Copenhagen / Dining


 

Taking home-style dining to an exquisite new level, 1.th. is located in an actual first-floor apartment and is meant to evoke the intimate ambience of a dinner with friends. Guests register their reservations via phone or email in advance and receive formal invitations in the mail. A single pris fixe menu is presented nightly, taking the guesswork out of what to order. Chef Mette Martinussen’s inspired gourmet repertoire continues to astound.

 

This romantic mill-style eatery with a delightful view of the verdant Christianshavn ramparts offers traditional Danish classics like marinated herring and meatballs called frikadeller. We recommend a visit during the summer season, when Christianshavn’s surrounding parkland is at its lushest.

 

Café Victor has a reputation as a magnet for the oyster-slurping jet set. Indeed, after 8pm the place is packed with suits and stilettos, and getting a table can be difficult. Luckily Café Victor is also open for lunchtime business and we strongly recommend a leisurely weekend visit to sample the classic European café menu. Given the upscale clientele, the prices at Victor are surprisingly reasonable and the menu is simple and good.

 

This family-owned trattoria, specialising in the cuisine of northern Italy, is still one of the best-kept secrets in the city. Centrally located on Dronningens Tværgade near leading hotels and the Kongens Have gardens (perfect for a post-dinner stroll). The three- and four-course menus are fairly priced and the staff’s expertise with wine will impress any oenophile. Casa d’Antino was honoured in 2003 with Wine Spectator magazine’s Award of Excellence.

 

The steaks are as thick and sultry as the mood at this Patagonian gaucho-style restaurant, discreetly located near Nyhavn and Kongens Nytorv. Reservations are strongly recommended and be sure to enquire about special events, from tango nights to Latin film nights and international mixers.
