2 Best Restaurants in Copenhagen, Denmark

This lively eatery, which looks exactly like your favorite brasserie in Paris, is the place to go for French dishes. Its accomplished chef and owner, Mikkel Egelund, satisfies with classics like entrecote with béarnaise and crispy fries, moules marinière (mussels steamed in white wine and herbs), or salade niçoise. Also good is the plateau de fruits de mer (a platter of "fruit" of the sea), with lobster, oysters, and shrimp. Enjoy a predinner drink at the brass bar or have after-dinner coffee or a cognac on the patio. The restaurant has an a la carte menu for lunch and dinner, and a three-course dinner prix fixe for DKr 375.

The food at this centrally located restaurant is delicious and unpretentious, and the service is friendly. Decked out in dark wood and concrete, the dining room here is stylish in an understated way. Pluto is owned by the same people who run Retour and Gorilla—establishments that are also worth a visit.
