Kong Hans Kælder, Copenhagen

Grab a bite and enjoy High Speed Dining with me, Joel Haas! This is my 1023rd MICHELIN-starred meal on my road to 2000 MICHELIN-starred meals. Kong Hans Kælder (“King John’s cellar”) is located in a vaulted cellar under one of the oldest houses in Copenhagen. Dating more than 700 years back, being erected during the reign of Danish monarch King Hans, legendary author Hans Christian Andersen once lived here. Originally a former merchant’s residence from the Middle Ages, in 1983, the restaurant received the first MICHELIN Star awarded to a Copenhagen restaurant. In September 2021, they received a second MICHELIN Star. Helmed by chef Mark Lundgaard, the cuisine is classic French, yet with contemporary Nordic influences. Buckle up! Their legendary dessert trolley lives up to its promise. “Kong Hans Kælder, Copenhagen” is part of my free “High Speed Dining Food Memories” docueatery book series.
