Maaemo is only open Wednesdays through Saturdays, while Statholdergaarden is open Mondays through Saturdays.
Galt was awarded their first Michelin star this year, and has also received good reviews

Haven't dined there myself, though.
Restaurant Kontrast is also a great spot, I particularily liked the wine pairings. I remember I did find the chairs a bit uncomfortable.
Good luck

Thank you for the info! I'll be there July 4-7, so sadly I can't avail myself of the opening on the 13th. But I'll keep my fingers crossed and will investigate Galt and Kontrast as well
Forgot to mention I went to Cafe China (NYC 1*) a few weeks ago. My Szichuan-style pork belly was delicious!
