I swear the Paté Paté franchise has it all figured out: strategically place a winebar somewhere where people can find you, design it with hidden corners and mood lighting, stock up on a killer wine list, provide food for when we get hungry, and watch the kroner roll in.
Ended up at Bibendum on Friday night after a dinner nearby and a strong urge to share a bottle and discuss a variety of topics that tend to hit the table when you have a girl's night with one of your closest friends. Lucky for us there was one table left in an otherwise crowded and jolly establishment, and over some candlelight and a bottle of rosé, we dished out the juicy details of our recent lives confident that the architecture of this basement bar would absorb our stories before the tables nearby did.
A perfect place for a night out with your favorite friend, but I think just about anybody would be thrilled to say they spent their Friday night here.
Pro-tip: come early if you want cold wine - Friday night they apparently sold so much rosé that by the time we got there at 10pm there weren't any completely chilled bottles left, and they didn't have anything to make it colder apart from available time and an empty wine cooler. Thus, my reason for 4 stars, though not entirely their fault - on a summer night they should probably consider planning ahead and stock the freezer. :) read more
