Michelin is pleased to announce that the 2025 and 2026 restaurant selections of The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Countries will be presented in Denmark.

Made possible thanks to a partnership with Food Organisation of Denmark, Visit Odsherred and Wonderful Copenhagen, Denmark will host The MICHELIN Guide Ceremony Nordic Countries for the next two years.

The 2025 Ceremony will take place in Anneberg Kulturpark, Odsherred, while the 2026 edition will be hosted in the heart of Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens.

This two-year partnership will celebrate and promote Denmark’s impressive culinary trajectory in and around The MICHELIN Guide Ceremonies.

Boasting no less than 31 Starred restaurants and a total of 101 recommended establishments in the 2024 selection of The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Countries, what was once a small nation on the fringes of the global culinary map has evolved into a place where food enthusiasts from across the globe come to explore, taste, and indulge in extraordinary dining experiences. From Odsherred to Copenhagen, this journey will both reflect the evolving philosophy of Danish chefs, who are as much explorers of nature as they are innovative culinary artists, and highlight the harmonious relationship between the land and the sea, the countryside and the city, raw ingredients and creative culinary offerings.

All chefs running a MICHELIN-Starred restaurant, as well as journalists, influencers, partners, and industry leaders will be invited to the Ceremonies, during which the new MICHELIN Stars, Green Stars and Special Awards will be unveiled.

Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of The MICHELIN Guides, comments: “We are absolutely thrilled to announce that The MICHELIN Guide Ceremony for the Nordic Countries will be presented from Denmark for the next two years. A country that has paved the way for a brand-new approach to gastronomy – sustainable, innovative, highly distinctive – Denmark and its talented chefs have become culinary touchpoints who inspire the world. Designed to be a celebration of the whole Nordic gastronomic scene, our 2025 and 2026 globally followed Ceremonies will therefore be the perfect occasion to promote the values and uniqueness of the recent Danish gastronomic trajectory.”

Morten Bødskov, Minister for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs (Denmark) states: “Denmark is a gastronomic epicenter. It comes from proud traditions, and Danish restaurants and chefs’ abilities to think outside of the box and innovate in the kitchens. I am very happy and proud that Denmark will host The MICHELIN Guide Ceremony Nordic Countries in 2025 and 2026, where the world will see the new, Nordic Stars on the gastronomic scene. We are looking forward to welcome food-enthusiasts from around the world to an event which will be a fantastic showcase for Denmark and our thriving food scene.”

Jacob Jensen, Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries (Denmark) said: “Being the host of The MICHELIN Guide Ceremony Nordic Countries in both 2025 and 2026 is a great honor for Denmark. It highlights that we have made our mark on the international culinary scene, and I expect that Denmark will once again cement its position on the global gastronomic map. This is thanks to our chefs, who, in close collaboration with Danish food producers, manage to create gastronomic masterpieces based on ingredients of exceptional quality. It’s the entire food chain – from soil to table – that makes Denmark a culinary powerhouse, and I am incredibly proud of the innovation, creativity, and care that permeates both our kitchens and our raw ingredients.”
