Out of all of Copenhagen's Michelin star restaurants, Brace has one of the more reasonable chef's menus. Booking online, my friend and I reserved the "Taste of Brace," a seven course dinner for around $92 USD without a wine pairing. We ended up buying two glasses of wine each and our total bill came to $310. That's not bad for fine dining. Here's our experience:
1) Food: The seven course dinner started with two snacks- a spoon of Danish cheese and a waffle-type dish. Then the five courses commenced with hamachi with cloud berries, a cucumber rose, pasta, beef and dessert. In between the cucumber rose and pasta came a small load of warm bread with currant butter. Each dish was flawlessly presented. The winner was the dessert- bee pollen and cocoa butter mousse, seabuck thorn gel and star anise ice cream with a buckwheat tuille. It was so unique and each flavor brought out the best in the next.
2) Drinks: The women curated the wine told the story behind each wine from different parts of Italy. Not wanting to do the wine pairing, we asked her which wine would work with all the courses. She suggested an orange wine from a boutique producer and it was perfect.
3) Service: The staff were friendly, attentive and professional.
4) Space: It's near our first hotel SP34 and right near the center city. It's in a yellow house that looks more like a villa. The tables to the open kitchen concept was stunning and inviting.
If you want a Michelin experience, consider Brace.
