Geranium

Denmark’s only three-Michelin-starred restaurant has also got natural wine on its menu (although not exclusively). In fact, they have four different wine pairing menus to go with the food menu. If you want natural wine, go for the “Heart & Soil” one. And yes, you’ll need to book a table in advance!

Nothing could feel more natural than dining amongst the plants and vegetables that grow on the ØsterGRO rooftop as you work your way through the entire natural wine pairing menu. Alternatively, order by the glass as you go.

Barabba
Website
A favourite hang-out spot of local chefs and said to be the best modern Italian restaurant in Copenhagen. Is more convincing really needed? The atmosphere at Barabba is vibrant and relaxed, and the menu is complemented by an ambitious wine menu with wines from a wide array of terroirs around the world.
Nr. 30
Website / Press photos
The dark horse of the natural wine scene, Nr. 30 blows away on all accounts with both food, wine, and affordable prices. The location is central, but the feeling of it remains local and hidden.
Mes
Website
Mes is a restaurant with a large selection of wine from Jura. This was once a winemaking region in France that was frowned upon. Now, it’s the hippest of the hip. Jura is like the Burgundy of the natural wine movement.

La Banchina

Bar and eatery with a view, ocean access and a sauna. The wine menu is long, and it’s all-natural, or “clean”, as they prefer to call it. The lunch and dinner menu changes daily and is fish and vegetable-based.

Needs no words. Oh, alright then, just a few. Pioneer restaurant of the New Nordic movement, serving natural wines paired expertly with food since before natural wine was cool. Three seasons: Vegetable, Game & Forest and Seafood. Book ahead, well in advance.

A restaurant with an incredible view of the harbour and an exceptional long wine list. But don’t let that intimidate you - the staff are helpful and will always let you try before they pour you a glass to make sure it's just the right wine for you.

Sankt Annæ 8
Website
A cosy little, village-like wine bar that does one dish a day (to take home or to eat in) at an excellent price. If you’re eating in, there’s plenty of wine to choose between, and the staff will guide you through the menu. If you’re waiting for your dinner to go, you can also choose to grab a glass of “waiting wine” for a mere 25 kr.

Il Buco started as a small import business that hosted occasional Italian pop-up dinners for friends. Now it’s a fully-fledged café and restaurant with an ever-growing import business, including wine. All-natural, all Italian, all very drinkable. Go for dinner or just share a bottle of bubbles with friends in the courtyard.
