Apollo Bar & Kantine, København K, Copenhagen, Denmark - Restaurant Review | Condé Nast Traveler
"Where will we find this spot? Tucked into the courtyard of the historic Kunsthal Charlottenborg, the exhibition gallery at the Royal Danish Academy of Art, Apollo Bar & Kantine is a hidden Copenhagen treasure. The interior has soaring ceilings and great Danish design elements, including Poul Henningsen lights, as well as plaster-cast statues from the surrounding museum. Who else has made their way here? Locals and students from the Royal Danish Academy grabbing lunch. What's on offer at the bar? Interesting non-alcoholic drinks (think: coffee berry skins with tonic and rose) and funky wines. What about the food menu? Anything especially notable? This daytime cafe and bar offers uncomplicated dishes (soups, salads, stews) that may seem simple, but prove seriously big on flavor. Daily lunch specials attract the nearby students; there's also breakfast, dinner—homemade spaghetti, grilled octopus with chimichurri—and teatime treats (don't miss the lemon meringue pie). How are the staff members? Good—friendly and efficient. What's your recommendation for an outing to Apollo? A quick morning pastry or a long, lazy lunch with friends—preferably outside in the courtyard." - Mary Holland
