I could probably come up with a million reasons why Paté Paté is one of my fav places in CPH.
First of all, like all the other restaurants in this "chain" (ie, Falernum, Adendum, etc), their motto is: For the Love of Food and Wine.
When I first discovered this place, I can't tell you how excited I was to read those beautiful words, faded on a chalkboard, in the late and chilly autumn of last year. "These are my people", I instantly thought.
True story.
The food is great. They offer a well thought-out, constantly changing menu that follows the seasons, a variety of different selections of French inspired staples, and that rustic environment that goes so well with comfort French food.
They have a fantastic variety of wines from all over the world, most notably some excellent pinots from California, up and coming rustic reds from Chile, and a killer Rose from my home state (Washington): Charles & Charles. Obviously there are also plenty of French and Italian wines to chose from as well, if you prefer to stick with the classics.
This place brings me back to my foodie and wino NYC roots in ways that no other place in Copenhagen has done yet.
The hygge is pumping on Friday and Saturday [late] nights when they bring out DJs, and there is minimal, albeit strangely inviting, space for impromptu [chair] dance parties. Occasionally the crowd gets a little pretentious, which is slightly obnoxious, but to be expected and tolerated, as it undoubtedly goes with the Kødbyen territory.
Overall, not to be missed.
