Despite being an avid Yelper, sometimes I'm glad I decide to just let my eye lead the way, as I probably wouldn't have chosen to dine here if I saw it's 3.5 stars on Yelp. Instead, I was walking down Istedgade and was drawn to Vinstue's street side tables adorned with pretty flowers.
For dinner, they had a bunch of tapas dishes (each were 95dk, and 3 plates are recommended for sharing) with strange game meats like ox heart and quail (which the waitress said was goose despite the menu, so I'm not sure what to believe anymore). We got a fish, the quail/goose, and the ox tail.
All three dishes were delightfully adorned with fresh herbs and vegetables, and I'm glad to be getting my fiber in.
The fish was a little too salty, but the parsley purée, white asparagus and free basket of seeded rolls balanced it out. My favorite dish by far was the quail/goose - it had a morel mushroom sauce, rich and caramelly carrot purée and fresh peas bursting with pea flavor. I'm not even a big vegetable person but I loved the combination of the gamey bird meat with the vegetables.
The third and final plate was the oxtail - it came with mashed potato that was a little smoky and very savory. The oxtail was fork-tender and the dish came with both pickled and fresh sliced carrots with fried turnip (?) crisps.
I was also glad that the waitress recommended that our plates arrive in a certain order so we could appreciate each to its fullest. The glass of Pinot Noir I got complemented my meal wonderfully.
Overall, a great place to people watch and eat while in Vesterbro!
