The Best Restaurants And Hotels In Copenhagen
"Legend has it that a diner with a serious seafood allergy once accidentally booked a table at NOMA during seafood season. Upon realizing the error, the NOMA team summoned one of Barr’s infamous pork schnitzels for the guest, who greatly enjoyed their meal and evening. While this tale can be neither confirmed nor denied, the evening-saving properties of Barr’s schnitzel are 100% accurate. Served with lashings of brown butter and capers, it’s a dish worthy of repeat visits, no matter how long you’re visiting for. Barr is also a prime lunch spot, with an outdoor terrace that looks out onto Copenhagen’s waterfront, and the perfect way to try smørrebrød – Denmark’s famous open-faced sandwiches. Inside the wood-paneled restaurant, there’s a beer bar with 10 taps and many bottles sourced from local craft brewers. But to be frank, make sure to try some herby aquavit too. Pinch your nose, knock it back, and think of the schnitzel to come." - sorcha mccrory
