I was told the tale of Nose2Tail by a dear friend who I regularly hang out with at PâtéPâté. An…read moreamazing restaurant in the meatpacking district that we haven't tried yet? FOR SHAME. Clearly I had to move it to the top of my To Eat list and get that one checked off, pronto.
So, now that I have sufficiently covered the Kødbyen food territory, I feel qualified to say Nose2Tail is my new favorite. The concept is brilliant (they use free-range grass-fed everything, and don't waste a single organ - clearly I'm a fan), the food is absolutely divine, the selection of wines is fantastic, and the ambiance is extremely hyggelig.
I came here on a "date" with one of my closest friends from NY and we both could not shut up about how great the food was, from start to finish.
The only drawback is that my jacket smelled like meat fat for about a week afterward. If you come here in winter, do not be tempted to hang yours by the bar where all the convenient hooks are. The entrance to the kitchen is right next to that wall, and trust me, you will regret it (even my perfume wasn't strong enough to destroy the stench).
Perfect venue for groups up to 6-8 (they may be able to accommodate more), a date, or girls night out. And as the saying goes: Eat more bacon, have more sex.
