Kiin Kiin

With its exotic decoration and even more exotic flavours, Kiin Kiin brings a bit of Thai culture in the heart of Copenhagen’s multicultural neighbourhood. The Michelin-starred restaurant serves a nine-course menu, which is enough to make every foodie fall in love with Thai cuisine and the restaurant’s chef Henrik Yde-Andersen.

When legendary Danish chef and sommelier Henrik Yde Andersen opened a Thai restaurant in Nørrebro together with Lertchai Treetawatchaiwong, it was to bring a different dimension to traditional Thai cuisine. Kiin Kiin went on to become one of the few Thai restaurants outside Thailand with a Michelin star, thanks to Yde Andersen’s cooking techniques and ingredients that add a special touch to Thai cuisine. The oriental experience begins in the lounge with snacks accompanied by wine or beer before being served a meal, comprising seven or eight courses, at your table.

‘Kiin Kiin’ is the cute way some Thai parents summon their kids in for supper and in the case of the Copenhagen restaurant that takes this name, it’s worth heeding that call. Holding a Michelin star for ten consecutive years – and Denmark’s only Thai eatery to do so – Kiin Kiin mixes immersive classic Thai dishes and spices with Danish produce. The evening tasting menu takes you on a journey through plates including lobster and prawn Tom Yam Soup, coconut milk and corn with quail, and yellow crab curry among many others, all of which are artfully presented.

It's also here that legendary restaurateur, Henrik Yde, opened his now-famous Restaurant Kiin Kiin on Guldbergsgade, which is the only Thai restaurant outside of Thailand with a Michelin star. Another top chef, Noma alumni Christian Puglisi, also decided to place his Italian/Nordic food empire in the Nørrebro neighborhood. With his world-renowned pizza place Bæst on Guldbergsgade, he has made his mark on not only the Nørrebro foodscape but certainly the entire Danish gastronomic universe.
