Pastis Fishmarket

My husband and I came here last night for dinner and had a almost entirely wonderful experience. Our server wasn’t superb but the food was great– we had oysters, ceviche and I had the cod with truffle sauce (clearly a favorite based on the tables around ours). The only peculiar thing was a restaurant policy that all wine bottles be opened at the bar rather than the table. A bizarre practice particularly in a French restaurant. Décor is great, vibe is good. Certainly recommend!

As some have mentioned the service is hit or miss. We had it in the same meal. One of the servers really didnt seem to want to be bothered while the other was friendly and super attentive. I love new Nordic dont get me wrong but sometimes you gotta get some classic un adorned seafood. Fruit de mers tower had stone crab, lobster, langoustine, shrimp, and oysters. We got the cod with the asparagus to supplement and both were solid. Poached pear dessert and a couple of glasses of wine finished our late meal. Crazy interesting people watching to boot. If you go hopefully the dice roll in your favor for the friendly server

Fish in Copenhagen? Yes, this is indeed the right place.
I could not be happier, being the fish-​consuming troll that i am.
From the top — Slightly french, but not in the stinty-​potion-​size way. Just well-​cooked seaside food. There is always a kind welcome, although the waiters and waitresses are a bit young, but as long as they are good at their jobs, im fine with that.
Oysters — Spectacular, they always serve Fine de Claire, two types. Tasty, fleshy and very powerful, i am very fond of these. And they have Kilpatricks, which is to many a sin, but i do have a weak spot for the idea of combining oysters and bacon :)
I have tried several of the mains, they are fantastic, each their own idea and flavour, and i have tried the seafood platter (Royal or something fancy). Wonderful huge servings.
And on that note — The bread. They have 2 types that comes with different dishes. It is fantastic :)
They have several small dishes, very delicate, and the raw fish is perfect.
Wine — They do know what they are doing. Champagne… well, i might just be fond of more sharp taste then most, i would love a little more bite to this selection.
And if they could add one good stout to the menu. Oysters and stout are a wonderful combination, and should be more accessible :)
Minus — Its always full, difficult to book.
Oh, and a final upside — At least one of the bartenders now knows how to make an old-​fashioned.
In the end — If you like fish, go here at least once while in Cph. :)
Enjoy.

This restaurant has a great location, and despite the extremely poor service, the food was quite good. The food is prepared on French-​based recipes. The bouillabaisse was very good, as were the grilled langoustines. The wine list is very good. The prices are higher then you would be used to for this quality of food in the United States, but they are the norm in Copenhagen, especially in this Central District. There is a small area for outdoor seating as well, if the weather is good. We would not go out of our way to come back to this restaurant, but if you are hungry and in the neighborhood, it is perfectly acceptable. I think you have more interesting and better options in Copenhagen.

Amazing stylish seafood restaurant. Prices are fair and the food is great
