Maître Rôtisseur Morten Krogholm is the talented chef and owner of Bistro RK, a vibrant addition to Copenhagen’s culinary scene. Located in an old bank in the multicultural Nørrebro district it’s one of the city’s promising new dining destinations. Bistro RK, which opened in April 2022, combines classic European cuisine with Morten’s innovative flair. Culinary art in the highest league.

Morten began his culinary journey in 2000, training at prestigious establishments like Kong Hans Kælder, Noma and Søllerød Kro, before serving as Head Chef at Michelin-starred Kokkeriet. To Bistro RK, he brings over two decades of experience, aiming to raise the bar for Danish gastronomy. Teaming up with his former sous chef, Magnus Rosendahl, the duo focuses on preparing high-quality dishes rooted in French and Italian culinary traditions, such as Tournedos Rossini and Agnolotti with 'nduja, alongside vegan options like their celebrated vegan cassoulet.

Beyond just a passion for cooking, Morten and his team strive to create a complete dining experience, from attentive service to a thoughtfully designed restaurant ambiance. Bistro RK is in a special class, in cosy, beautiful surroundings with a high level of service, which Restaurant Manager Mia Larsen and her team take pride in delivering. Bistro RK has gained praise for its à la carte offerings, setting it apart from many new restaurants that favour set menus.

Morten’s ambition doesn’t stop at Bistro RK. Plans for expanding with more restaurants are already underway, cementing his growing influence in Copenhagen’s restaurant scene. As a member of the Chaîne, his work has been acknowledged by the highest culinary circles in Denmark, further affirming his dedication to gastronomy.

Morten likes to throw himself into new challenges and tasks. Involving his network to optimize the result, Morten thinks outside the box, for example by starting a bistro located in Nørrebro, which does not have many similar competitors as neighbours. He is a fighter and works hard to create good experiences for the guests.

For those seeking a blend of refined, yet approachable European classics with a modern touch, Bistro RK is a must-visit spot in Copenhagen.
