"Wander into Ancestrale's tiny space, which is flecked with gorgeous pieces of Danish furniture, and you'll feel like you've wandered into someone's (truly amazing) home. Ancestrale is first and foremost a wine bar; all the wines hail from Europe, and most are natural, organic, or biodynamic. Come for a glass or two, but be sure to stay for the food. A small, vegetable-focused menu features five great dishes that change almost monthly." - Mary Holland

Ancestrale | Bon Appétit

"GO HERE: for affordable bites and natural wine from a trio of young industry vets (108 and Studio) in a tiny space in a trendy neighborhood. ORDER THE: bread and cheese; potatoes with smoked hay powder; and bottles from from underground wine heroes like Gut Oggau, Frank Cornelissen, and Matassa. (There’s no wine list; choose a bottle from the back room or ask them for a glass of whatever’s open.) Each dish is ranges from $11 to $20—or order all from the very abbreviated weekly changing menu for $55—and there’s a daily happy hour, which offers a flight of three glasses for $16. After just a day in Copenhagen, this will feel miraculous. THE VIBE IS: candlelit Danish living room. PRACTICAL STUFF: Open Monday to Thursday, from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, from 4 p.m. to midnight. Closed Sunday. —Christine Muhlke" - Condé Nast

We have just come back from the most wonderful experience at Ancestrale. We just stumbled across this beautiful wine bar on our way back from dinner in Vesterbro and were immediately drawn by the cosy atmosphere inside. The staff were wonderful - our waitress was highly knowledgeable and very friendly and welcoming. The interior was cosy and intimate, just what you need on a cold evening. We had a beautiful natural red wine by Nathalie Banes, another aspect that made this experience extra special - is that they try to stock many small independent producers. I would highly recommend this bar to anyone. The only critique I could give is that it would have been nice if there were some little complementary nibbles on the table to eat with our wine. However, overall a beautiful experience

We had a wonderful and truly special evening at Ancestrale. The small guest room made us feel at home, and the Ancestrale team made sure that all our wishes were granted. The menu was out of this world — there were so many little details that made it exciting and delicious. The wine pairing was also well thought out and the selection of wines was perfect. I would highly recommend this place — it definitely deserves a 5/5 star rating!

Ancestrale is such a cute cozy local place tucked away from the busy street. Amazing selection of wine, super lovely service and the FOOD. Local ingredients, great taste and a lovely twist of flavour. It’s an amazing place for both menu dinner and just a nice chat over a glass of wine. Visited couple of times and always had the best time. Really really recommending.

Impeccable fermented food with great natural wine. The waiter was great and friendly, it's the speed of service that was unacceptable. Our 5 course menu took nearly 3 hours to complete which is just too slow for me personally.

The food was good and really well presented but for quality/price ratio i consider it low . Too high price for what you get in terms of nutritional balance and flavor

An elegant place with delicious food, great service and a good wine list. The fish was sooooo good, melted in my mouth!

Simple and tasty, this cozy restaurant is worth a visit. The service was great and our waiter really knew her wines (all of which are natural). We did wait quite a bit for the main but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.

They have a strict concept of local fish and veg in season. The current chef with no professional training is a master of textures and flavours. The wine selection is very carefully curated. 5 servings and accompanying wines will set you back 900 dkk, which is a bargain for the level of deliciousness you get! Cosy place too.

My husband and I stopped in for an after dinner drink and ended up ordering a bottle of wine. I didn't realize that the wine bar specializes in organic, natural wines. My husband and I prefer old world, complex red wines which is the complete opposite focus at Ancestrale, but luckily we were recommended an excellent Italian red wine. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and appreciated that we were allowed to bring our toddler. Highly recommend the cheese and brown butter appetizer.
