Apollo Bar & Kantine | Bon Appétit

"GO HERE: to see what the super stylish Café Atelier September folks did for their encore. (Hint: It’s even cooler than their Insta-favorite a few minutes away.) Anchored near the modern art museum right off the touristy Nyhavn canal, Apollo offers a well-edited menu with several ways to enjoy some of the best bread in town, whether it’s with whipped butter or mascarpone. ORDER THE: Comté with bread; ricotta with olive oil and berries; ceviche of the day; and matcha-dusted “Kermit cake.” Natural wines, cocktails, healthy juices, matcha (no lattes, thanks), and house-made shrubs round out the drinks. THE VIBE IS: student art league clubhouse in early ‘60s Eastern Europe, from the life-size classical sculptures to the paint-encrusted chairs. Diners range from Café Atelier September regulars to befuddled museum tourists. And come summer, the courtyard seating is the place to be. Make sure to shop the bookstore and, if you’re really lucky, you’ll be there for the monthly flea market! PRACTICAL STUFF: Open Tuesday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Wednesday to Friday, 8 a.m. to midnight; Saturday, 10 a.m. to midnight; and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed Monday. Book online, just to be safe. —Christine Muhlke" - Condé Nast
