Our story
I had been juror at he “World 50 Best restaurants in the world”since 2006 and votes every year and helped by my single vote Noma on their way from no 33 at the list to no 5 to 3 and finalized my career as juror giving my vote 2010 delivering NOMA as nr 1. Best in the World.
Furthermore we decided to award Restaurant of the Year Nordic countries.
In the pre-period we noticed that World 50 Best list developed over the globe to include new regions or countries which of course would give further challenges for nordic countries to be positioned on the list.
One day Rene Redzepi called me and he gave me the advice to give birth to a similar guide for the nordic countries. You can do it, he said, you have the knowledge for guide production from producing Den danske Spiseguide (The danish Restaurantguide) and your membership of the jurors behind World 50 Best guide.As said……… The Nordic Prize & 66 Best Restaurants Nordic was a reality. …...In fact it is 100 best restaurants we calculate every year.
A nordic formula for the ranking rules was found:
From established well recommended guides like Michelin, World 50 Best, White Guide Sweden, Dan danske Spiseguide , Vinforum plus internordic juries the list is finalized every year (June) covering.
Norway*Sweden*Finland Faroe Islands* Greenland*Svalbard* Denmark.
The restaurant universe in the Nordic countries is undergoing a very strong development - Feel free to follow our list recommendations.
The winner is a result of the following procedure.
66 Best Restaurants
in Nordic Countries.
There has been a rapid increase in interest in the Nordic cuisine in recent years. The Nordic area now boasts some of the best restaurants in the world, with Noma (in Copenhagen, Denmark) very much at the forefront of this gastronomical revolution. With an ever growing number of restaurants appearing in the Michelin Guide, Northern Europe’s fine dining is certainly booming. 66 Best Restaurants
Nordic Countries, is a definitive guide to the dining scene in the Nordic area, presented in a handy application which is available to download on the App Store. The app contains a detailed list of the 66 best restaurants in the north of Europe, and has been compiled by 30 independent experts, led by world renown food critic Bent Christensen. The guide covers many of Northern Europe’s largest cities, including Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm – but of course only the best restaurants from each are featured.
