Geist

This smartly casual restaurant is located on a strip of similarly swank eateries on the north side of Kongens Nytorv, through the rather formidable gates and at the end of an attractive courtyard. Unlike most other gourmet restaurants in Copenhagen, Geist has dropped the set menu in favor of an a la carte list of smallish dishes, from light starters and heavier savouries to a number of ingenious desserts, all from an innovative and contemporary Scandinavian kitchen. Owner Bo Geist previously won a Michelin star for his restaurant at Paustian. The decor is monochrome and modern, with a fashionable central open kitchen and even more fashionable Molteni stove taking the spotlight.
