history

From spring 2007 to summer 2009 the restaurant was in Kongens Have . In 2008 it was awarded a Michelin star. In the following year it landed at number 77 on the list of the best restaurants in the world, which is determined by Restaurant Magazine . On June 30, 2009, the restaurant closed, the reason given was disagreement between the chefs Rasmus Kofoed and Søren Ledet, who together owned 49% of the geranium, and the new main owner. Three weeks earlier, Rudolf Lassen had replaced Rasmus Nøttrup as the main owner with 51%. Ledet explained that the conflict was that, unlike Nøttrup, Lassen was primarily focused on profit, while she and Nøttrup had been careful to run one of the best restaurants in the world. Kofoed described Lassen as a sleeping partner who suddenly manifested himself and was not interested in the restaurant business. Even though the closure was associated with high costs, both in social terms with regard to employees and in economic terms, Kofoed mentioned the cooperation with the suppliers and that both Ledet and he had lost DKK 400,000 each, he described them as an exemption at that time Time.

In 2010 the restaurant on the 8th floor of the parking lot was reopened. This time again with Nøttrup as a partner. Since then, Ledet has been the restaurant manager and no longer in the kitchen; instead, Jesper Kirketerp became the sous chef. In 2012 it received a Michelin star for the second time. That same year, the geranium was featured for the first time in The World's 50 Best Restaurants list, where it was ranked 49th. In the years that followed, it rose to 45th and 42nd place respectively. In 2013 the restaurant was awarded its second star.

menu

In 2010, three different menus were offered: a traditional, a vegetarian and an exclusive one. While the first two cost around 1000 DKK, the exclusive menu including the matching wines was between 2500 and 3000 DKK. The ingredients of the dishes are mainly from organic or biodynamic farming. According to Kofoed, the focus is not on Nordic products, but it depends on the seasons. However, the cheeses served are all Danish and organic. No caviar or foie gras is served. The motto of the restaurant Omtanke kan smages (German: caution can be tasted).
