My favorite breads ever are at Meyers Bageri period . This location is in the basement of Magasin, literally a half escalator's ride from the Kongens Nytorv stop on the metro. Super convenient. Claus Meyer, owner proprietor of MB is co-founder of Noma. Here, you get to sample a bread master's work: he provides modern Danish pastries, THE uniquely crunchy(outside)/soft(inside) breads, and rolls from seeded, multi grain to plain. This location is also a deli so, you can have sandwiches too!! I haven't tried the burgers yet but I will someday. I've never tired of the breads here. I crave them to this day months after leaving Copenhagen. The breads are beautifully baked, the colors of the crust go more in hues of dark brown to grey, burnt in some places, so stunning looking, you can't help but think that baking traditions rooted in ancient Scandinavian bread making practices is what makes these products so incredibly delicious and desirable. The result--unique crispness of the crust and texture. And the dough inside has a chew to it and there's little air pockets as opposed to large holes in breads that are popular these days.. I LOVE this bread. No breads I've had in the U.S. and many bakeries I've tried in France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Holland compare to the bread here... It's no wonder there's a line almost every day I've visited. And let me not get started with the butter. I love Danish butter and bread here. I'd put a 3/4" thick slice of butter (yep, the thicker the more profound the flavor) with the bread here; you close your eyes, and savor the crust and dough melding with the thick slice of butter. Genius. This experience cannot be duplicated anywhere else.
The Danish pastries here are 2die4, I've had them everyday of my visit, I LOVE them ALL. Get to any of Meyers 5-6 locations all over Copenhagen as soon as you arrive. I swear to you you will fall deeply head over heels in love.
Visits: Daily but couldn't check-in, hardly any signal in the basement
Tip: They give you a piece of sourdough starter, FREE, if you wanna try your art. Claus Meyer has restaurants also. read more
