Copenhagen is the city in the Nordic countries with the most Michelin stars. In 2010 Copenhagen was awarded 13 stars divided between 12 restaurants. Copenhagen also became centre of attention when noma was nominated as the best restaurant in world.
The Danish gastronomic success has not just led to stars and international top ratings; it has also put gastronomy on both the media and the political agenda.
We at HORESTA are proud of the work that leading Danish chefs and restaurateurs carry out. We are proud to witness the successful path that they help build. Therefore we do our best to ensure that Danish gastronomy gets the necessary framework and attention to maintain and further develop its quality and trends.
To help strengthening the industry, HORESTA organises several Gastronomic events such as the annual Danish Championship for chefs and waiters; Årets Kok and Årets Tjener, and the Danish Trainee Championship for trainees in the chef, waiter, cater and open sandwich maker professions. Furthermore HORESTA is cofounder of the Team Gastronomi Danmark with a seat on the steering committee for the planning of the future MadExperimentarium.
