In Copenhagen it’s easy to forget it’s been 20-plus-years since the New Nordic took off. Everything still feels so fresh, so exciting, so young and in vogue. @restaurantkadeau is the perfect example. The restaurant, which will turn 20 next year, is definitely having a moment. Not only does it feel relevant (it just got its third star in June), it feels ahead of the curve and I hope it never succumbs to the 3-star curse of playing it safe and generic and stiff and polished and – kinda boring.

And it’s not that I don’t enjoy a cozy living room setting to start my amuse-bouches and a sexy foyer for my petit-fours, but kudos to Kadeau for doing it their own, stripped down-way, ditching the “You eat it in one bite” endless trail of snacks, ditching the convoluted storytelling, and opting for their lovely warm walnut tart instead of a praline trolley that makes your head spin with late-night decision making. Should I pick the liquorice filled macaroon or the pine-needle infused ganache?!

And the thing is, the Kadeau story you never get fed is actually beautiful. A chef born and raised on the picture-perfect Danish island of Bornholm—a place with its own mild climate where figs grow, a place that smells like wild berries and smoked mackerels. An island of white sand dunes and smoke houses – the stylized symbol of Kadeau. Nicolai’s delicate, beautiful dishes like the mackerel pie or bits of shellfish with pickled vegetables or the textural genious that is squid&potato are a nod to Bornholm, a nod to the bounties of the sea, a nod to the coastal vegetation and pine trees bent by the wind blowing in from the Baltics. 

It’s a deeply personal cuisine, organic and deceivingly effortless, and @nicolai_kadeau is not the loud, boastful type of chef who would ever assert himself as the new leader of New Nordic - Kadeau has always been sort of an underdog among the giants of Copenhagen. Patiently, unassumingly waiting its turn. And the time is now. 🇩🇰
