    It's not *that* hard to find. Entrance to the right of this sign, then go up the interior stairs (not the scaffold stairs shown here).
    Joseph M.

    First if all, it's not *that* hard to find. Go in the main entrance to Christiania, it's in the big set of brick buildings on the left. Look for the giant sign that marks where the restaurant is (see my picture; it's past Cafe Loppen, don't get confused), the entrance is to the right of the sign, where a smaller sign points you up a couple of flights of stairs. It is also not as fancy as the website suggests. It's a paper-napkin and paper-placement kind of place, not cloth. I worried that wearing a t-shirt I would be underdressed, despite being inside Christiania. I need not have worried; it's casual. We called in a reservation but there were always open tables the entire time we were there (a Wednesday in early August). The service was exceptional. When we went, there was one table of 47 people (we asked) down the center of the space, all university-age, and then a few other tables of three or four, like us. When I saw that, I worried that the wait staff and the kitchen would be a bit overwhelmed and food/service would be slow. Right after we ordered we watched two or three servers bring entrees to all forty-seven people within about five minutes, one of the more impressive feats of restauranteuring I have ever seen. A fair number of restaurants don't even seem to be able to serve entrees at the same time to a table of three or four. Adding to the exceptional-ness was the fact that our waitress (didn't catch her name, but a redhead), while simultaneously helping with service at the big table, waited on our table like we were the only table there. Attentive, relaxed, super-friendly and cheerful, but not interfering or hovering. I told her that I was impressed how quickly they got the big table's food out, she said, "Well, it's only forty seven. Not that difficult, really." If you have a big group for dinner, this is your place! It was above-average loudness, requiring raised voices to hear each other. If you're looking for a quiet place, this probably is not it. The large party made it worse, but it seems like large parties might be common; there is little to absorb sound and the windows are closed due to the building design. It's good for children. We brought our six-month old with a small play-mat and set her on the floor. No one minded. An advantage of being loud is that no one notices if your child is making noise. The menu was very good with some unusual things you might not get elsewhere: we had three people, who ordered, cockerel, venison, and the vegetarian quiche respectively. Food preparation was solid but not stunning: no one was unhappy, but no one was blown away. Venison was a bit gamy, but then that's venison. Cockerel was like chicken but a bit more tender. Veggie quiche was respectable. Portions larger than average but not gigantic. Each plate had delicious sides.

    Absolutely love this place. It's right in the middle of an artsy/hippie community. Surrounded by graffiti art, music, culture. Initially walking in it seems sketchy but don't be fooled. The host was very welcoming. They served fresh homemade bread and butter. We ordered the chèvre chaud appetizer and the vegetarian entrée, both dishes were amazing. Full of flavor and plenty of food. Highly recommended

    The Guinea fowl was tender and juicy with wonderfully crispy skin

    Look: the food is not very good, it's unambitious and sloppily prepared. You can get MUCH better food in Copenhagen in this price range.

    Then my wife and I took advantage of the meat on the menu--she had the lamb, and I had the venison.

    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.

    Here are the notes I took during my recent dining experience at Uformel on my trip to CPH…read more inventive and inspiring - red wine, light, semi sweet but modest - Potato bread: crunchy crispy, lightly pan fried exterior (reminds me of a dumpling exterior but incredibly rich interior. Butter deliciously salty. If they served this with ice cream or something sweet for dessert it would be the perfect sweet/ salty combo - Hiramasa dish: light, refreshing dish. The cheese foam bottom is reminiscent of a whipped, light sour cream and adds depth to the light fish. The shaved asparagus and fingerlimes add the perfect touch of crunch and acidity - Witch flounder, so delicate and mild in flavor, the purée adds depth to this dish while the bread topped outside creates structure.I've never had such a light piece of bread topping Love the garlic dollop and radicchio topping. Every part of this dish feels intentional - Sweetbreads: perfect cook on the meat, I love the light sherry paring with this since the main part of the dish is fried. I loved the combo of pickles and caramelized onion but I'm an onion lover. (Call me shriek) Definitely a nice contrast in texture and more of a main dish than the other 2 - Lamb: the only dish that didn't nail it for me. Cooked well but Felt under seasoned and I didn't have a distinct flavor profile or direction. A bit plain and forgettable - Dessert: tangy, creamy, a great cozy way to wrap up the meal. Unique but simple in design, refreshing and zingy

    What a neat spot tucked away in the Norrebro neighborhood. It was our first dinner in Copenhagen…read moreand they did not disappoint! We order 1/2 doz if oysters to share. I ordered the moules marinieres (mussels) and my fiance ordered the fish collar. The portions were large, as I didn't expect my moules to be such a large bowl. But honestly, not a complaint! Fries, salad, all entrees were delectable. No notes. Service was friendly and in Europe, definitely not fast paced like in USA. I didn't care as we had no urgency and on vacation. What a way to start off my European trip!

