Ved Stranden 10

Very cute wine bar with lots of life. I came here on a Friday night and it was packed. It was a lovely atmosphere though, very relaxed and happy crowd even though we were packed in there. The only thing that was a bit fishy was the fact that you can’t order off a menu. You simply tell the bartender what you want and they choose something for you. The wine was decent but I think I till prefer a menu of choices. Otherwise the staff and service were great!

This place is a MUST for both residents of CPH and tourists who are visiting. Even if you don’t specifically have an interest in wine, let the staff bring you into the sometimes difficult to penetrate culture of the fermented grape. Visiting on a Monday night there is an option for the ‘Monday Meal’ which is lovingly prepared from a rotating roster of chefs, resident and visiting, for the grateful visitors, we unfortunately did not partake in this on this visit! (this specific Monday was boeuf bourguignon. YUM). The staff were able to bring us a choice of two wines based on how we were feeling that evening, and they hit the choice right on the spot. Ended up going for a delightfully complex South-​Eastern French number which absolutely satisfied all parties involved. Would love to bring more people here, and will be very likely to recommend the place in the future. Nice intimate vibe, where the setup is almost like a lounge room, giving the place a familiar and comforting vibe where you could easily spend hours relaxing and socialising with old friends, or making new ones. If I were to be compiling a list of must-​dos in Copenhagen it would look something like this…1. Get a Bike 2. Ride to the centre of town 3. Go to Ved Stranden 10. No, but seriously, this place is delicious.

We had read about Ved Stranden, award winning wine bar serving fantastic food. So we put it on our list to visit during the day on our wedding anniversary before getting our flight home.
We were not left disappointed.
They were just opening the doors when we arrived. The weather was horrific outside which made the atmosphere inside all the better. Ved Stranden is like being in your own living room… one with designer furniture, lampshades and highbrow literature that is. You are instantly at ease and comfortable. More of a Wine lounge than a wine bar.
We asked if we could see a menu… there wasn’t one. Instead they asked what kind of wine we like and said they’d bring us something appropriate over. When we asked fo a food menu… there wasnt one… instead they said they had a soup on or they could rustle up a croque monsieur… which is what we’d come for… so we chose that.
I’m all for the laid back feel of having no idea what to order, but in an expensive city like Copenhagen, we could have been in trouble. Instead we played guess the bill… with our fingers crossed that it wouldn’t be any more.
The croque monsiuer is indeed the best i have ever eaten and the wine they chose for us was perfect.
The bill approximately £40 between us. Not cheap, but bloody lovely.

You guys, there’s a reason Ved Stranden 10 regularly is listed as AOK’s best winebar in Copenhagen.
In the winter the inside is hygge’d to the max with danish design, delish tapas, and cosy corners to hang out in. A pretty great place to sip on some fermented grapes and whet your appetite.
BUT.
In the summer this place is off the charts. You automatically get the immediate expansion of hygge possibilities by the well-​situated location next to the canal, with a view of Børsen and the parliament and all the tourists coming through on their canal cruises, which means you are a model of «how the Danes do» (don’t forget to wave!).
If you sweet talk the owner, he’ll let you pay retail price for your bottle, and give you glasses, and you can go sit on one of the docks along the canal. Just promise to not cause problems with the canal cruise guys as they are a little territorial. Otherwise take a seat and get full service at one of their many outdoor tables, and hang outside watching the sun set on a warm June night.

I stumbled across this place with a recommendation from another wine bar in the city (Since they know the best places of course.) It was so hyggelig! We grabbed two chairs outside, and had a great waiter come up named Morris who explained they don’t have a wine card, so we just need to say what we like, and he picks it out for us. I was also hungry and wanted some tapas to nibble on. Event though they were out of bread, he went into the kitchen, and figured something out and whipped up a little impromptu plate with rødbrød. It was so delicious! The view over the water is wonderful and perfect on a summer evening.
At the end we moved inside while they cleaned up, and it was super cozy inside as well. It was like stepping into someone’s very design oriented house with empty wine bottles everywhere. I found out their collection is around 1300 different kinds of wine, and their cellar has around 7,000 bottles.
If you are a wino like me, this is the place. The staff is friendly and accessible, the food is high quality, and the service is great. I will definitely be coming back!

Fun, relaxed, great wine, friendly service and good advice on wines. The menu is quite simple but the products are high quality. Great cheeses and cold cuts
Perfect for relaxing and sharing a great moment with friends.

I went to Ved Stranden 10 recently with two friends who enjoy fine wines. Upon finding a place to sit, we were greeted by a waiter, who told us that he was the menu, and that we could ask him anything regarding the wine selections. We gave him an idea of what we were interested in, came back within a few minutes to offer us a taste, proceeded to then tell us the price of the bottle which ended up being around what we were expecting to pay, and were set. Perhaps it would have been nice to have been asked a price range before bringing over a bottle, but oh well — worse has happened.
The wine bar was very nicely decorated and in a very central location near Højbro Plads and Gammel Strand. In regards to wine bars in Copenhagen, it’s either the best or in the top 3. It’s definitely worth giving a try.

What a great experience. Exploring Copenhagen by foot for hours we stumbled upon this establishment as it was opening. The owner, Christian, was very friendly, informative and most importantly, passionate about wine.
As luck would have it, every Monday a guest chef prepares a family style meal. After a couple of glasses we moved to the bar for dinner and had the pleasure of conversation with Christian. He even introduced us to our first natural wine. It was a pleasure to observe the rapport between him and his employees and to also see the great relationship between the employees and the locals that make this a Monday night ritual.
It was really hard to leave as early as we did but we had a flight to catch in the morning. This is a great wine bar. It looks great but any wine bar can look great. The bottom line always depends on the people who work there. If you find someone with a passion for what they do, your experience will be something to be remembered. This is one of those rare places that has that most essential of ingredients-​passion

Location, location… good wine!
One of the things I learned on my last visit to Italy is that wine is a better conversation lubricant than coffee. Vinotecas stay open throughout the day… a pleasant haven for tired feet and dry mouths.
In Copenhagen, right in the middle of it all you have Vin Stranden.
Great selection of wines including many natural ones, knowledgeable staff, tons of books on wine and food to flip through
Somehow the good folks at Ved Stranden 10 make you feel at home right away. There is lots of comfortable sitting room and you can even chill by one of the tables right along the canal. This wine seems to be a popular after work option for the many government offices around this area, so friday night it quickly becomes a sardine can.

Great selection of wine, and snacks. Fun atmosphere. Knowledgeable staff.
