This might be Denmarks most underrated Michelin starred restaurant ⭐️🇩🇰

Welcome back to Chasing Stars, the series where I visit the world’s best restaurant 🌎

Today, we’re just north of Copenhagen at @rest_thesamuel .

You won’t find it by accident. You won’t hear much noise about it either. But if you know, you know.

Welcome back to Chasing Stars, the series where I visit the world’s best restaurant 🌎

Today, we’re just north of Copenhagen at @rest_thesamuel .

You won’t find it by accident. You won’t hear much noise about it either. But if you know, you know.

After a cocktail, we’re led past the largest Dom Pérignon collection north of Paris and into a wine cellar that feels more like a holy site for collectors. Bottles you’ve only read about? They’re here. And they’re not just for show. As they told me, wine isn’t an investment. It’s meant to be drunk as Maitre d’hotel, @rasmusknude_thesamuel says.

Chef @jkb_the_samuel doesn’t follow trends. He follows flavor. The wine leads, the dish follows. He cooks with restraint but with conviction. And what hits the table isn’t just food, it’s proof of a philosophy.
No gimmicks. No ego. Just star-level cooking that doesn’t scream for attention.

The Samuel is one of those rare places that doesn’t need the spotlight to shine. But once you’ve been, you won’t stop talking about it.

I finally made it to @restaurant_the_samuel for my last stop on the Copenhagen leg of the tour after having had to cancel at least twice over the last couple of years due to pandemic travel madness (cancelled with plenty of notice). Also this was a well needed moment of solitude in the middle of wrangling as many as 14 people at times on a 90+ restaurant tour over two months covering several countries. Don’t... More

I finally made it to @restaurant_the_samuel for my last stop on the Copenhagen leg of the tour after having had to cancel at least twice over the last couple of years due to pandemic travel madness (cancelled with plenty of notice). Also this was a well needed moment of solitude in the middle of wrangling as many as 14 people at times on a 90+ restaurant tour over two months covering several countries. Don’t get me wrong, I loved eating with friends and making new ones in the process, but it can get a little stressful at times when trying to herd these particular cats.
This was another recommendation from Kristian Brask Thomsen, and it didn’t disappoint. Fabulous wines and delicious food rounded off by one of the best cheese servings that I’ve ever had. A very much needed few hours holiday away from my holiday 😬
