formel B

Why it is renowned

formel B has held one Michelin star since 2004 and keeps it in the 2026 edition of the Michelin Guide.¹² Its owners count it as the Copenhagen restaurant with the longest unbroken run of a star.³ Many guests come for the wine as much as the food: Burgundy makes up 60 to 70 per cent of the list, often in several vintages.¹

The story

In 2003 two young chefs, Kristian Arpe-Møller and Rune Amgild Jochumsen, took over the formel B premises at the end of Vesterbrogade; the star came a year later.³ Arpe-Møller leads the kitchen as co-owner and head chef, and Jochumsen runs the dining room and built the wine cellar.³ The cooking pairs French method with Danish flavours, in dishes such as scallops with Jerusalem artichoke, langoustine à la nage and potato with egg yolk and truffle.¹
