Jordnær - Copenhagen's Newest Two Michelin-Starred Restaurant

Unlike the New Nordic restaurants in central Copenhagen who serve their tasting menus in very relaxed settings, Chef Eric Vildgaard‘s two Michelin-starred restaurant Jordnær is the picture of elegance. Located just 20 minutes outside of the city in the suburbs of Gentofte, Vildgaard has transformed the ground floor of an old inn from the 17th century into a modern setting for Nordic fine dining, complete white tablecloths and a classical wine list. The tasting menu changes seasonally, but you can expect to see a focus on Scandinavian seafood accompanied by creamy sauces, often topped with a healthy amount of luxury ingredients like caviar and truffles.

I think it's so crazy that a 2 star michelin restaurant is located 5 minutes by walk to my childhood home! Had the pleasure of eating there in 2018, shortly after they got their first michelin star. Will hopefully come back there in the future

[@andersandkaitlin]

It's great that the guide is finally going outside the major cities.

Great looking food. Almost all of it looked tepid at best, or cold..but cleanly presented.

[@andersandkaitlin]

Hey, most of the food was warm, actually.

[@abepafford1615]

I love all of your videos. That said, this is one of the only tasting menus where I feel like I might have been hungry at the end. It feels like it needed another protein course - maybe instead of the mushroom dish that preceded the beginning of dessert.

[@andersandkaitlin]

Can’t remember being hungry after this one, so they must have made it filling somehow. 😊

[@felipemorales4901]

the menu looks fantastic and the presentation too. And as a barista I love the V60 in the end, not many Michelin restaurants offer coffee service at the end. It did look somewhat over-extracted, though. But that's just my perfectionist OCD talking. I would love to know the ratios they are using for the coffee.

[@andersandkaitlin]

A lot of restaurants in the Nordics are doing tableside coffee brewing with V60 or Kalita or similar. Usually, it's with light-roasted beans, can't remember what they used here. Most restaurants have some way to go on the brewing technique, though. Coffee shops are far superior.

[@UlrichUlrich]

Like som many restaurants right now they are really struggling during the Corona crisis. Our government has ordered all restaurants closed. When did you guys shoot this? Hope they pull through - it would be such a shame if they were forced to close so soon after getting that second Michelin star.

[@andersandkaitlin]

UlrichUlrich yes, total lockdown in Copenhagen too. We are working every day to get people to order delivery from those who offer that. The city already saw its first bankruptcies because of this. The Jordnær meal was shot last summer.

[@UlrichUlrich]

I'm Danish - Gentofte native actually. I've never been to Jordnær, though I drive by it many times a week. We're all very proud of having a two time Michelin star restaurant in our midst. And I'm concerned for the two owners' situation in these times. Unlike the two Michelin restaurants Geranium and Alchemist, which are financed by Danish billionaire Lars Seier, who has very deep pockets, Jordnær is on shaky ground financially if the shut-down continues for months on end. And they've stated they can't do take-out delivery.@@andersandkaitlin

[@andersandkaitlin]

@@UlrichUlrich aha, got it. We live in Copenhagen too now, so then we are in the same boat, literally. ;) Yes, I share your worry. Just look at Kadeau that went bankrupt. :(

[@UlrichUlrich]

@@andersandkaitlin Oh, you live in Copenhagen? You guys are Norwegian and American, right? How did you end up living in Denmark? Yeah, extremely sad what happened with Kadeau. Thank you for the vid BTW, if I never get to eat at Jordnær at least I got a little glimpse inside. Hopefully Jordnær makes it, so I can visit it myself sometime - if it doesn't make it, your vid will serve as a testament.

[@peterclement3763]

You must be very hungry after this and drunk of all the wine. Me and my wife ate at Era Ora once. We were starving and very drunk afterwards. Nowadays all those Michelin restaurants have no more fantasy. All copying from eachother. Where is the honest and simple kitchen. I mean you also pay alot of money to eat in these places. Where is the fantasy and own identity? 2 Michelin stars??

[@andersandkaitlin]

@@peterclement3763 Dude, if you went to Copenhagen and chose Era Ora, that says it all. That restaurant has been down the drain for years, just lost its Michelin star and ended up closing. A friend of mine went there a week before they shut down and said it was absolute sh*t. So don't even start comparing that to Jordnær, which is a modern, high-level restaurant with top-level ingredients and refined flavors in every dish. The balance of food and alcohol is perfect. You leave satisfied, neither stuffed nor starving, and you're barely tipsy. Just floating on that pink cloud of happiness.

[@maniswolftoman]

The plating is so limited. That has to be a conscious choice. As a chef I couldn’t just plate everything in the center and pour sauce around in a circle. At that price point I think the customer deserves a little variety in the presentation of their dishes.

[@andersandkaitlin]

It's how they have chosen to do it. I kinda enjoyed the simplicity. Everyone does very fancy plating nowadays.

[@maniswolftoman]

Anders Husa & Kaitlin Orr Oh I agree on simplicity. But I would just think it would get rather tiresome on the eighth or ninth course... oh the chef’s coming out with a round plate and a bowl of sauce, wonder what he’s going to do with that. Even just something as simple as turning a sauce into a gelée or aspic and running it alongside the main on an oblong plate. Simple, but not the same. But the flavor is most important. Arguing about this is just nitpicking.

[@andersandkaitlin]

@@maniswolftoman definitely agree on the flavor part! And I don't disagree with your view on the plating here - it is not the most exciting - but again, it's the chef's choice and, at least, it's different from what a lot of places are doing now.

[@maniswolftoman]

Anders Husa & Kaitlin Orr The plates themselves are beautiful for sure. Do you have any plans on going to L’Arpege or Le Manor aux Quat’saisons? I would love to see a video of that.

[@andersandkaitlin]

@@maniswolftoman Kaitlin has been to L'Arpege, I have not. We were supposed to be in Paris now (but stuck in quarantine like the rest of the world instead), but it wasn't on our to-eat-list this time. But someday I'd love to experience it.

[@Acidburn191]

This is nice but I'd prefer a nice homey meal that i can enjoy even If I get messy. This is absurd. paying up the a$$ for some fine dining experience. Before anyone jumps the gun and defends something they don't even know, I am in the food industry. Trained in the culinary arts and the sciences of food. This is nothing but noise. If someone told you it was a michelin star restaurant before doing any research and took you there, it would 100% be placebo. Nothing out of the ordinary food.

[@andersandkaitlin]

Why would a nice homey meal have to replace a restaurant experience and vice versa? Do you not have the ability as a human being to enjoy both? As a trained chef, you should be able to spot the high level of cooking involved here. Any person with dining experience would. And surely, as a chef, you should not criticize the food at a restaurant that you have not tasted yourself, but merely watched in a video? You can say that you don't like the presentations, but that is as far as your sensory experience goes on KZbin. As for the price, this is absolutely in line with similar restaurants in the Nordics. It's always going to be more expensive for some people, depending on the standard of living in their country compared to Denmark, the strength of the currency, etc. Your comment is the only thing that is noise.
