Aoc

"Flanked by private members’ clubs, the 17th-century Moltkes Palæ sits in a quiet street close to Amalienborg Palace. Within its vaulted basement sits a|o|c, whose elegant, sophisticated design takes in handcrafted oak and leather chairs, soft designer lighting and a tasteful piano soundtrack. There’s a long bar for snacks, a cosy lounge for petits fours and, as befits a restaurant founded by a sommelier, an impressively stocked glass wine cellar. Finely wrought dishes showcase top-quality ingredients and come with subtle global touches, such as in the razor clam with kosho or scallop with wasabi and tare." - Michelin Inspector

"Simplicity Done Right AOC takes a New Nordic–inspired elemental approach to food. Ingredients are sourced locally with a focus on maximizing the complete experience, which includes rich colors, presentation, smells, and flavor. The restaurant is small, with room for roughly 45 people and located in the cellar of a 17th-century building. The design is simple and clean, and it avoids anything that might distract from the food. The restaurant has been awarded a Michelin star. Photo: cyclonebill (flickr)"

"Hidden in the basement of a beautiful brick building, AOC isn't a restaurant that's obvious from the street. Inside, the space has a bright, white vaulted ceiling and a cool atmosphere with an array of round tables dressed in stiff white linens. Oh, and did we mention this place has two Michelin stars? Yep, that's right: This is where you come to sample some of Copenhagen's finest haute cuisine:. Each tiny dish is carefully curated by chef Søren Selin using Nordic ingredients. It's fancy, fussy, and oh-so-good." - Mary Holland
