Paté Paté

Paté Paté at Slagterboderne 1 is an informal bistro in Kødbyen, the Meatpacking District of Vesterbro in Copenhagen. The restaurant occupies part of the former wholesale meat halls and shares the district's industrial character, with a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to locals and visitors looking for a casual European-style meal. The cuisine is bistro cooking with a European outlook, built around pâté, seasonal bistro plates and natural wines. The name signals the pâté, which is among the signature items, and the seasonal plates change with the produce available. Dinner costs about DKK 350-600 (about USD 54-93) per person, depending on the number of dishes and glasses of wine. The beverage programme leans on natural wines, with options by the glass and bottle. The dining room is relaxed and conversational, with a casual dress code and moderate to high noise levels at busy times, and the format suits sharing a few plates between friends. Lunch and dinner are served, though hours should be confirmed on the website. Reservations are made on the website and are advised for dinner and weekends, since the bistro is popular and the district is busy in the evenings. Walk-in tables may be available at weekday lunch. Visitors can pair the meal with a walk through the neighbouring venues in Kødbyen, and the area is within walking distance of Copenhagen Central Station. Diners looking to keep costs down can order a couple of plates plus the pâté to share, while those wanting a fuller meal can order several seasonal dishes and a bottle of wine, which brings the bill toward the upper end of the range.
