( CNN ) -- At last count , Copenhagen 's restaurants boasted 12 Michelin stars between them , more than anywhere else in Scandinavia . Rebe Redzepi , right , is head chef at Noma . Noma ( Strandgade 93 ) is unique in that it can claim two of those stars . From a converted waterfront warehouse , chef Rebe Redzepi offers a modern take on Nordic cuisine , scouring Scandinavia for ingredients such as langoustines from the Faeroe Islands , wild salmon from Iceland and musk ox from Greenland -- fantastic served with glazed beetroots , apple and smoked marrow . Geranium ( Kronprinsessegade 13 ) , in the beautiful gardens of Kongens Have , has earned a Michelin star for its biodynamic , organic cuisine , including some imaginative vegetarian dishes -- try the new carrots with elderflower vinegar , sago and white chocolate .

Vegans will find unfussy fare at Den Gronne Kaelder ( Pilestaede 48 ) and Restaurant Flow ( Gyldenløvesgade 10 ) dishes up organic vegetarian food in a relaxed setting . Danes drink more coffee per person than any other nationality , so perhaps it 's not so surprising that they have won the world barista championship four times in the last eight years .
