Copenhagen Restaurants

Copenhagen has experienced a gastronomical revolution over the past decade. A rising interest in new Nordic cooking emphasizes using locally sourced raw materials and high-quality seasonal ingredients. Wild game, cured or smoked fish and meats, Limfjord oysters, Læsø langoustine, eel, and plaice are a few examples.

There's also been a revival of authentic Danish fare. Most such meals begin with sild, pickled herring of various flavors, served on rugbrød, a very dark and dense rye-based bread. This bread is also the basis for smørrebrød—open-face sandwiches piled high with various meats, vegetables, and condiments. For dinner, try flæskesteg, pork roast with a crispy rind, which is commonly served with rødkål, stewed red cabbage, and potatoes.

There are plenty of bistros serving moderately priced meals, and for inexpensive savory noshes in stylish surroundings, consider lingering in a café. Many restaurants offer fixed-priced meals with wine-pairing menus, and most restaurants require reservations. Many restaurants tack a surcharge of between 3.75% and 5.75% onto the bill for the use of foreign credit cards.

  • 1. Pastis

    $$ | Indre By

    This lively eatery, which looks exactly like your favorite brasserie in Paris, is the place to go for French dishes. Its accomplished chef and owner, Mikkel Egelund, satisfies with classics like entrecote with béarnaise and crispy fries, moules marinière (mussels steamed in white wine and herbs), or salade niçoise. Also good is the plateau de fruits de mer (a platter of "fruit" of the sea), with lobster, oysters, and shrimp. Enjoy a predinner drink at the brass bar or have after-dinner coffee or a cognac on the patio. The restaurant has an a la carte menu for lunch and dinner, and a three-course dinner prix fixe for DKr 375.

    The food at this centrally located restaurant is delicious and unpretentious, and the service is friendly. Decked out in dark wood and concrete, the dining room here is stylish in an understated way. Pluto is owned by the same people who run Retour and Gorilla—establishments that are also worth a visit.
