Admiralgade 26

Just around the corner from Hotel Herman K and across the canal from Christiansborg, this unassuming spot offers truly memorable dishes. The décor is simple, and the space feels like a laidback coffee shop or the home of a local bookworm (piles of books are placed artfully along the walls and shelves), but the wine list is extensive, and the clientele is young and in-the-know. The owners also manage a small wine bar at the other end of the block along the water, Ved Stranden 10, which pairs nicely with Admiralgade 26 for an intimate drink before or after dinner.
