Beverages
On our wine list, you'll find specially selected bottles in the price range of 350 to 500 Danish kroner. We adore classic wines with personality, just as we prepare our food. On the menu, you'll discover both old and new producers, and sometimes we even have natural wines. We're also happy to pour you a generous glass if you don't want to commit to a whole bottle. Anything you don't find on the menu, we can search for in the cellar. We have a stock of excellent bottles for those of you looking for something different.
For those with a thirst for beer, we always have a wide selection on tap and in bottles. Our ten taps change with the season and our mood, and you can quench your thirst with beers from breweries like Mikkeller, Hornbeer, and local breweries like Amager Bryghus and Nørrebro Bryghus. We also have non-alcoholic beer available, with prices varying.
We make our own schnapps from scratch. See our schnapps menu here.
