If you follow me on Instagram then you know via my Stories I’ve been extremely busy the past few weeks. Besides helping to organize a conference for 1200 people at work in my free time, work at my full time job (which is how I afford my dining out) ramped up, and then last week I was on vacation in Copenhagen! While abroad I visited many spots involved with art or food. The first I’m going to share with you is Restaurant Krebsegaarden.
Restaurant Krebsegaarden is a small restaurant with only 9-10 tables in a little building from 1803- the bathroom are down the stairs, no elevator in this cozy house like setting. They restaurant serves dinner only, and its menu is often inspired by the rotation of art and artists that is displayed on its walls as its other role as an art gallery. During my visit it was the works of Tomas Abrahamsson, who has exhibited with them since 1996.
The menu is limited with 3 starters, 3 mains, and 4 desserts available, but the most popular choice is the Tasting Menu in which smaller portions of those starters and mains are served so you can try multiple dishes. In my case, I opted for 2 starters, 2 mains, and the famous cheese plate dessert that was the biggest draw for me personally for this restaurant. I also opted for wine pairings with the courses, but asked for half glass pours since I was out on my own and wanted to responsibly make it back to my hotel ok. Homemade soft warm bread with butter and a sparkling Naveran Cava Blanc de Blancs Brut Especial was an excellent start. Seriously bread in Europe is soooo good!
