Restaurant Aure — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

Aure is dishing out 3* service, 2+ food, at 1 prices, all while being open for less than two years.

One of the most memorable 1* experiences of my life. Let’s start with food. This restaurant does such good exploration of flavor. When I ate their langoustine it felt like I was eating it for the first time. Their melon dessert tasted more like a melon than just eating a straight melon. The respect of the ingredients is inspiring, to say the least. The use of fresh herbs, flowers, etc made some dishes evolve with each chew — as you bite into an edible flower or leaf, punchy herbaceous flavors explode in your mouth. Or you bit into a small piece of pickled daikon, providing an exciting sweet-sour splash on a super savory bite. Seriously, I can hardly pick a favorite dish.

And the service? This meets or exceeds every single 3* I have been to. Singlethread, Alinea, Per Se, you name it. Every single person I spoke to was warm, welcoming, friendly, funny, informative, curious, and all in all kind hosts.

The music choice? Amazing. Wines? Incredible representation of French terroir. I could keep going on but I think I’d stay here writing forever. If I had to give this place any critiques, it would have to be against a standard that even the best restaurants in the world would have trouble consistently hitting.

Visit while you can still get a reservation — Nicky and Emma are gunning for excellence in a city full of it, and they’re not just succeeding,...

Wonderful food and building, but dissappointing service and noisy/roudy guests drinking a lot. Perhaps consider another Michelin star restaurant instead?

The building is amazing - although there are no signs nor parking when you arrive. The food was really good - and 3 of the dishes absolutely fantastic ! 😊 ... who knew that a mini fajitas could taste THAT good. Absolutely fabulous. Unfortunately the overall experience and the service were well below standard. The staff did not say "enjoy your meal" even once. Nor did they ever ask if we enjoyed any of the servings. And when we needed to pay, we almost had to get up and go search for a waiter, as everyone seemed to have left the dining space, and were all temporarily talking with the kitchen staff. This was at the end of the evening. Also the food was presented very nicely. Unfortunately we could not hear it with most of the dishes, as we were seated in the vicinity of a very loud table with 6 men drinking a lot of wine and alcohol, which made them more and more roudy, as the evening progressed. We loved the food and the building - but we were dissappointed with the service and the overall experience/ambience. We would not return, but choose another Michelin star...

We visited in February 2025 with high expectations as it was one of the newest Michelin ⭐️ restaurants in Copenhagen.

Truth be told neither the chef nor the restaurant meet our expectations and we will not recommend it to the “foodies of the world”

It kind of went wrong for them from the get-go!

We had booked a 6pm seating and when we arrived at 5:50pm the front door was locked and several other guests were standing outside in the cold wondering if they were at the right place!

At exactly 6pm the front door was finally unlocked and we were graciously let in to a very disorganized coat check!

The restaurant was 70% empty and they had still not managed to honor our seating request communicated in advance. Only once we insisted did the requested seating take place.

The menu was all over the place and had no point of view and there were so many competing flavors that we simply lost interest.

We will not be back and we will not be giving out recommendations -...
