Kong Hans Kælder, established in 1976 by the Grønlykke family, resides within Copenhagen's oldest cellar, a space steeped in history dating back over 700 years. Once a residence during the reign of King Hans and later home to Hans Christian Andersen, the restaurant exudes an intimate atmosphere with its vaulted ceilings and soft lighting. The kitchen, led by chef Mark Lundgaard, crafts classic French cuisine with contemporary Nordic influences. Kong Hans Kælder earned Copenhagen's first Michelin star in 1983 and currently holds two Michelin stars, a testament to its enduring commitment to excellence. The restaurant's team attends to every need, ensuring guests are spoiled in an atmosphere of gastronomic decadence.
