairy tale - appearing out of the woods with glittering candles in the windows and cheerful staff awaiting your arrival. Food was incredible. My husband did the wine pairings, and I did the juice pairings. Both were so well thought out. Highlights on the menu were the Danish chicken & foie gras, and the fried cod with pickled green tomato. We did the full 8 courses, but I would recommend doing 5. The portions are quite large and the bread is amazing!

Incredible summer meal outside. I'm from SF and it is equal to our best in food and service but with much more unique setting. Wine pairings particularly good.
