Connection by Alan Bates

Gastronomy points 2024
Uncompromising but likeable
Since 2021, head chef and owner Alan Bates has been hard at work, creating his first solo venture and raising the bar for all Copenhagen restaurants claiming to work sustainably. Connection has three tables housing six guests each, who may or may not know each other beforehand. The menu consists of five exquisitely crafted dishes, solely based on what the small, local producers or the restaurant’s own garden currently have to offer. A beautiful attempt at reestablishing the connection that was once lost – to food, flavours and fellow guests.
Sustainability highlights
- Source (fatty) free range chicken livers to replace foie gras
- 90 percent organic produce
- Purchase local food to support economy
- Non alcoholic menu 100 percent made in house
- Pay their staff above industry average plus pension
- Food waste is partly brought back to the restaurant’s own allotment as fertilizer
