The Pescatarian

We had dinner at two different places during the course of our trip to Copenhagen both places specialized on seafood and vegetarian options. This was the first place that we ate at. It is a Michelin rated restaurant and the restaurant group has several Michelin rated restaurants and several other highly rated restaurants. The decor is lovely. It's a wonderful place for a quiet evening. The food was exceptional. The service was great. I doubt that I'm letting the cat out of the bag, but I highly recommend. To the people at the pescatarian thank you for a lovely Christmas dinner.

I was lucky enough to enjoy the six-course new years eve dinner, which was outstanding. Every single course was a small piece of art, and both taste and texture were of highest quality. It was (of course) mostly fish/seafood, but not only. The truffle filled morels were my personal favourite. Also worth a mention is the bread, which was also outstandingly good. The service was very attentive and friendly, the atmosphere was lively, but not too loud to have a conversation. So i'll rate three times five stars. Will definitely come back.

We came here for Christmas Day dinner and they served only set-menu on that day. We were impressed from the get go with the nice ambience, warm and attentive services. The first entre we had was the bread and it was out of the world, followed by oysters 🦪 which were super fresh. Size wise more on the smaller side. Then we took the 6-course menu for the occasion. First dish was refreshing. The second to 5th dish were also good but unfortunately way too salty for my liking. It really took the experience away by the end of the course and thus I had to give one star less. Luckily the dessert was alright with their homemade vanilla ice cream although the base - salted caramel waffle which was again really salty.

Fantastic dinner! Two tasting menu options. The 4 course is great! I had a spot by the window and could watch the 🌎 go by... Great wines! Located in a cool part of town.

The white fish with morels was ✨heaven✨. Amazing oysters, lobster, and the chanterelles dish. The service was also attentive and quick. The only dish I didn’t like was the signature onion tarte.

Exquisite food, attentive service, and a calm, understated atmosphere. The presentation and manner of serving the dishes are truly impressive. Although the service is slightly slow, it is well worth the wait. Highly recommended.

Wonderful food - each dish was unique and the flavours complemented one another. The service was impeccable too! High recommend.

Of the two similarly priced restaurants we tried in Copenhagen, this one was our clear favorite. While it doesn’t offer much in terms of views—tucked away in a basement on a quiet side street—the focus here is firmly on the food, and rightfully so. Sauces take center stage, with nearly every dish finished tableside with a pour from a saucepan. Each course was excellent, but the standout highlights were the rich crab bisque and the inventive three-ways-with-rhubarb dessert. Our total came to around £250, which covered the six-course tasting menu, two glasses of wine, and a cocktail.

When in Copenhagen you will find many Michelin stars and most will feature a vast tasting menu which must be followed strictly. And you should expect 2-3 hours for the experience. Pescatarian is more what I like. They have what they call the fast 4. Four courses that hit all the key points and can be done with wine pairing to the courses or not. Delicious. Main dish was flounder and it was superb--as was the onion tart and the Langoustine carpaccio with teenie tiny tomatoes. The dessert was a pretty as it was tasty. You can make this as big or as small as you wish. We started with the fried Normandy Oysters and selected wines by the glass as our way of choice. This is a great spot with beautiful walking areas nearby. Very close to the water. The walk to the restaurant brings you near many amazing buildings.

During our last day in Copenhagen we at lunch at the Pescatarian sister restaurant. A patron highly recommended that we have dinner there so we decided to give it a try. The maitre de got us a 7:00 reservation. We opted for the six course dinner with wine pairings. Every course was outstanding, and the wait staff explained everything we were about to eat. Our only complaint was some of the wine selections were underwhelming. Otherwise it was a wonderful experience.

Dining at The Pescatarian was an unforgettable experience. The service was attentive and made sure every detail was perfect. We started with 6 oysters prepared differently - excellent. Then ordered the chefs choice with 6 courses. Each was a masterpiece. So fresh, flavorful, and carefully prepared. The bread alone was enough to make me fall in love. I joked with the staff how amazing one of the sauces was, and she brought me extra. It's clear that the staff take pride in their work and enjoyed each other's company, making the experience all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend.

We both had the 4 course tasting menu which was outstanding. From first to last the only disappointment was that each course had to end. The onion tart while not fish based was excellent as well. While I am a chocolate lover, the non-chocolate dessert was equally memorable. Pacing and service were just right.

What a most memorable and enjoyable evening have a very fine dinner with superb service!!! We had been in Denmark for seven weeks and we had not enjoyed as much seafood as we liked. There were several reasons we selected this restaurant as our final dinner on Denmark. Seafood. Almost exclusively. Great reviews from both social media and our hotel concierge. And lastly, the restaurants willingness and flexibility to tailor the menu for both of us, so we wouldn't need to have identical tasting menu. Mikkel, one of the three owners was taking care of us all night through. He was most charming and patient discussing the menu and offering variations to accommodate my wife's dietary restrictions. We both ended up opting for the "Full Experience Course" menu, which was a minimum of eight courses, and the requisite "snacks" that every fine restaurant provides. One of the amazing things the restaurant offers is that they'll open any bottle of wine under 1000DKK/bottle with a two glass minimum. Very accommodating!! Needless to say, each dish we consumed was absolutely delicious. We were treated like Kings and Queens all night. On my return to Copenhagen, I shall relish dining here again!!!

Great fixed menu option. Wonderful seafood of course but the vegetables and wine pairings were amazing

Friendly and inviting atmosphere with inventive and well prepared tasty dishes.. Wine selection nicely accompanied the dishes. Superb quality and value for an enjoyable dining experience. Don't miss it.

The new place of Marv & Ben and one of the hottest tickets in town. Truly elevated fish cuisine, with lovely staff (Johann) and sommelier who knows his stuff. In fact, the challenge with delicate food such as fish, is to pair a proper wine that is there but does not take over, and that when the buttery or acidic sauces come in play, and this is what is accomplished here, the wine is in the background, supporting the food, which is a danish modern approach to fish, innovative and at Star level. The staff accommodated us after wandering around, with our little 9 month old, that even scored the private tour of the kitchen. Yes, Copenhagen has a lot to offer at the cutting edge and this one is another must for the foodie!
