Chef Bo Bech's bistro: a la carte, seafood, steaks, fries
"In a cobbled city centre square stands this attractive townhouse that's now in the hands of Danish celebrity chef, Bo Bech. His simply decorated contemporary bistro offers reasonable pricing and plenty of flexibility on an extensive à la carte menu. There's strong cooking and great produce across the board, but those with a sweet tooth should keep their eye out for the cheesecake with smoked maple syrup. A wine bar in the basement provides ample opportunity to extend your visit." - Michelin Inspector
"Bobe’s sharp Scandi-style dining room, with its intricate pressed ceilings and paneled walls, screams “fussy tasting menu.” But it’s actually just a bistro that’s been all dressed up. There are plenty of upmarket dishes, plus simple, down-to-earth plates with fancy flashes, like a homey agnolotti served with charred eggplant and tomato water, or fries sprinkled with fennel pollen. Unlike a lot of other New Nordic restaurants in the city, the menu here is a la carte, so you can stop by for ribeye with fries (and chestnut sauce!) and a glass of gamay. Or, you could make a night of it and order The Taste of Bobe: four dishes for a set price." - mary holland

"After leaving his hyped minimalistic restaurant Geist back in 2020, chef Bo Bech toured the world doing pop-ups before settling back in Copenhagen to much fanfare. Bobe is set in the former home of smørrebrød restaurant Peder Oxe on Gråbrødretorv square. As you ascend to the restaurant, you’ll find a maze of rooms and an open kitchen, where it’s not uncommon to see Bech himself on the pass. At first, the chef wouldn’t serve any classics from Geist, but public demand got the best of him, so you may see famed dishes like thin-sliced avocado with caviar and almond oil or raw langoustine with yuzu and hibiscus. Other dishes on the a la carte and tasting menus follow seasonal produce while speaking their own casual-yet-sophisticated Bo-esque language, earning the restaurant a Bib Gourmand award. Head sommelier Ottavio Saglam serves up a mix of new natural wines and classic bottles." - Anna Norström
