Barr

Barr is a Nordic pub restaurant at Strandgade 93 in Christianshavn, Copenhagen, Denmark, occupying the original warehouse on the harbour where Noma opened its first kitchen. The building carries real culinary history, and Barr uses it to serve a relaxed, pub-style take on North-European food, drawing on the beer and cooking traditions of the countries around the North Sea and Baltic. The menu is built around hearty, unfussy dishes, with a strong emphasis on drinks, and it is associated with the Noma team, which gives it credibility without the formality of a tasting menu. Signature dishes include the Wiener schnitzel, a crisp breaded cutlet that is among the most popular orders, and smoked fish dishes that reflect the northern coastline. The beer list is the other defining feature, with a broad selection of North-European beers served in the pub setting. Dinner costs about DKK 300-550 (about USD 47-85) per person, depending on drinks. The dining room is warm, rustic and harbour-facing, with exposed beams and a lively, social atmosphere suited to groups. Noise levels are moderate to high when the room is full, and the dress code is casual. Lunch and dinner are served, but travellers should confirm the current schedule on the website. Reservations are recommended and can be made on the restaurant's website; weekend dinners are the hardest to secure, so booking a week or more ahead is sensible. The Christianshavn location is near Broens Gadekøkken and the Inner Harbour Bridge, which makes a walk along the water before or after the meal easy. It suits visitors who want a relaxed meal with strong beer and generous portions, and who are interested in the history of the building as the former home of one of the world's best-known restaurants.
