The Samuel, led by chef-sommelier Jonathan K. Berntsen, is a temple of Southern European gastronomy housed in a historic Danish villa. The tasting journey is defined by a symbiosis of food and wine, where the aroma of rare vintages complements technically complex dishes. A signature course features razor clams served with a double crème fraiche and lemon oil, topped with a precise mound of Baerii caviar. The texture of the seafood is impeccably tender, achieved through gentle poaching that preserves its oceanic sweetness. Berntsen’s technique is further showcased in the langoustine with Nordic seaweed and a silken beurre blanc, a dish that balances richness with saline depth. The menu progresses through 14 to 16 courses, including a renowned selection of artisanal cheeses housed in a dedicated cabinet. Each plate is a testament to Mediterranean heart and Nordic precision, delivered with a level of detail that commands Michelin-tier respect.
