Kadeau

Visited in Nov 2025 Kadeau had been on my list of restaurants to visit for a long time, and I got lucky with a lunch reservation during my recent trip to CPH. In this trip, which included visits to Noma, Koan, and Kadeau, I must say that Kadeau was the best dining experience of the three. For entering the restaurant, you’ll have to ring the bell at the side of the black entrance door. Before being taken to my seat I was given a short tour of the kitchen and the restaurant which I thought to be a nice gesture. The tasting menu comprises 17-18 courses (including the amuse bouche courses). The entire menu is so well thought out in terms of ingredients, variation of flavour profiles and the progression of the dishes from start to finish. Among the starter courses, my favourite was the prawns with figs. Among the mains, my favourite courses were the salmon and the langoustine. For drinks, I went with the non-alcoholic pairing. There were 7 beverages in total through the duration of the meal, which in my view was the perfect number of drinks. All the beverages were quite decent and I think I made a good choice to go with the non-alcoholic pairing. Service was fantastic. The staff constantly attend to you throughout the meal with any requests you may have. The folks were so kind, polite and jovial. The restaurant also catered to a particular allergy I had (which I had informed them about while making the reservation). Overall, this is a brilliant fine-dining establishment and my experience here was equivalent to any three star place in the world. So I hope they get their 3rd star soon.

Kadeau is rated as #41 on the highly respected "50 Best Restaurants in the World" list for 2026. It does not disappoint. It is small - only 9 tables. Advance reservations are required. Quiet, comfortable, and well managed. The numerous courses are memorable. My favorite was the langostino tail, served with the claws and the head.

From beginning to end, this was a 10/10 experience. We went for our friend’s 40th birthday, and Chef Kyumin and his team made the evening truly special. Each dish was meticulously delicious and inventive, and the champagne and wine pairings were perfect with each dish! It was my first time in Copenhagen, and the menu felt like a beautiful reflection of local ingredients, and a wonderful introduction / history lesson to the city/country. I also love that they collaborate with local artists for the curated art and sculptures in the space! The service was also exceptional - friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and always 1 step ahead of us! We’re excited to go back to try their Spring menu!

Excellent food, atmosphere, and service. The whole evening was a sensory experience on a whole other level. Great stories around the ingredients, well presented, amazing flavours. For two people I recommend doing both wine pairings to get an even more diverse pallet of flavours.
