The food options here are wild -- you can snack your way across the globe without ever leaving the park. One minute it's tacos, the next it's dumplings, then suddenly you're eating something you can't even pronounce but tastes amazing. The skate park gives it a cool, laid-back energy, and the views by the water are just the cherry on top. Perfect spot to grab a bite, sip a beer, people-watch, and pretend you're way cooler than you actually are. Highly recommend.

We asked for their wine varietals and they essentially were re-filling most wines so we were told they had 1 white and 1 red-we ordered one of each. The wines themselves were very fine. However, once you leave the ordering area you realize how cool the area is. The bar overlooks a dock that people have surrounded around in various swim gear. If you plan ahead well enough you can easily go swimming and have a lovely glass of wine. If not, like us, then sit by the dock and enjoy the weather while drinking your glass of wine. We didn't venture into any of the food but really cannot emphasize how much we wished we could lounge further from a swimming standpoint! A lovely stopping point especially if you're on the way to Copenhill.

Being a foodie, I indulged on my week-long Copenhagen trip in October 2021. One restaurant that I…read moredidn't plan on eating at is La Banchina. While exploring the industrial part of the city, I stumbled upon this tiny cafe along the water with a sauna attached to it. Wow, I'm glad I did! The cafe is no-frills, but leads down to a dock where you can enjoy your food, making for lunch with a view. Inside the cafe, you can order cocktails in a can, pastries and lunch from a small menu. For around $15, I ordered a cocktail in a can, pumpkin soup and a bowl of bread with olive oil. The bread was the best I has all trip and the soup was the best I've had ever! Service was fast, efficient and the price was much more affordable compared to many restaurants in Copenhagen. Although there's no wifi, this is still a must-experience.

We were interested in trying the Scandinavian cuisine, so we decided to stop by. The menu had an English section, which we appreciated. The waitstaff was friendly and patient with us. We ordered the mussel soup to share (absolutely divine. We should have ordered one for each of us instead of sharing it! It was so good!), the truffle chicken (the chicken was cooked so perfectly and was extremely tender and juicy), and the linguine (super fresh and perfectly al dente with a rich sauce). The bread with whipped butter was also great. I think the butter had truffle in it, but I'm not positive. It was delicious. The restaurant is located next to the King's Gardens and is a short walk from Norreport St metro station. The ambience is comfortable and intimate; definitely a neighborhood gem. I'm so happy we tried this place!

KenScale: 8.5/10 Visit: February 2024…read more[Note: After some deliberations, I have decided to upgrade all restaurants receiving 8.5 or 8.75 KenScale to five Yelp stars from four.] Perhaps no restaurant in the gastronomical heaven of Copenhagen has as much buzz as Alchemist at the moment. The chef-owner Rasmus Munk believes in the idea of holistic cuisine that redefines dining through multi-sensory experience and fusing diverse elements from philosophy, sustainability, technology and arts, and ever since its opening Alchemist has received almost unparalleled level of praise and attention for its innovative approach to fine dining. For our Copenhagen trip, I very much wanted to check out what Alchemist had to offer and was lucky to secure a reservation for my wife Jun and me. After opening a giant metal door (which almost reminded me of entering some fantasy world of dragons and fairies) of an industrial building, we were led to a dark room with dazzling lights where a female dancer started performing in front of us before handing us a thinly sliced black seaweed-based snack. Our dining experience got even more surreal thereafter. Everything at Alchemist challenges your notion of a restaurant dining experience. Following the immersive experience, we were led to a lounge overlooking a brightly lit room where the kitchen staff was experimenting with different ingredients as if they were scientists researching the next-generation biology. The term for each of the small bites and dishes to come was "impression." It was in the lounge where ACT II (the dark room before was ACT I) began and we started getting more snacks while ordering cocktails and a bottle of wine to drink later. Some of these snacks were quite outstanding with ingenious touch, like the daisy cocktail with yuzu and mandarin, a sphere of gluten with langoustine tartare and caviar on top that generated smoke when we bit in the puff (hence the name "Smokey Ball"), an egg yolk emulsion (cleverly named "omelette") with Comte, pancetta and truffle, and an expression of Spain's bikini sandwich with jamon Iberico and gruyere cheese inside. After all the snacks were we then led to the main dining room that looks more like a planetarium than a restaurant. Throughout ACT III (which is further divided into four Scenes), the ceiling rotated through different video images, ranging from natural settings like ocean under the water to more provocative (and containing heavy political and environmental messages) such as blood cells, caged chickens and "surveillance" symbolized by stacks of computer screens. While we appreciated chef Munk's culinary vision to showcase that eating at a restaurant is not just about enjoying delicious food, at times these images distracted us from examining and savoring a series of dishes that started to arrive at our counter table. It probably didn't help that some of the dishes even had more graphic appearances that some diners might consider too disturbing, like a bowl resembling the surface of an eye (not surprisingly called "1984") with lobster and caviar to be dipped in the middle, a scoop of "Tongue Kiss" (fortunately, it was not a real tongue but a plastic model) where we were told to lick the habanero pepper and anchovy on the tongue's edge, or a mousse of lamb brain and truffle in the middle of a model of dissected brain (named "Food for Thought"). Some of my favorites included Marine Invaders (absolutely fantastic mix of crab and sea urchin, both of which are apparently invasive species in the ocean's ecosystem), Lobster Claw (a deconstructed representation of lobster roll with horseradish cream sauce and tomato powder), King Crab (utilizing crab tail that would've otherwise become food waste into almost like a fish cake with shrimp and langoustine layers), and Hunger (rabbit filet that tasted like a fine cured ham, and with harissa sauce that surprisingly worked well). The final savory course came in the form of chicken thigh glazed with Chinese sauce on a plastic model of chicken foot, followed by actual deboned chicken foot and sweet and sour broth of tom yum soup. Both of these dishes left a more lasting visual impression than how they actually tasted. The desserts also came in the form of small bites inspired by a variety of themes. Booking a table at Alchemist requires as much effort as some of the other finest dining destinations in Copenhagen. Make sure to sign up for a mailing list from the restaurant that will periodically announce when the next reservation window will open. The gigantic wine list at Alchemist was indeed a tour de force, with a fancy gadget that you can use to browse the bottles by categories such as country, region and grape type. At the end of the meal, chef Rasmus came out to greet and thank us for the visit. For a star chef who is probably one of the hottest names in the gastronomy world right now, we found him surprisingly approachable and humble.

Easy Metro ride with one change. It was a Saturday and the restaurant hadca lot of lunch reservations. We were able to snag a table. Danish open-faced sandwich (Smørrebrød) was a novelty for us. There was a vegetarian option with Hummus. I loved the Ruth's Herring open sandwich which was very tasty. Other dishes we ordered were Half n half which is smoked salmon and smoked halibut. Tradition is to eat the open sandwich using a fork and knife if you want to eat like a local. Service was excellent. Nice draft beer pilsner. The name of the restaurant comes from the year the building was rebuilt after a fire. Since it's a old building and it's been maintained in the same way including the cute way the floor slopes. Lunch time got very crowded. Of course if you step out of this side street you will find other restaurants a long the canal and Nyhaven. I'll look forward to being back on a future trip to Copenhagen.

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.

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.
