Mikael Kopp
Our General Manager can wear many hats. He is a chef, creator, cookbook author and creative zealot who is passionate about quality and creative development. Mikael is always busy with ideas brewing and he stubbornly insists that the good ingredients can and should be found locally. The CV is long, and so are his achievements in the world of gastronomy. With love and respect for nature and the Danish flora and fauna, the switch to Fauna was right for Mikael.
With love and respect for nature
“I look forward to showing our guests how local surroundings can be reflected in our restaurants, and that ingredients do not have to come from abroad to be the best – on the contrary. Like the rest of the house, we feel an obligation to be at the forefront of sustainability, and we see it as an opportunity to go even further with a locally based kitchen.” - Mikael Kopp
