Getting here is a bit off the beaten path but this neighborhood is up and coming. I see it was how Williamsburg was before it blew up. In fact noma is just down the block. FYI, Amass was here first. We got the tasting menu with wine pairing so there were many dishes. The highlights were definitely the beef tongue and goose. The beef tongue was perfectly tender and the wild goose was beautifully tender. I can't say enough about their bread. It's like their version of a sour dough brioche that has been finished off on the grill. And the dip that it comes with is crack. The best part is you can have as much of it as you like. The wine pairings also went very well with the courses. It really complemented the dishes perfectly. And after dinner, you can even sit in their garden with a warm fire pit. If you have a chance, make a reservation to Amass. You won't be disappointed.

It seems to be the hottest ticket in town and I thought we weren't going when the waitlist opened up. Lucky us... On the border of Frederiksberg/Nørrebro, it took over the old Gilt bar space. It's an open kitchen with a small counter and then a handful of dining room tables. A very international staff mans the front and back of house and sometimes it's hard to tell who's who. As the menu goes along you then see the breakdown of expertise... Relæ is almost an indescribable flavor experience that often presented things on paper that didn't make sense but were ultimately delicious. It qa often challenging in the best possible way but I do know some who found it inedible. But one likes what one likes. At Jatak the techniques of Relæjave been made leas challenging if one has tried Chinese cuisine specifically from the Cantonese canon. Luckily I grew ip where the two best Chinese places were Cantonese and so I was exposed to a base understanding of the cuisine "s traditional flavors. Plays on the Cantonese pastries, steamed fish, wontons, etc are smattered throughout with a plethora of Danish ingredients and sometimes the melding of techniques. It's a concise and light menu though, not the gut busting examples of dim sum, chow fun, claypots and such ive experienced where i grew up. Not that the latter is a bad thing it's just sometimes you don't want to be comatose after. Beautiful food, delicious intriguing flavors , and a great overall experience.

We had a reservation for a Friday night around 8pm, and the restaurant was actually surprisingly not crowded at all. Every bite was perfect and complemented with their 108 lager beer. Also, they probably have the best bread I've ever had. The staff were really great, kind, and friendly. Highly recommended for an unforgettable Copenhagen experience! Some background: There's no escaping Noma's influence on the local dining scene, where nearly every top chef has logged time with René Redzepi. But no restaurant is as closely tied as 108, the first Noma spinoff that opened in a spacious stone building in 2016. The chef and co-owner Kristian Baumann (formerly of both Noma and Relae) adheres to the foraging-pickling-fermenting culinary philosophy, serving blue mussels with salted gooseberries and roasted yeast oil, peas with a dollop of caviar encircled by edible petals, and an astoundingly beautiful bouquet of zucchini flowers and summer greens. What distinguishes 108 is its accessibility: There's an à la carte menu, prices are comparatively modest (most dishes are under 200 kroner), and there are seats for walk-ins in the lively, laid-back dining room.

I opted for the juice pairing here and it was delightful. First time trying it and there were so many unique flavors. Overall, I feel it doesn't quite enhance the food as well as wine, but it's still worth a try. We went with the 5 course menu, which turned out to be avant-garde. One interesting aspect is that the table has all the utensils in a hidden drawer. Pre-appetizer Fried shallots in sourdough batter with sourdough sauce. This was a nice treat that was lightly fried. The sourdough bread here is definitely the best I've had. It's super fresh from the oven, skin was slightly burnt and crispy and the inside dough was so fluffy. Danish cucumber and coriander mackarel - very light. Nice intro. Not much mackarel taste. Fermented gooseberry and elderflower - this juice pairing was slightly sour from the fermentation. Zuchinni basil, zuchinni sauce - Delightful dish. Very flavorful. Zuchinni was all warm and easy to cut. Very fleshy almost like meat. Fruit juice was basically a palette cleanser prepping my mouth for the same experience over and over. Blueberry and pine honey - reminds me of being in nature. Strong smell of pine. Sweet blueberry aftertaste. This was an amazing juice by itself. Dill with cuts of lamb - interesting dish that came with a contrasting dish made of white radish, sheep yogurt and dill vinegar. Almond milk cheese apricot basalmic sauce. Cracker from waste of almond milk pulp. Cracker was not too crunchy. Almond milk cheese was fantastic. Thick and a little rougher, but very almonds. They used some cheese culture to make it so it's not vegan. Birch tea and earl grey tea - strong earl taste. Heavy on the tongue. Chervil and dandelion juice pairing. Parfait - currant, meringue, rose. Creamy and sweet from the currant. Juice pairing was a good neutralizer for the sweetness.

We got the 7 course tasting menu. What we especially enjoyed was that each dish was a understated celebration of the ingredients. For example, one of the dishes was two different types of radishes with a wonderful butter sauce. The sauce brought out the smooth flavor of the radishes. Another dish was a cabbage roll while had different leaves such as lettuce, kale, cabbage with a white sauce. Once again, sauces did not dominate but complimented the ingredients. Perhaps our favorite dish was a simple dish of perfectly cooked potatoes with a horseradish sauce. Dessert was great - a birch ice cream over rhubarb and a chocolate mousse with cookies on top. Again, very deftly done, nothing too overpowering. We loved this meal and really spent the time enjoying every bite. I took a photo of each course!

