History
Launched in spring 2007, Geranium initially operated in Kongens Have, Copenhagen, established by Rasmus Kofoed together with Søren Ledet. After receiving its first Michelin star in 2008, the restaurant closed in 2009 but resumed operations at Parken Stadium in 2010. By March 2013, Geranium had been awarded two Michelin stars and ranked 45th on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, maintaining this two-star status through 2014. On February 24, 2016, it became the first Danish restaurant to earn three Michelin stars, simultaneously with Norway’s Maaemo, marking a milestone as the first Nordic restaurants to reach this accolade. In 2022, William Reed's The World’s 50 Best Restaurants recognized Geranium as the best restaurant globally.
