A TINY place with rather cramped seating – not just the 2-top we occupied, which was squeezed into a corner with absolutely zero space to move my chair. Cozy!
Service was young, friendly, and swift. We opted for the 5 shared courses, which seemed to be the best deal & we didn’t have to make any choices. We shared a reasonably priced Riesling and a decent Blauer Portugieser with our meal.
After the obligatory bread & olive oil (both good) the meal started off strong with a stunning mosaic of cured cod, leek emulsion and shiso, the fish subtle and tender.
Then the chef came out to explain the next dish: he had dehydrated, then rehydrated carrots, made a carrot sauce & served it all with heavy cream and habanero chili. It was a’ight. He probably coulda just poached the carrots to achieve a similar texture, and – while the habanero provided a pleasant tingle of heat in a cuisine that rarely provides it, I really don’t care for carrot sauce at all (once as a child staying over at a friend’s house, I poured a glass of that stuff & took a big swig, mistaking it for multivitamin juice of the same neon-bright orange color #traumatizedforlifeyo).
Next up: tartare, also very good. This had crispy rye bread and an abundance of radishes, which gave it a nice bite.
The fourth course was the ever-present and always welcome white asparagus – tis the season, after all. Two very al dente stalks with lovage blanquette and ramps.
It’s not a new trend to serve white asparagus barely cooked, and I don’t care for it. The sauces were tasty, however. Those Danes really know how to sauce things up deliciously.
We were pretty full at this point & had also miscounted the courses, thinking the ‘sparagi were the final one, but along came another plate: turbot, crispy sourdough, beluga lentils, and more cream. It was all good but we couldn’t finish the plate: cream overload.
All in all a very...
