Amator - Review - Copenhagen - The Infatuation

"We get it. You feel guilty “wasting” a meal on an omelet when you could be eating at Noma. Ordinarily we’d be right there with you, but not when it comes to Amator. This sunny restaurant tucked behind a yellow awning on a busy street in Østerbro serves the antidote to haute cuisine: eggs. There are a few non-egg related things on the menu, such as a crisp green salad and sourdough bread slathered with butter, but the main reason you’re here is for omelettes. From behind a small counter, the owner whips up perfect omelettes on two hot plates, while jazzy beats play from the speaker. The cacio e pepe omelette, made with black pepper and grana padano, is our personal favorite. The slick interior design is a draw, too—fabric wall hangings next to a sequence of wooden tables and stools arranged like a long communal dining surface, all custom-designed by the Polish Wierciński‑Studio." - Mary Holland
