Newly opened Restaurant Aure in Copenhagen gained its first star and chef Nicky Arentsen was awarded the Young Chef Award 2024. Restaurant Koks, currently located in Greenland, was notably absent from this year’s list. Special awards included the Service Award to Restaurant Lyst in Vejle and the Sommelier Award to Enomania in Copenhagen.
