Barabbas Restaurant has chandeliers, hand painted Turkey tapestry, marble tables and a large 350-year-old wooden table with large heavy wooden cabinets.

A pasta dish costs about DKK 130 and a main course around DKK 180. Chose between a simple classic pasta or a game of ravioli with pork and cannellini or mussels and seaweed, or a crisp calf tongue with mussels and salsa verde.

Riccardo Maron is obviously there for the wine, focusing on local grapes and lots of terroir. The kitchen is open from noon till 2 at night.

Frank Restaurant
Frank is owned and managed by kitchen manager Christoffer Brink, and sommelier Anders Vendelboe. Christoffer was previously an assistant to Jeppe Foldager, when they won Bocuse d’Or silver medal in 2013. Since then he has been a cook at Geranium and Alberto K, and chef at Gemyse in Tivoli.

Feel free to board various green, yellow and white dim sums, lotus toot salad or a calf feather with imperial hats served in smoking hot wrought iron pans so the dish bubbles on the table.

Their spring rolls alone make Megasasa worth a visit, not to mention their sympathetic prices.

Café Royal at Radisson Blu Royal just opposite Tivoli is a cosmopolitan design gem with associated bistro dishes and cocktail bar. The restaurant has become a real treasure trove of Arne Jacobsen’s designs. The Giraffe and the Mayor sofa have for instance been revived, just as the leather edition of the Dråbe chair.

If you can get your eyes off the beautiful design furniture, you’ll find classic bistro dishes on the menu. Chef Christian Paradisi comes from a position as chef and co-owner of the prestigious Restaurant Umami. In the middle of the kitchen there’s a Josper grill, which provides meat, fish and poultry barbecue.

Sanches Restaurant
Chef and owner, Hilja de Schanchez grew up in the southside of Chicago and is a first generation Mexican-American. Her dream of making well prepared Mexican food in Europe lead to the opening of her taqueria in Copenhagen.

The service is prompt, friendly and professional without being familiar. The food is excellent and Silo offers good value for money. Enjoy a drink in the lounge before or after the dinner, a nice place just to hang out and enjoy the view.

A four-course menu costs DKK 425, a starter about DKK 105 or a main course DKK 235. We had a lukewarm squid with grilled leeks, spring onions and leafy sour leek vinaigrette for starter and fried turbot with steamed broccoli, watercress and Burgundy snails in red wine sauce as main dish.

Restaurant Silo is situated on top of a 17-storey former grain silo which has been transformed into housing residential apartments and public functions.

According to the owners, they want to run the perfect burger bar. “That’s why we cook with heart and create out of passion. At Sliders we prefer brie for cheese and we praise our meals.

Sliders, right next to Queen Louise Bro, proved in 2014 that small burgers can have a great taste. It was so successful that they almost have had full house since their first opening day.

Last December, it became time for the popular burger contractors to expand their business with another department. In the large corner building at Enghave Plads 4, where Nordea bank previously had a branch, you can now enjoy the same menu as at Nørrebro. You can have a slider for DKK 45 or three sliders + a side order and dip for DKK 129.

There are nine different options to choose from, including Tripple Truffle Cheese, consisting of three kinds of cheeses, three kinds of mushrooms and truffle mayo.

Trio Restaurant
Trio restaurant is also a top floor restaurant, on the three top floors of Axel Tower’s Tower D. With a location next to the Tivoli Gardens and the Circus Building in central Copenhagen, expectations are sky high for this new restaurant concept.
