If you, like us, were turned on by the novel Sult, by Norwegian author Knut Hamsun, you might want to try out the restaurant whose moniker pays homage to the book. This fashionable, trendy eatery is inside the Danish Film Institute's center and is both a cultural and a gourmet experience. The setting is like a modern museum with wood floors, towering windows, and lofty ceilings. Chef Fredrik Ohlsson has traveled the continent for his culinary inspiration, although he specializes in French cuisine. Using market-fresh ingredients, he often elevates his food to the sublime. Just describing the rather simple dishes does not suggest their artfulness in seasonings and natural flavors. The chef will take a grilled tuna or a filet of lamb, even oven-baked lemon sole, and make something special out of it. If you don't want to make decisions, opt for one of the fixed-price menus, which are innovative and engaging to the palate. The wine list is impressive but rather high-priced.
