The three places you mention are good candidates, I would go for Kødbyens Fiskebar or Aamanns on Saturday and Manfreds on Sunday, as not many restaurants are open on Sunday. I would go to Nimb Brasserie for brunch. Nimbe Louise was restaurant Herman until March this year. But after the head chef Thomas Herman left and Allan Poulsen took over the restaurant changed the name to Nimb Louise. Let me know if you need any more help and I wish you have a great time here.

We want to Nordic, Danish or special local food. We will have one dinner in Nimb Louise. So we don't want to do another very fancy dinner.For Saturday dinner, Sunday brunch and Sunday dinner, would you recommend any of the following restaurants? Which one is good for lunch or for dinner? We don't want to have a very long brunch on Sunday, since we still want to do some sight-seeing. Kødbyens Fiskebar Manfreds Aamanns EtablissementThanks again! Hi Trine

Our first time there. We love food and culture. We booked the new Nimb Louise for Friday night. We can't find any reviews of this new place yet. So we thought we will give it a try since the chef has a good reputation. We need recommendation for Saturday night dinner and Sunday brunch and dinner. We would like to try a difference experience from Nimb Louise. A place with great food, but less fancy sitting. What would you recommend for Saturday and Sunday dinner? How about Sunday brunch - a lovely place with nice local Danish food?Thanks. Really enjoyed reading your blog. Hi Trine

Schønneman is good too but more traditional than Aamanns. Tuesday night I'd recommend Manfreds or Fiskebaren. I have not been to Marv & Ben yet but only hear good things. Agree, the turbot and ravioli dish is Geist's best. :-) cheers Hey Vagabond

Tonight (Sunday slim pickings) I ate at Geist and enjoyed the ambiance and food. Young waitstaff but good relaxed energy. I had the turbot and fennel ravioli (awesome) and the Suckling Pig with Artichokes (mouth watering) finishing with a chocolate mouse/sorbet (nice).So I have two days left in Copenhagen. What do you recommend as a follow-up? Merv and Ben was empty (does that say anything?) and I Relae, Aamaan and Geranium are booked.Current thoughts include Kiin kiin, Formel B, and Shoenneman (maybe for lunch Monday).Insights are warmly welcomed on this cold rainy day. cheers.

But hyggelig it is. You'll need to book. Then, I very much like the Europa café on Amager Torv http://europa1989.dk/?language=en it is kind of stylish but the atmosphere is nice. If it's more for a drink and hanging out I would recommend the wine bar Ved Stranden 10 they have snacks and a todays special on Monday evenings. Also, I've never been there but from out side Mormors (granny's) looks like the most hyggelige place in the city http://mormors.dk/find_os.html.Hope this helps a bit. :-) Hey Sabs,

Thank you very very much for you sweet words. :-) :-) Congrats and enjoy Noma, wow! Go for AOC, the contrast will work well I think. Take Schønnemann if Classic smørrebrød is no 1 for you or Aamanns if you fancy a more modern style ;-). Torvehallerne is nice but not near Boulevard Raspail. Hey hungry hungry hippo!

From a long-time reader of your blog - truly one of the best, Denmark or anywhere. Will be in Copenhagen for 2 full days and am lucky enough to have a Noma dinner reservation; would you go for AOC or Fiskebaren the other night? It was always going to be AOC but then thought the latter might be a better balance - or am I mistaken? Wish one of them would be open for lunch... and how do Schonnemann and Kanalcafeen compare to Aamanns? Would go for the latter except they're opening a branch here in New York. Thanks in advance!

I'd say that the 7 course menu is ok for lunch but the 12 course might be better for the evening. No prob at all with the allergie, just mention it when Noma writes you to confirm your reservation (2 weeks in advance). Hope you'll have a wonderful experience! :-) Hey Nina

Your blog is fantastic - my husband and I truly enjoy reading your posts. I had a question regarding Noma: do you have a preference between lunch and dinner? My husband and I had the good fortune of securing two reservations (one for lunch at 12:30 and the other for dinner at 19:00) and while the date of the lunch reservation would be more convenient for us, we have a track record of slowly savoring such meals and don't want to feel rushed if they close at 4 pm. Is 3.5 hrs enough time for the experience? Or is our dinner reservation a better option? Thank you in advance! Hi Trine! Your blog is fantastic – my husband and I truly enjoy reading your posts.
