Opinionated About Dining: 100+ Best Restaurants in Europe 2022

Alchemist in Copenhagen has been named the best restaurant in Europe by Opinionated About Dining for a second consecutive year.

The annual Top 100+ Restaurants in Europe list, which pools the opinions of over 6,000 experienced voters, named Restaurant Frantzén in Stockholm, Sweden, in second place; Etxebarri in Axpe, Spain, in third; and Andreas Caminada's Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau, Switzerland, fourth, meaning there is no change in ranking from last year's top four.

Rasmus Munk's two-Michelin-star restaurant offers a unique dining experience, where an evening takes place in five different settings arranged in acts, combining art, drama, music, sensory stimulation and visual technology, where dishes may convey strong political and environmental messages, from plastic pollution to child labour and organ donation.

Munk said: “To receive this honour for the second year proves to me that our ambition to constantly develop the restaurant has borne fruit. It also shows that it is possible to merge the worlds of gastronomy and art, without compromising on any one of them."

Spain boasts the highest number of entries this year, with nearly 40, while Italy has 20, France 16 and Denmark 15 in total. See the top ten restaurants listed below, and for the full Top 100+ Restaurants Europe 2022 visit OAD.
