In London, the Danish dining sensation, Jordnær, surprised an entire world culinary community, as the restaurant went from not even being amongst the Top 51-100 and straight into the holy halls of The World’s 50 Best Restaurant List with a remarkable first ranking as No. 38 at the international culinary Oscars.

Chef Eric Vildgaard states:

“Love conquers all! Less than 5 years ago we sold Tina’s diamond ring and watch to be able to buy plates and glassware for ours then very humble dining room. Today we have been blessed with this recognition. It’s surreal and so very wonderful. Congratulations to everyone who has been a part of our young restaurant’s incredible journey. You all have a share in this. And a deep felt thank you to all who have voted for us. No. 38!! Incredible! Unbelievable! Yes!”

Jordnær is a fine dining restaurant created inside a humble three-starred hotel in the suburbs of Copenhagen. It’s the grand love story of Eric & Tina Kragh Vildgaard – Chef and Maître d’ of an establishment that has taken the Nordic,- and now also the world’s restaurant scene by storm within a short period of years. This while having a family of six children to look after.

Jordnær holds two Michelin stars and The Michelin Nordic Countries Welcome & Service Award, and is as No. 38 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurant List.
