Kadeau, located in Copenhagen, is known for serving consistently delicious food. Despite the abundance of high-end restaurants in the Danish capital, Kadeau’s menu stands out with its sensational flavors across more than a dozen courses. The secret to their success lies in Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic Sea, where head chef and co-founder Nicolai Nørregaard’s first restaurant, Kadeau Bornholm, is based.
During the summer, Kadeau Bornholm is open and serves its Growing Season menu using fresh produce sourced from the island. In the autumn and spring, when the Bornholm location is closed, Kadeau Copenhagen offers its Preservation Season menu, which incorporates vegetables and fruit that have been preserved through canning, drying, and fermentation. This approach allows the use of ingredients even during the colder months.
Kadeau’s unique dishes highlight the exceptional flavors and ingredients. One of their signature dishes is salmon topped with onion pickles, dried lavender, and bronze fennel. It is accompanied by a sauce made of lavender butter, vinegar, and sardine garum, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. The menu showcases a range of culinary techniques and ingredients, including dried tomatoes stuffed with fried herbs and fermented tomato and blackcurrant.
The location provides a relaxed and warm atmosphere, with friendly waitstaff and mellow jazz music playing in the background. Each dish arrives in quick succession, impressing with its flavors and presentation. For dessert, Kadeau offers innovative options like ice cream served in a scallop shell and a saffron brioche-like cake dipped in a brown butter foam. The restaurant’s commitment to excellence is evident in every detail, making it a standout experience in the New Nordic culinary scene.
Kadeau’s dining experience is priced at DKr3,200 (approximately $470/£371) for food, with wine options at DKr2,000 or non-alcoholic drink pairings at DKr1,100. Kadeau holds two Michelin stars and is highly recommended for those seeking a taste of Nordic fine-dining influenced by the unique flavors of Bornholm.
Opening times are Tuesday-Friday from 6pm to midnight and Saturday from noon to 4pm and 6.30pm to midnight. The address is Wildersgade 10B, 1408 Copenhagen. For more information and directions, visit Kadeau’s website.
