About Kokkeriet
Kokkeriet occupies a former butcher's shop in Nyboder, the district of 17th-century yellow sailors' houses, and has held one Michelin star for years — retained in the 2026 Guide. Head chef Morten Krogholm cooked at Noma, Søllerød Kro and Kong Hans Kælder before taking the kitchen here.
Krogholm builds on a classical French base and pushes it toward something he calls inherently Danish: layered sauces, a strong seafood focus and seasonal Danish produce. The team steers guests toward the tasting menus — DKK 1,150 for the smaller and DKK 1,450 for the larger — with a short à la carte alongside.
The room is small and personal: herringbone parquet, white tablecloths and candles, with a calmer, warmer feel than the city's larger gourmet rooms. That intimacy is the draw for a proposal or an anniversary, and vegetarians are looked after with advance notice.
The one star, the address at Kronprinsessegade 64 and Krogholm's pedigree make Kokkeriet a dependable special-occasion table — a working Michelin restaurant in a city where Noma has shifted to a lab-and-pop-up model and no longer serves a regular dinner.
Why It's Right for a <em>Proposal</em>
Candles, white linen and a roughly fifteen-table room make Kokkeriet one of Copenhagen's better proposal settings. Book the larger tasting menu, tell the team in advance, and the kitchen will pace a quiet, multi-course evening built around Danish seafood and Krogholm's classical sauces.
Who It's Not For
Kokkeriet is not for diners chasing the avant-garde, foraged style Copenhagen is famous for — this is a classically grounded, sauce-driven kitchen. It is also a poor fit for large, loud groups or anyone on a tight budget, given the tasting-menu format.
Frequently Asked
Who is the chef at Kokkeriet?
The head chef is Morten Krogholm, who worked at Noma, Søllerød Kro, Kong Hans Kælder and Herman at Nimb before leading Kokkeriet. His cooking is built on four ideas — nature, simplicity, taste and being inherently Danish — applied to a classical French base with a strong seafood focus.
How much is the tasting menu at Kokkeriet?
Kokkeriet offers two tasting menus: a smaller menu at DKK 1,150 and a larger menu at DKK 1,450 per person, with a short à la carte also available. The kitchen encourages the tasting format, and wine pairings or à la carte add to the total, so budget for a full evening.
Does Kokkeriet have a Michelin star?
Yes. Kokkeriet holds one Michelin star, retained in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. It is one of the more intimate starred restaurants in Copenhagen, set in a former butcher's shop in the Nyboder district, and is known for a classical, sauce-driven take on New Nordic cooking rather than the foraged avant-garde style.
Is Kokkeriet good for a romantic dinner or proposal?
Yes. With around fifteen tables, herringbone floors, white tablecloths and candlelight, Kokkeriet is calmer and more personal than the city's larger gourmet rooms, which makes it a strong choice for a proposal or anniversary. Tell the team in advance and they will pace the tasting menu for the occasion.