Noma was almost entirely out of question (getting a reservation here is tougher than winning the lottery, or at least, seemingly so). Relæ was closed on Sunday's and Monday's. So, we went with Manfreds--sister restaurant of Relæ, opened everyday of the week from 12noon to 10p. We had a reservation at 6p on a Sunday for a group of 6, and we opted to sit outside at the shared sidewalk tables. All of us went with the Chef's Choice (7 small dishes for sharing) and we split a Size M Manfreds Tartare. Staying true to their motto: "Manfreds - (probably) the world's only veggie-focused restaurant famous for its raw meat," the Chef's Choice largely focused on seasonable vegetables and ingredients, with a few meat and fish dishes thrown in. Most of us are meat lovers, but each dish was a deeply satisfying collision of tastes and textures, and we only got more impressed with these veggie-based dishes as dinner went on. And while 7 dishes, 8 dishes if you include the Manfreds Tartare, doesn't sound or seem like a whole lot of food, we were stuffed by the end. Benedict, our server, checked up on us promptly and regularly. At one point during our meal, she divulged that the chefs at Manfreds all have 'floor shifts' when they serve, rather than cook, once a week to gain a better perspective on their customers--and she happened to be doing hers that night. I absolutely loved dinner at Manfreds. Benedict, sorry, if I got your name wrong, but you were absolutely delightful; super fun and informative. Manfreds is nestled in the cozy neighborhood of Jægersborggade in Nørrebro--just right outside the usual touristy areas of Copenhagen. The food was fresh, and often surprised us with unexpected flavors. This was a first time visit, but definitely not last for me!

THE BEST IN THE WORLD! 5.0+ + +…read more It's hard to imagine that one of the world's most acclaimed restaurants is located on the 8th floor of a football stadium. Yet, that is exactly where we found Geranium. We arrived by taxi at Parken, home to F.C. Copenhagen and the Danish national football team. Waiting for us were two gentlemen who greeted us and directed us toward the elevator. It was a rather unexpected beginning to what would become one of our most memorable dining experiences. As the elevator doors opened on the 8th floor, everything changed. Gone was the feeling of being inside a football stadium. Instead, we entered a beautiful, serene dining room overlooking the treetops of Fælledparken. Geranium calls it "Dinner in the Canopy." With all of their accolades, I could not say that I did not expect a lot. After all, they've earned three medals in the Bocuse d'Or competition (one of each: bronze, silver and gold), three Michelin stars and the ever-so-coveted World's Best Restaurant in 2022 by The World's 50 Best Restaurants. We were in for a treat, but just not knowing the level at which that excellence would reach. We were led to our beautiful, circular table of light-colored wood and stone and to a fabulous view of the open kitchen. As we looked around us, it seemed that most were dressed in business casual. We weren't too sure about the dress code, so we dressed up a bit and absolutely felt at home. The staff were immaculate in their service and presentation. On the table was an upright envelope, held in place by a slotted wooden piece. Nearby were scissors resting on a napkin atop a wooden plate. With the scissors, we revealed the contents of the envelope--the menu. This was a fabulous interactive touch, filling the evening with even more excitement and mystique. My husband decided to choose our own wines for the evening. We usually go with the wine pairing, but he was feeling daring and adventurous. When the Sommelier brought us the wine list, I must have gasped, as it was the largest wine list I had ever seen. It was not a book; it was a novel at nearly 300 pages! With the expert assistance of the Sommelier, my husband chose some wonderful wines and finished our meal off with an ice wine. We dined during their Winter Universe menu. The dishes were beautifully plated and presented with such precision. Just when I thought I had experienced something so wonderful, the next dish would arrive and surpass the former. I was completely delighted with everything: the food, wine, service, pacing and atmosphere. Just when I thought that things could not get any better, we were invited to take a tour of the wine cellar, private rooms displaying a fun portrait of Chef Rasmus Kofoed and Søren Ledet (co-owners of Geranium), a display case with the three Bocuse d'Or statues and the open kitchen. Their wine cellar is astonishing and could have its own separate review. At the time, they housed Dominus (1991, 2007, 2015), Château Margaux (2008) and a Château Mouton Rothschild (1982), to mention a few in a sea of bottles! Upon returning to our table, we enjoyed multiple sweet bites uniquely presented along with a lace-like edible botanical centerpiece of delicate gold Jerusalem-artichoke to resemble leaves and flowers. Our dining extravaganza was over four and a half hours (make it closer to five hours if you include our time chatting with the manager up front). Time flew by as we indulged in the most amazing meal I've ever experienced. We're so fortunate to have been able to dine here and will take these memories with us. In our hearts and taste buds, it will be quite the feat to surpass this gem.
