Copenhagen's New Asian Wave enters the Michelin Guide Nordic Countries 2023

Copenhagen once again led the way at the 2023 Michelin Guide Nordic Countries revelation, which took place on June 12th in Turku, Finland. The Danish capital retains its 24 Michelin Stars spread over 14 restaurants, keeping its position as the leading Michelin city in the Nordics. Stockholm and Oslo share the second place with 13 stars each, as Helsinki takes third place with 6 stars and Reykjavík has been awarded with 2 stars.

Copenhagen’s New Asian Wave has also been acknowledged in this year’s Michelin Guide, with the newest entry on the list being the Korean-inspired restaurant Koan. The former noma chef and restaurant chef at 108 Kristian Bauman is the man behind it. Koan opened at the beginning of April this year and has, in just three months, cemented its gastronomic position in Copenhagen, earning two stars in the guide.

In addition to the well-known star awards, Copenhagen is awarded with 8 green stars in 2023, a new award for restaurants with a strong focus on sustainability, introduced by the Michelin Guide in 2020. New entries on this list count Kadeau and Bistro Lupa, which is a part of the Ark Collection.

Finally, a new bib-gourmand goes to the restaurant juju, another Korean-inspired restaurant opened by Kristian Bauman. The bib-gourmand rating is awarded to restaurants that serve good and well-cooked food at moderate prices.
