eating in copenhagen

Dear Sheddists,

Copenhagen offers some superb culinary experiences .. and one or two little challenges!

U Formel

First prize, undoubtedly, goes to U Formel, recommended to us by the receptionist at Hotel Alexander on the first night of our stay.

The restaurant is just around the corner and the food's so good we pay two further visits after our initial foray into its darkened recesses.

The lamb and the Danish roe-buck are spectacular, as is the magnificently seasoned beef tartare.

U Formel is clearly the place to be with smart business suits rubbing side by side with bare-armed tattooed hipsters.

Hotel breakfast

Breakfast at the hotel is ... interesting!

The organic cheese-cutter requires no little application to get going and the absence of homely marmalade we attribute to the early attrition of fellow guests from Germany. It is, however, the glazed bacon that proves the final straw.

A cloying, syrup coating applied to greasy porcine slivers does not a natural bed-fellow make!

 A cheeky ice-cream

The gardens of the Rosenburg Slot provide more refreshing fare. A welcome ice-cream beneath canvas umbrellas.

Smorgasbord

Denmark would not be Denmark without the legendary open sandwich that is smorgasbord. We sample ours at the cafe attached to the Danish Design Museum.  Works of art on a plate ...
