Baka d' Busk

Our Airbnb host recommended Baka d’ Busk while we were in Copenhagen for two weeks, and I’m so glad we went. Tucked away in the cool Nørrebro neighbourhood, this place instantly feels like a local gem; relaxed, creative, and full of good energy. The owners have such a beautiful philosophy around food everything is grown with care, sourced locally, and celebrated for its natural flavour. You can tell how much heart they put into every dish, and the menu really lets organic seasonal vegetables and fruits take the spotlight. The food was incredible!! So fresh, full of texture and flavour, and the service was just lovely. My belly was so full and happy as the sun kissed our skin. I eat tomatoes all the time and absolutely love them. When i tasted the Danish tomatoes with hazelnut cream, shiso leaves and raspberries- This dish completely blew me away! Other highlights were the new potatoes with sorrel, cabbage, and yuzu beurre blanc, carrots, dill, white asparagus, green beans and spinach purée- YUMMY and the pickled radish with sweet nuts and honey — absolutely wow! Baka d’ Busk makes vegetables sing. I love how they prove that plant based dining can be exciting, comforting and deeply satisfying. When in Copenhagen, do yourself a favour and put this one high on your list!

I would give this restaurant 6 stars if I could, I loved it before even tasting the food. The decoration is cozy and PERSONAL it doesn’t look like 90% of the restaurants you go to in every european capital, they have their own personality, there was color and LIFE. The wine list was impeccable, not too pretentious but at the same time not basic or obvious at all. Our waiter was absolutely lovely, spoke perfect Spanish and his suggestions were wonderful. The food was spectacular, it is so refreshing to go to a vegetarian restaurant and eat food that is not pretending to be other food. Every ingredient was cooked to perfection, great technique and amazing flavors layered with intention. Also, best rice pudding i’ve had in my life, period. I can’t wait to go back!!! a restaurant that truly excites.

Baka d’Busk has been on my “have to eat here soon” list on Google Maps for quite some time. The reason is simple: it’s vegetarian. The thing about vegetarian or vegan food in general is that if you really nail it, you must be an incredible chef. So many dishes normally start with meat. People usually build their meal around the protein. Here, that’s obviously not the case, which is exactly why I wanted to try it. I do eat meat, but I don’t really care if a meal is vegetarian or not. And to be honest, Baka d’Busk has probably become one of my favorite restaurants. I was there with a friend. The exterior is a bit unusual and not that easy to spot, but if you’re biking past and see the plants and the beets outside, you kind of realize that this must be the place. When you walk in, you enter a dim but beautifully designed room. Not dark in a bad way, but very carefully lit. The lighting design here is really well done. From the moment you walk into the back part of the restaurant, you feel taken care of. At the back there’s an open kitchen, which was great to see. Another thing I noticed was that almost every staff member greeted us. Normally that might feel a bit strange, but here it felt very genuine. Our waiter was very relaxed and recommended that we order two snacks, two entrées, and one main dish to share. We followed his suggestion. For snacks we had the bread with tahini and the kimchi. The bread was beautiful. Really solid, well made, and the tahini with the toppings was absolutely delicious. Nothing to complain about there. The kimchi, however, was one of the best kimchis I’ve ever had. For some people it might be too spicy, but for me it was perfect. If I come back here, I’m ordering that again. Then we had the Grillet Beder (radicchio, black tahini, dukkah, chutney, black pepper sauce) and the Cajun-style choux fleur fritto (bbq, blue cheese). Both dishes were honestly incredible. The Cajun-style dish is clearly a playful take on something like fried chicken, and it really worked. Everything was well seasoned and well cooked. The blue cheese dressing on the side was amazing. There were also pickled vegetables that were very light and fresh. But the highlight of the evening for me was the Grillet Beder. The sauce at the bottom of the dish was incredibly complex and flavorful. I absolutely love beets, and this dish really delivered. I would honestly come back just for this one dish. We ended up sitting there for a long time. Our table was technically reserved for 1 hour and 45 minutes, but we stayed for around 3.5 hours and nobody bothered us. The atmosphere was cozy, relaxed, and just really pleasant. For the main dish we had the Bouillie Verde (broccoli, seeds, parsley, spinach, lentils, scorzonera, cedrat). This was the only dish that didn’t completely work for me. By that point I was already a bit full, but even so it felt a bit mid compared to the other dishes. It felt like a mix of green vegetables that didn’t quite come together in the same complex way as the earlier plates. If the color green were a dish, this would be it. Not bad, just a bit too simple compared to how impressive the other dishes were. Next time I’ll definitely try a different main. That being said, this is a wonderful restaurant. Big recommendation from me, and I will absolutely be coming back.

Most of the food was good. Avoid the truffles. They do not know how to work with truffles. They use them as decorations without infusion. Also they charged me kr 60 for tap water and claimed it was for filtering and serving water. They did take if off the bill when i expressed intense displeasure. Then they added a 10% tip when that isn’t the danish system. I felt cheated and it took away from the food actually being good. That said, the food was very tasty. A treat for the eyes and the palate. Stay away from the truffles! The baked cauliflower was nothing special. The beets on the porridge were great despite the name! The baby artichokes on a bed of pistachio cream sauce were my favorite. They have a faulty door that doesn’t shut so dont sit at the entrance especially in winter.

Absolutely unreal, who knew vegetables could taste so good. Lovely staff and service, very busy and noisy environment, but it lifts up the mood instead of draining it. And the meringue dessert... I could eat it every day

Vegetarian food at its best ! Baka da’Busk is a real gem in Copenhagen. The food was not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes, full of colors, creativity and flavor. The wine selection was spot on and paired beautifully with the dishes. The vibe of the place was fantastic with a relaxed and effortless flow to the service that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Bonus points for the great music selection that completed the atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back !

It was truly food dancing in my mouth as the tastes are surprisingly good! Definitely a recommendation if you like to have a good vegan experience. The staff is friendly and very professional. All the cutlery and plates, glasses are different. Circularity is definitely important :)

Super cozy restaurant with inovative/intriguiging pallet combinations and a lovely, attentive staff. Our waitress was Lyne (sorry if I spelt your name wrong 😅) who explained us all the menu options, her favourites since we didnt speak Danish and was always there to help. Definitely a non-touristy place we will be coming back to ✨.
