    Came here for the schnitzel, which was super lightly breaded and tender, delicious brown butter…read moresauce with umami from the anchovies and capers in the sauce. The accompanying potato salad was light and vinegar/olive oil based rather than mayo based, which was a nice contrast to the rich brown butter sauce. Ambiance is super cute, exposed beams and brick, the old Noma spot. Great date night. Waiters were friendly and recommended their cider (specifically made for Barr) which reminded us of a sour + an orange wine. Spaeztle with chanterelle mushrooms was very savory, a little too rich for my liking but my partner loved it. One minor issue we had was the brown crab dish's crab was overpowered by the bitter char on the romaine lettuce, and I thought too little crab per bite.

    The biggest draw here is probably the location. Being in Noma's former space naturally creates…read morecertain expectations, but it's important to walk in understanding that this is not Noma, and the experience doesn't try to be. Overall, we had an enjoyable meal, but nothing truly stood out. The food was good, not great. We ordered the schnitzel, which was perfectly serviceable, but not particularly memorable or elevated in a way that justified the buzz surrounding the restaurant. It felt more like a solid neighborhood meal than a destination dining experience. The service was where the experience fell a bit flat for us. This isn't unique to this restaurant, but we've found much of Scandinavia's dining culture to be less hospitality-driven than what we're accustomed to elsewhere. The staff was polite enough, but there wasn't much warmth, engagement, or effort to create a memorable experience. It felt more transactional--food arrives, you're checked on occasionally, and that's about it. The atmosphere is pleasant, and we certainly didn't leave disappointed. We enjoyed our evening and had a nice meal. That said, given the history of the space and the reputation that comes with it, we left feeling that the experience didn't quite live up to the expectations. Worth a visit if you're curious about the location, but not a place I'd go out of my way to revisit. Four stars.

    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. ;)