    We made reservations for the opening and there were just a couple groups in line when we arrived…read more Inside was compact but good spacing between tables. Decor was bright and colorful. They served both seafood and steaks but more seafood options. There also was a 3 and 4 course option for those hungry diners. We started with a single plate of fried squid that was a good size for us to share. Most were cut into French fry like sticks which was different presentation and then fried. All pieces weee dusted with paprika and came with a side of lemon mayo for dipping. Squid had a good chew to it and a good start off to our dinner. Mussels came in a huge pot, the largest serving to date. We ended up filling two bowls with shells. The wine broth was quite delicious and the bread was perfect for dipping and soaking up that goodness. The whole seabass was another well done dish covered in greens and easy to debone. The fish was light and tender. Service was attentive. A bread service per person was added to the check. Tiny restrooms were located next to the check in desk. The restaurant was quite busy by the time we left. We finished in less than the 2 hour time allotment noted in our reservation. Would revisit should we have the opportunity to return to Copenhagen.

    I made the mistake of mapping the restaurant via Yelp, Studio had just relocated. So we got to…read moretheir old location by foot and found nothing. Dialed the restaurant and found out we were about 3 miles away and CPH only has taxis - so we had to walk back to the city center to hail one. Front of the house was so graceful about the whole ordeal - told us not to worry and to just get their safely. Truly took the burden off us! The food - let it take you on a head to tail journey. Incredibly well thought out food - locally foraged and harvested ingredients. A beautiful bounty of Scandinavian ingredients, manipulated with the utmost precision. Chef presented several of the courses - inspiring to hear the descriptions from the creator himself and he was so authentically engaged when we peppered him with questions. At the end of the night it was a bit challenging getting a taxi back - even Chef got involved in the process. The humility and graciousness, stunning. All memorable and fantastic. Wouldn't change a thing.

    This was the most underwhelming meal in Copenhagen for me. This review is a few weeks late (i…read morevisited CPH last month). The location is awesome, the staff are great and friendly. Chef Alan Bates was pretty good in conversation. But, the food just didn't hit the mark. I was there lunch time and ordered 5 course menu (they only have that for lunches, otherwise you can go for more traditional 9 course menu). The trout tart looked beautiful, didn't have much of wow factor in taste though. The pasta dish was good with ton of truffle shavings. The main meat dish was not at all there. I mean it was cooked nice but there was a side of tempura made from pig-brain if i remember correctly, and it was pretty bad!! Not fried well, was chewy and the fried batter coating got badly stuck on my teeth! Dessert was good.

    We tried visiting on a Monday evening with no reservation and the restaurant let us know they were…read morefully booked (which I was a bit surprised about). Luckily, we were able to make a reservation for dinner for the next day! There is an option to go for a la carte or a pre-fixe menu of 4-6 courses. We opted for the 4 course which had a cured haddock, mussel soup with scallop, a stuffed cockerel and dessert. I paid the supplement to upgrade the main to a Hake. Overall, the food was delicious; the ingredients tasted fresh and paired well together but nothing was mind blowing. We did think the mussel soup was a bit too salty. I particularly liked the Hake, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (I had Hake a few days prior and it was on the drier side so was a bit worried) - and particularly enjoyed it more than the cockerel! I also really liked the dessert - there were so many components to a simple looking dessert and everything was so tasty :) Service was just okay. The one thing to note is that they charge a service charge for credit card which isn't clearly stated on the menu anywhere. When we saw it on the bill and asked the waiter, she didn't seem to be fully understand it either but it is what it is

    Food was good but it was very noisy with a big group sitting beside us…read more I would enjoy more if it is not a fix course meal because we all (party of 3) got so full before the main course arrived... The first 2 courses (halibut and soup) were amazing and refreshing. The main course (my colleagues had cod and rib eyed, not pictured). My brisket was nicely cooked but nothing surprising. I tried the mushrooms on top of my colleague's rib-eye, I enjoyed the mushrooms more than the protein. Quite pricey as stated by other reviews...especially if one doesn't want mixed couse meal.
