“ Probably a meal on our personal top 3 ever in Copenhagen! The last time we had a meal with balanced, fantastic flavours, exciting new aromatic combinations and a wine pairing that blew us away was at Geranium. This restaurant outperforms many Michelin stars restaurants we have been to! ”
“ My wife and I have dined at numerous high-end Michelin-starred restaurants, but I can confidently say that this experience stands out as the best thus far. Chef Christian skillfully combines Korean and Danish cuisine, drawing from his extensive culinary journey. Each dish was prepared with the utmost care and presented at an exceptional level. The staff were all friendly and professional. (Please tell me if i should delete the menu photo if you want to keep it as a surprise for your guests) Thank you for the exquisite experience. If you find yourself in Copenhagen, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit; do not think twice. ”
“ Impeccable meal ! Really gorgeous & delicious dishes, amazing wine list, friendly staffs! Combining Korean and Danish cuisines Truly one of the best meals we had during our Europe trip. Must try in CPH! ”
“ We loved the food here (the dessert was a bit meh). Every dish was derved with a little story and the service was fast - very shortly after we were finished the plates got taken away. The wine was expensive (white from 150,- Per glass and red from 350,- Per glass). But overall we liked the food and How it was presents. ”
“ Interesting dinner! Best thing about the evening was the menu progression. It was planned in a genius way and it totally makes sense once you completed it. At the start, the snacks were good and fresh, but didn't have a wow factor. Then we received the oyster and it was quite nice, maybe a slightly wow factor. At this stage i was worries, is this place all bells and whistles and they forgot the flavours? I was wrong, because from there every dish just kept getting better. The caviar ball was possibly on the top 2 best things i've ever eaten, EVER. The bread was amazing, the main courses were to die for. I was a little hungry by the time the main course arrived. But then it was this very comforting big bowl of rice with all this delicious bits and pieces in it. It was trully fantastic. Desserts were 10/10, there is caviar in the dessert, matched with a beautiful Souffle! WHATS NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THAT! What a treat. I think about this meal everyday and can't wait to be back! ”
“ Chef Kristian Baumann and his team made us feel very special on the occasion of our wedding anniversary. Flawlessly-executed food that was unlike anything else we had previously experienced - an experience we'll never forget! ”
“ Dining at Koan was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We enjoyed the full tasting menu and savoured every bite. Each dish was beautifully crafted, balancing Korean roots with Nordic ingredients in a way that felt both deeply personal and incredibly refined. The sommelier’s wine recommendations perfectly complemented each course, and the evening service was flawless, attentive, warm, and thoughtful without ever feeling intrusive. The attention to detail extended far beyond the food: even the coffee, brewed with April beans and weighed with precision, reflected the team’s steadfast dedication to craft at every level. Koan is not just a meal but a carefully orchestrated journey that reflects Chef Kristian Baumann’s story and vision. It is an absolute must for anyone seeking one of Copenhagen’s finest and most memorable dining experiences. ”
