Sankt Gertruds Kloster
Hauser Plads 32 Cuisines: FrenchAbout
Surely this is how the medieval kings of Denmark must have dined, with Hamlet pondering the question in the background. It is the most romantic restaurant in Denmark, a great place to pop the question or tell your spouse you want a divorce. There's no electricity in the labyrinth of 14th-century underground vaults, and the 1,500 flickering candles, open grill, iron sconces, and rough-hewn furniture create an elegant ambience. Enjoy an aperitif in the darkly paneled library. The chefs display talent and integrity, their cuisine reflecting precision and sensitivity. Every flavor is fully focused, each dish balanced to perfection. Try the fresh, homemade foie gras with black truffles, lobster served in a turbot bouillon, venison (year-round) with green asparagus and truffle sauce, or a fish-and-shellfish terrine studded with chunks of lobster and salmon. These dishes range from being merely good to being sublime.
