This is what lunch at the number 1 restaurant in the world looks like

So last year when we came to Copenhagen we had booked lunch at what was then the number 1 restaurant in the world only to have them give a restaurant of diners food poisoning and we instead found ourselves eating at the number 2 restaurant. Well this time around we booked number two, only for it to be promoted in the weeks leading up to the reservation. 20 courses, and almost as many glasses of wine later, here is what the food looked like.
We started with red currant and lavender

Next up was a Nordic coconut. It was essentially a warm broth inside the beetroot.

What is lunch without some fried moss?

Elm seeds and yeast (a reprise from last years lunch)

Flower tarts. This was one of my top two courses for the day.

Pickled and smoked quail eggs.

Green asparagus and scallops. The asparagus themselves were cold and the scallop fudge was almost frozen.

Caramelised milk and cod liver.

White cabbage and samphire "sandwich".

Aebleskiver, lovage and parsley. These were my other fav. They are Danish doughnuts and the center was cooked greens.

Lumpfish toast. Mmmmmm duck fat.

Burnt leek and cod roe (another respirsal and one we were very happy to see again).

Shrimp and ramson. They were like little ravioli. Almost too pretty to eat.

White asparagus, black currant leaves and barley.

Beef tartar and ANTS.

Beetroot, sloe berries and aromatic herbs.

Egg and fresh greens (the salad course).

Turbot and nasturtium with cream and wood sorrel

Rhubarb and sorrel with creme fraiche and Spanish chervil.

Armenia berries and sol.

Happily, the chocolate covered pork fat made a come back with the coffee. Can't think of a more perfect way to end a meal than chocolate covered pork fat...
