Copenhagen has so many delicious restaurants and this is among our favorites. It is in a beautiful location and has a cool charming basement vibe with bottles of aquavit marinating with different seasonal blends scattered all over the restaurant. We tried the special 3 course meal, which included picking two smorrebrod (open-faced sandwiches), which are paired with their home-brewed aquavit and dessert. I tried the spiced herring which had the best blend of flavors and a small amount of miso, which gave it the umami (essence of deliciousness) flavor. Now I am not a big fan of herring, but was pleasantly surprised. The entire meal was 10/10. The only reason why it isn't a full five stars is that we waited for a long time and they forgot the dessert. After we said something, we didn't have enough time to stick around and wait for them to make it. Pro-tip: In Denmark, you need to make reservations for the majority of restaurants for lunches and dinners. So book at least the day in advance to get seated here.

We opted out for four courses food experience with juice pairing - and weren't disappointed! The restaurant offered traditional Danish dishes with a twist. What a twist! Have never thought that potato salad can be so exciting! Each dish boasted complex combination of flavours, with ingredients complementing each other and making the food sensations more intense. The waiter describes each dish when it's being served, and also pours the sauce. The place itself is intimate and cosy, and make sure you book in advance on Friday/Saturday evenings as it's very popular!

Sunday dinner at 7 pm - 4 courses dinner with wine pairing Service: attentive Ambiance: casual, the restaurant is located at the basement level, with no air-con, no fan, buds with flies around Pri e: it's ok Food quality: above my expectations, like the fish dish very much, great selection for the wine pairing Remarks: they charged water for 25 Kronos per person !!!

Definitely on the pricier side, but a great place for upscale Danish food in the heart of Copenhagen. The service was excellent, and the presentation of all the food was top notch. I went for lunch and got the potato smorrebrod and it was excellent!

Amazing 4 course meal. Loved that our server shared details of each course when they served it. Very cute and cozy downstairs room. Courses- Beef tartare- highlight!! Fried scallop with peas and andouille sausage Baked cod with asparagus and truffle sauce Sorbe

Had passed Pastis a few times while visiting Norreport and decided to give it a try…read more I called ahead to find out they stop serving food/kitchen closes (beverages are availabile) from 3:30-5:30 as a break between lunch and dinner. I arrived around 3 and decided to do the two course meal. I wanted Foie Gras as the second course so the server suggested the Nicoise Salad instead of the Chèvre Salad (next time) which was great advice. This salad was amazing! Perfect combo of Tuna (sashimi), anchovies, haricots verts, olives with a light dressing. The Foie Gras was also very good. The staff was attentive and friendly. Probably the top French restaurant in Copenhagen. I will be back to try some of the main courses.

You know a restaurant's food isn't that memorable if you instead recall walking into the restaurant…read moreroom and I lovely blonde woman walks out past you as your mouth hangs open. "I must be in the wrong room!" I sputtered embarrassingly. She laughed and said with a smile "unisex!" Ah wonderful Copenhagen. So, once I'd confirmed my gender, I took out pronouns back to our table and finished my order. I tease with complete good natured seriousness! Few my age "get" the binary and gender-complex array of people and respect it and again;: Denmark: cutting edge of common sense. But Pastis was not remotely the same or similar to the long gone Pastis of the Meatpacking district if the West Village, a much missed true bôite francaise d'NYC. Steak frite was tough with gristle and somewhat cold. Fries are fries. No Tuborg or Carlsberg! Quelle horreur! Still, the convivial and graceful staff, the people watching outside and more made it a pleasant miss. At one point an electric car crunched glass along the curb and minutes later, a Pastisian was out sweeping it up. Tak!

Great restaurant in Copenhagen. The waffle dish was amazing and I wish I could have it again…read more Everything was cooked perfectly. However, the schnitzel was a bit too salty and the tartare was too soft. The radish did however help with the texture a bit. The oyster dish was tiny but worth the delicious bite. The best thing was the service. Everyone was so kind, attentive, and knew the menu/drinks very well. The ambiance of the restaurant is also great and cozy.

Our hotel suggested the restaurant and made the reservation.Before going, I didn't know what to…read moreexpect. I just wanted a good meal. It's located near canals, a museum, and several bustling restaurants. It's in the original Noma space, so most customers have high expectations. Atmosphere: The interior is Nordic chic, rustic and elegant. Even though we had a reservation, we were seated at a long table with other guests. At the time we were there, the angle of the sun hit me right in the eyes and I had trouble reading the menu and seeing for a few minutes. Their curtains are sheer, so they didn't help. The captain apologized, and said there was nothing he could do. Service: we were seated and given drinks menus. Everyone around us was served water, given menus and a description of what was available. Finally, a server came by to take our order, apologized for us not having menus nor water. I requested tap water, so I was surprised to be charged 30krone per carafe. Food: Every item shows technical proficiency and attention to detail. We ordered the schnitzel. It came with a small serving of fresh peas, cream, horseradish and a brown butter sauce. It was delicious. I would have liked more horseradish and peas. The sautéed leeks were served with salad greens and hard to cut. They tasted fine, but a sharper knife would have been appreciated; through our meal, no one came by. We also tried the hake. It looked small, but was very filling.

This is a surprising little gem in the downtown area. Surprising because it's wedged between a…read morecomedy club and a handful of so so cafés and eateries that prey on unassuming tourists, but also because the light and elegant Northern European decor doesn't quite prepare you for the authentic French bistro fare you're about to experience. The owners have a serious culinary pedigree, and don't disappoint. I've been here a few times with my mother and some friends, respectively and had seriously satisfying meals every time. Love the chèvre chaud, an old favorite, and the steak with bearnaise is always grilled to absolute juicy perfection. The sleeper hit is the salad; I just really really love a well made salad which is super simple and crunchy but with that thick and tangy mustard vinaigrette that complements everything on the plate. I haven't yet tried all the desserts, since I always go for the crème brûlée. So far I've had it paired with different sorbets, super yummy and true to the fruits, but alas I'm a purist, and really don't want anything cold and tangy interfering with my favorite pudding. Luckily my companions have been helpful in not letting anything go to waste. :) If you're ever in downtown CPH and hungry, keep this place in mind. They even have French "pizza" if you just need a quick bite during your lunch break. The staff are all super friendly and seem to genuinely love having you there. Very un-Danish in that respect. ;)
