Kødbyens Fiskebar

Located in the city’s old meat packing district, Kødbyens Fiskebar is one of Copenhagen’s best seafood restaurants. Since its opening in 2010, the restaurant has received much critical acclaim and has earned a place on the Michelin list of recommended Copenhagen restaurants. Established by one of noma’s former sommeliers, Anders Selmer, Kødbyens Fiskebar excels in giving traditional Scandinavian seafood dishes a new twist.The restaurant prides itself on serving only the freshest seafood, caught predominantly from local fishing waters. Similarly, Kødbyens Fiskebar works directly with local suppliers to source only the best Danish produces and vegetables. The menu is updated daily, depending on the catch of the day, typically offering a selection of both cold and warm delicacies. Warm dishes include traditional fish and chips or king crab served with cauliflower, mead and wild roses, while cold dishes include delicacies such as lumpfish roe with sheep yoghurt, turnip and beetroot. The interior’s muted colours and hard surfaces gives the restaurant an edgy, industrial feel in keeping with the venue's previous life as a butcher shop. Yet the interior’s relaxed and warm atmosphere make it a perfect option for both social gatherings and a romantic meal. Kødbyens Fiskebar in Copenhagen’s old meat packing district is just a 10-minute walk from Copenhagen Central Station.
