History

[edit]

Restaurant Geranium was opened in the spring of 2007 in Kongens Have in Copenhagen by Rasmus Kofoed and Søren Ledet. Although the restaurant received a Michelin star in 2008, it was forced to close in 2009. It reopened in Parken, Østerbro, in 2010.[1]

The Norwegian Michelin restaurant Maaemo also received three stars, which made these two restaurants the first Nordic restaurants to have three Michelin stars.[5][6] In 2022, Geranium was named the world's best restaurant by William Reed's The World’s 50 Best Restaurants.[7]
