Christianshavn

Noma is not only one of the best restaurants in Copenhagen, it has also repeatedly been named the best in the word by the reputable British magazine Restaurant. It specializes specifically in Nordic cuisine - if it's not from Scandinavia, it's not on the menu, and that includes even mundane ingredients such as olive oil or garlic, instead the chef find unique Nordic ingredients and combine them in inventive ways to create extraordinary dishes. Housed in an old brick warehouse on the water, the environs are almost as good as the food. Try the tasting menus from 700 Kr-- the things you wouldn't normally choose may well be the best. Bookings are essential, months in advance preferably.
