Each ingredient is selected and presented with care at formel B.
Copenhagen is home to a wide range of inviting restaurants where comfort, flavour and atmosphere come together effortlessly.
Palægade 8, 1261 København
Restaurant Palægade
Located on one of Copenhagen's oldest streets, Restaurant Palægade welcomes guests into an environment where the senses are awakened through materials and textures. The restaurant is particularly known for its open sandwiches (smørrebrød), where Danish classics are elevated to new heights and presented with a strong focus on visual expression.
Earthy tones meet patinated brass, while glassware catches the light throughout the space. Following a fire a few years ago, Palægade was carefully rebuilt with deep respect for the restaurant's original expression and architecture. Today, carefully selected design classics once again frame a space where Danish design, tradition and gastronomy come together with ease.
At Restaurant Palægade, classic gastronomy meets innovation in elegant surroundings.
At formel B, Nordic gastronomy and Danish design go hand in hand in intimate, elegant surroundings.
Vesterbrogade 184, 1800 Frederiksberg
formel B
Located on the edge between the Vesterbro and Frederiksberg neighbourhoods, formel B is a Michelin-starred restaurant where seasonal ingredients, refined techniques and inventive flavour combinations take centre stage. The cuisine draws on Nordic traditions while moving freely and playfully, resulting in dishes that are both precise and expressive. A restrained presentation allows the quality of the ingredients and the craftsmanship behind each dish to shine through.
When guests take their seats at formel B, they do so in some of Finn Juhl's most iconic designs: the Egyptian Chair from 1949 and the 46 Chair from 1946. The interior is at once understated and exclusive, with warm tones, carefully selected details and soft lighting creating an intimate and tranquil setting for the meal.
Apéro occupies a 290-year-old building in the heart of Copenhagen, bringing a contemporary spirit to a setting steeped in history.
Gammel Mønt 41, 1117 København
Apéro
In the heart of Copenhagen, Apéro is a wine and cocktail bar defined by understated extravagance. The name draws on the French tradition of l'apéro – the relaxed ritual of gathering over a drink and a small bite before dinner. At Apéro, that tradition is given a more indulgent twist: guests can drop in for a glass of wine, a cocktail and a bite, or settle in for a longer meal. The menu balances the playful with the luxurious, with dishes such as chicken and waffles with vanilla syrup and caviar, or tagliatelle with morels and truffle.
Apéro is small, yet elegant and atmospheric. From the moment you step through the green door and make your way up the stairs, there is an immediate sense of warmth, inviting you to linger. The space is furnished with contemporary art and iconic pieces such as the Whisky Chair, Egyptian Chair and Butterfly Table, creating a setting that feels both considered and relaxed.
The upper room at Apéro offers an intimate lounge setting designed for lingering over refined small plates.
At Sushi Anaba, Edomae sushi is served piece by piece to just 14 guests seated at the counter.
Mariehamngade 23, 2150 København
Sushi Anaba
At the tip of Redmolen in Nordhavn, Sushi Anaba brings Japanese tradition and Nordic refinement together in an intimate setting. In the small sushi-ya, with just 14 seats led by Head Chef Mads Battefeld, guests experience the art of Edomae sushi – a traditional style rooted in Tokyo, where rice, fish, soy and wasabi are treated with precision and restraint. Ingredients undergo processes such as ageing and marinating, carefully prepared before each piece is served directly from the chef's hand. The result is a refined take on sushi that transforms familiar ingredients into something altogether more nuanced.
The carefully selected furniture in the lounge area blends effortlessly with the minimalist surroundings, capturing the dialogue between Japan and Denmark that defines the restaurant's atmosphere.
Krogs Fiskerestaurant
The history of Krogs Fiskerestaurant dates back more than 115 years, to a time when fishmongers sold the day's catch directly from the quayside at Gammel Strand. This year, the restaurant embarked on a new chapter with an extensive renovation, breathing new life into its interiors while showing great respect for the original architecture and the details that give the restaurant its distinctive character.
The same respect for tradition defines the kitchen. The finest ingredients from the sea remain at the heart of the menu, while classic culinary craftsmanship is combined with a contemporary gastronomic expression. The menu follows the changing seasons, bringing Nordic flavors together with French finesse.
Location: Gammel Strand 38, 1202 København
Krogs Fiskerestaurant is one of Copenhagen's oldest and most charming restaurants, with historic interiors that were thoughtfully refurbished in 2026.
At Uformel, the cuisine draws inspiration from around the world while remaining rooted in Nordic traditions, complemented by an extensive and diverse wine list.
Studiestræde 69, 1554 København
Uformel
At Formel B's free-spirited little brother, Uformel, you won't find starched tablecloths or stiff formalities. Instead, a large wall of vibrant graffiti art sets the tone, and guests are greeted by the open kitchen, where the buzz of chefs at work becomes part of the lively ambiance.
Here, flavors take center stage, showcasing a clean, deep taste supported by high-quality ingredients and precise craftsmanship-hallmarks also found at Formel B. What sets Uformel apart, however, is its subtle Eastern influences. While the dishes often have a classic foundation, they are not bound by rigid conventions or dogma.

Strandgade 93, 1401 København

The restaurant's interior has recently undergone a transformation, creating a welcoming setting for both intimate gatherings and lively dinners around long communal tables. The spaces reflect the building's maritime heritage, where raw stone walls and original ceiling beams meet warm oak floors, with natural wood bringing a sense of warmth and continuity throughout.
