Kødbyens Fiskebar

Kødbyens Fiskebar at Flæsketorvet 100 is a seafood restaurant in Kødbyen, Copenhagen's Meatpacking District in Vesterbro. The district's former wholesale meat halls now house restaurants and bars, and the Fiskebar is one of its best-known dining rooms, serving Nordic seafood in a converted industrial space. The cuisine centres on fish and shellfish, with raw and cured seafood, a fish of the day and oysters as the main draws. Dishes follow the Nordic preference for clean flavours and seasonal produce, and the menu is designed for sharing and for ordering several small courses rather than a single large main. Dinner costs about DKK 450-800 (about USD 70-124) per person, depending on the number of dishes and drinks. The dining room has an urban, relaxed atmosphere that suits an evening out in Vesterbro; the crowd is a mix of locals and visitors, noise levels are moderate to high when full, and dress is casual to smart-casual. A wine list with whites and sparkling wines suits the seafood, and the bar serves cocktails and beer. Dinner is served nightly, though hours should be confirmed on the website. Reservations are made through the website and are advised for weekends and for groups, as the restaurant is popular and the district is busy in the evenings. Visitors can combine dinner with a walk through Kødbyen's other venues, and the area is within walking distance of Copenhagen Central Station. Those wanting a lighter option can build a meal from oysters and raw seafood rather than a full multi-course dinner, which keeps the bill toward the lower end of the range.
