Why it is renowned

MOTA entered the Michelin Guide Nordic Countries in 2022 as a new addition with one star,1 and has kept the star in every edition to 2026.2 The Michelin Guide lists it among the restaurants of Zealand for its creative, farm-to-table cooking.3

The story

Chef Claus Henriksen runs MOTA in Anneberg Kulturpark near Nykøbing Sjælland, in a listed red-brick house from the early 20th century.3 The buildings were put up as a psychiatric hospital, and the kitchen keeps that history in the name of its menu, Mørkt og Sygt.4 The produce comes from the farms, woods and fjord of Odsherred: a single menu of 13 servings that changes with the season, served at lunch and dinner.4
