Restaurants Newly Awarded a Bib Gourmand for 2026
Botschaft, Copenhagen, Denmark
After working up an appetite with a walk around the nearby Søerne Lakes, head for this elegant restaurant with a small wooden terrace, a mosaic-tiled floor and a striking green moulded ceiling. Start with a drink in the intimate hidden cocktail bar, then settle in to enjoy authentic German and Austrian dishes crafted from a mix of classic and family recipes. You might find maultaschen (pork dumplings), gebackener kalbskopf (fried calf's head) or hirschgulasch (venison stew), followed up with kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancake) for dessert. Wines from the two countries provide the perfect accompaniment.
Graziano, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Graziano in question is the chef’s grandfather, and it’s his traditional Tuscan recipes that form the menu at this cosy Italian. The family feel doesn’t stop there either: this is the type of place where you dine shoulder-to-shoulder in a buzzing atmosphere, and the warmth of the service and the endearing décor makes it feel like you’re dining with old friends. Wine racks and boxes abound – all Italian of course – the perfect accompaniment to a rustic ‘spaghetti al pomodoro di Graziano’, a ‘bistecca alla fiorentina’ T-bone steak to share or the ‘Mi Fido’ (‘I Trust’) tasting menu for the table.
Levi, Copenhagen, Denmark
Start in the bar of this unique restaurant, which offers an extensive cocktail selection and an impressive wine list. Next it’s on to the spacious dining room, which has something of a 1960s Riviera feel thanks to its terrazzo floor, polished larch panels and green banquettes. The menu is an intriguing mix of Japanese and Italian dishes; some ‘pure’ in their origins – such as sashimi or linguine with Norwegian lobster and saffron – and others a fusion of the two cultures, like Wagyu striploin with Italian greens and wasabi. For dessert, don't miss the pistachio gelato with Tuscan olive oil and sea salt.
Petra Bar & Restaurant, Copenhagen, Denmark
A short stroll from the Rosenborg Castle Gardens sits this 1940s building by renowned Danish architect Kay Fisker, who liked to marry modernism with traditional Danish craft. Maintaining some original architectural features and a mid-century feel, it now operates as a hotel and restaurant – and simultaneously, a showcase for the owners' designer furniture business. There’s a lounge space opposite the kitchen, as well as an intimate dining room. Here, appealing brunch plates give way to modern international dishes such as haddock & fennel soubise with monk's beard, bouillabaisse sauce and black garlic.
Restaurant Frank, Copenhagen, Denmark
After eight joyful years spent at its former premises, Frank moved just a hop, skip and a jump away to this spacious spot inside a beautiful historic building. Sporting a minimalist style, the room keeps its focus on the open kitchen, where Chef Ander Strier cooks up well-balanced modern dishes with a subtly creative edge. The attractively presented, good value plates could include octopus with grilled pineapple, sobrassada, potato and aioli or cannelloni stuffed with confit rabbit, pine nuts and ceps. To accompany, choose something from the particularly extensive wine list.
Sanchez, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Sanchez in question is Rosio – who’s worked in some top-level restaurants – and she certainly knows how to put the fun in dining out with this lively neighbourhood spot. Bringing the bold, powerful flavours of her Mexican heritage and presenting them in a small plates concept – accompanied by an authentic choice of a margarita, mezcal, tequila, sotol, raicilla or bancora – has proved the perfect recipe for success. The ‘Sanchez Menu’, made up of five dishes selected by the kitchen team, is a hit – and on weekdays there’s the option to pop in on your way past just for tacos and snacks.
Uformel, Copenhagen, Denmark
The more casual sister to flagship formel B sits just a few steps away from City Hall, its central location making it a popular spot at any time of day. Black tables and a dark parquet floor give it something of a moody feel, while a large illuminated wine cellar and a smart open kitchen draw the eye. Dishes are presented either as a five-course menu or as uniformly priced tasting plates, with three to four per person about right. Traditional Danish flavours are joined by Asian notes in the likes of hiramasa with pickled ginger, white pomelo and sour cream or roast pork with beetroot, umeboshi and morels.
Rolfs Kök, Stockholm, Sweden
Overseen by passionate chef-owner Johan Jureskog, this buzzy neighbourhood spot has been a staple of the Stockholm dining scene for nearly 40 years. The industrial-style décor comes courtesy of architect Thomas Sandell and designer Jonas Bohlin, and isn’t the only thing to take a bold approach; generously proportioned dishes have a classic heart and big flavours, and are a perfect match for their surroundings. Enjoy dishes like fish stew with shrimps, mussels, cream and aioli or red-wine braised ox cheek with truffle and potato purée – then walk it off with a stroll around Tegnérlunden Park.
Vyn Food & Wine Bar, Simrishamn, Sweden
For a gastronomic treat, book a night at the charmingly located, 15-room VYN Hotel and indulge in not just one but two dining experiences from Daniel Berlin. The more casual of the operations, the Food & Wine Bar, is a warm, intimate spot where the cooking is based on the same ingredients as bigger sister VYN, but presented in lighter ways. The modern à la carte offers 2-3 flavour-packed dishes per course – such as lamb terrine with pistachios and blueberries or seafood casserole with aioli – and is supplemented by a seasonal set menu, maybe ‘Asparagus’, ‘Apple’ or ‘Goose’, depending on the time of year.
