The story
On Sct. Peders Kirkeplads in central Næstved, B-Spis has quietly become one of Denmark's most compelling reasons to travel beyond Copenhagen. The restaurant is run by chef Kristoffer Ringsing and owner and restaurant manager Brian Jensen — two professionals who trained together at restaurant Babette in Vordingborg before striking out on their own. The White Guide awarded them Masters level recognition in 2026, calling the restaurant "worth a journey" and praising the duo for their "great warmth and professionalism." That is not a phrase critics deploy lightly.
B-Spis describes its cooking as honest food without too much tweaking — seasonal, largely local, with ingredients sourced from the surrounding forests and coastline. The kitchen follows the seasons closely and brings real craft to each plate. White Guide reviewers noted standout moments in an evening menu of five courses with paired wines: a pikeperch with crisp glasswort, chervil, tarragon and a mussel foam split with green oil; a halibut with crown dill, sorrel and bitter coastal herbs matched to a mineral Pouilly-Fumé; and a mushroom consommé with chanterelles, truffles, pickled garlic and pickled mustard that delivered umami of rare depth. The wine pairings throughout the evening were singled out as exceptionally well-matched — kitchen and cellar working as one.
For those who want to go further, the restaurant offers a Wine Table experience — a chef's table format where wine takes the lead. Guests sit with a direct view of the kitchen and wine cellar while a sommelier guides them through a seven-course menu paired with wines from Burgundy, the Rhône, Piedmont, Ribera del Duero and beyond.
The generously lit dining room opens with a sofa area for snacks, setting the tone before the meal proper begins. The space also accommodates private parties of up to 70 guests, smaller meetings in two dedicated rooms, and private dining — either at the restaurant or at the guest's own home, with the full team arriving to cook and serve. The address next to a church makes it a natural choice for weddings and milestone celebrations.
What B-Spis offers Næstved — and anyone willing to make the trip — is seasonal Danish gastronomy executed with genuine skill and an unusually sure hand with wine.
