One of Europe’s most celebrated culinary figures, Eric Vildgaard is a phenomenon. The self-taught visionary behind Copenhagen’s Jordnær has redefined Nordic fine dining with a style that is deeply emotional, technically flawless, and intensely personal. His restaurant is widely considered one of the most romantic and refined dining destinations on the planet, earning global acclaim and a place on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. Every dish tells a story — of resilience, transformation, and the power of love — shared with his partner Tina, who co-runs the restaurant. This is gastronomy at its most human: generous, precise, and transcendent.
