Geranium, Copenhagen, Denmark

Geranium ranked 19th on the 2017 list of 50 best restaurants in the world was excellent. My only criticism is that it was flawless (almost to a fault). Nevertheless worth every danish kroner.

My favorite dish was the dill stones w/ cucumber and pickle ice and horseradish sauce. The dish had everything. Not only flavor, but also textures and an array of temperatures. The biggest surprises was the mushroom caramel for dessert, yes mushroom! The blend was perfect!

Another highlight was the crispy fish scales added for texture. Geranium follows suit with current trends of an open kitchen and preparing the food in sight of the dinners. The tour of the wine cooler and kitchen was also special, along with opening a wine bottle "old school" style with heated tongs to crack off the neck of the bottle when the cork is old and dry to avoid cork from entering the wine.
