Great location, fantastic service, thoughtful wine pairings, good food -somewhat repetitive use of ingredients and sauces across dishes, could be a part of the ‘story’ they’re telling.

Wonderful experience. Kuk & Co. delivers. The food is awesome and the service even better. Our sommelier changed out a wine that we didn’t like (purely out of personal preference), with a another of much higher quality (and price) without even a second thought. When I praised her pro attitude, her answer was along these lines “When we show up in the morning our most important concern is that when we close in the evening, we know that every single guest leaves with complete satisfaction.” That attitude shines through from the moment you enter until you leave.
I would be surprised if a Michelin star isn’t lurking in a not to distant future.
I am already looking forward to our next visit to Århus and Ghrelin.
