This small restaurant is truly a gem. It is found on one of the oldest streets in Copenhagen. There is a banner with the restaurant name hanging above the door, so it is easy to spot on Snaregade 4.

You enter along side the kitchen, which is separated by a glass wall. Very nice touch! The downstairs dining room is small, maybe 8 tables, so it has an intimate feel. There is a slightly larger dining room upstairs. The walls are painted with large pine branches, and the entire place feels quite cozy. The menu changes seasonally, and everything is locally sourced.

The food here is fantastic, and the staff are wonderful. We started with cocktails, which were quite interesting. Mine had a tarragon infused gin and absinthe - served martini style. My husband had the cocktail with aquavit and a plum flavored liquor. Both were original and lovely.

You can either dine on 4 or 6 courses. We opted for the 6 course meal. The starting dish was scallops, served cold with what they described as cabbage and white asparagus. It was way more interesting and complex than that. The entire dish was just lovely, bright and flavorful!

They also serve the most delicious sour dough bread made in house and served with butter. So good!

The second course was thinly sliced and very tender local squid, served topped with a sauteed slice of vegetable and topped with crisply lardo. This dish is sensational!!!

The next dish was served cold: yellow beets topped with local cheese, pine nuts, grains, and topped with a cheesy foamy sauce containing trout roe. The flavors were complex, with each bite bringing up a different combination of all these flavors.

The first meat course was beef tartare, that had finely minced sun-dried tomatoes in it. It was topped with something crispy, which added a nice contrast to the tartare. This was really a wonderful riff on this dish - it had a lot of flavor.

The main course of the dinner was tender slices of deer meat, served along side spinach, and a caramelized onion sitting in a bed of sauce. They topped the meat table side with a wonderful somewhat fruity but deeply flavored sauce. This was sensational.

I highly recommend the wine pairing. The choices were incredibly interesting, and the pours were actually of sufficient size to accompany your food.

Dessert was fairly simple: local pears marinated to soften them, and served with a crumble and a delicious cardamom ice cream made in house. It was a lovely finale to a perfect meal.

I cannot say enough nice things about the staff. They knew a lot about the food and wine, and the entire evening had the feel of dining with friends. I cannot recommend this place more highly.

Be sure to make a reservation. The place was full on a Monday. You won't get a seat if you just walk in.
