One of the hottest recent nightlife venues in the city,
Barstarten also offers excellent food. During the weekends,
locals and savvy visitors flock to this funky venue,
for the DJ sets and the buzzing atmosphere. The menu
includes fresh Mediterranean dishes (highlights are
the Mediterranean polenta with roast vegetables and
the grilled fish) which are served with fresh salads.
The Sunday brunch menu is good value. Booking is advisable,
seeing as only 25 covers can be catered for. |

B |
Price:
Dkk550 . Wine: Dkk365. |

Formel B is an unexpected find in a busy part of Copenhagen.
The Head chef Singh Gill performs culinary wonders with
the freshest of local produce in a stylish setting that
just manages to avoid being pretentiously hip, with
polished wooden floors and a sleek, minimalist look.
Cooking is French with a funky accent and includes codfish
with oysters, bouillon of quail with truffles and foie
gras, and mushroom pie with walnuts. The restaurant’s
6-course menu is among the best in the city. Reservations
strongly recommended. No lunch is served . Closed on
Sunday. |

Restaurant
Godt
|
Price:
Dkk445-565 (set menus). Wine: Dkk250 |
|
Anglo-Danish husband and wife team run this small restaurant
and more than justifies its Michelin star. Focus is
on fresh local meats and seafood given innovative culinary
twists. The daily changing set menus (3, 4 or 5 courses)
might include soup of Norway lobster served with monkfish
and red caviar, or brill with a beurre blanc of oysters
or veal with a sauce of morels. The wine list is extensive
but diners can also choose to have a ‘wine menu’
offering a glass of different wine to accompany each
course (Dkk100 per course). The simple 2-decked restaurant
is very relaxing and is tastefully decorated –
only pictures of the late King Frederick and Queen Ingrid,
parents of the present Queen, adorn the walls. There
are a very limited number of tables and Godt is no longer
the closely guarded secret it once was, so booking as
far ahead as possible is essential. Closed Sunday and
Monday and at other holiday times. |

| Konrad |
Price:
Dkk400. Wine: Dkk225. |
|
Konrad, one of the leading lights of the modern Scandinavian
culinary revolution of the mid-1990s, remains one of
the most respected restaurants in Copenhagen. In tribute
to the English design guru and restaurateur, Terence
Conran, Konrad’s geometrically clean and stylish
interior, DJ bar and cool clientele ensure this venue’s
continued popularity. A hip restaurant with equally
hip clientele, this is the place to see and be seen.
The food combines French with Danish, including such
offerings as boeuf Béarnaise, beef carpaccio
with cauliflower served with lemon and parmesan, and
stuffed crab and lemon sole with oyster sauce, saffron
and bacon. At weekends, after midnight, the restaurant
transforms into a cocktail bar. |

| La
Petite Bourgogne |
Price: Dkk350. Wine: Dkk175 |
|
This 3-storey La Petite Bourgogne in a corner of the
Kultorvet marketplace specialises in classic Burgundy
dishes, something of a novelty so far from its home
but definitely worth checking out, especially for lovers
of the accompanying Burgundy wine. The decor is a relaxing
burgundy red with contemporary paintings on the walls.
There are 3 menus: a taster of 5 or 6 courses (from
Dkk399), the Burgundy menu and an à la carte
menu. Starters include snails in garlic butter, flaky
smoked salmon with watercress, or an excellent crayfish
and cauliflower soup, while mains, such as Bresse chicken
breast served with a morel cream sauce or rabbit in
bacon with Dijon sauce, will delight. There is also
the classic repertoire of coq au vin and boeuf bourgignon,
plus a splendid selection of cheeses. Booking is recommended.
