Nr. 30

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A former butcher's shop on Nansensgade

Nr. 30 occupies a small, characterful space on Nansensgade in central Copenhagen — a room that still carries traces of its past life as a butcher's shop. White tiles line the walls, and the old meat hooks remain, though guests are firmly discouraged from using them. The venue is tightly packed, which, as the White Guide notes in awarding it a Very Fine Level recognition, means you're practically sharing a meal with your neighbours. In practice, that proximity becomes part of the charm — it's hard not to glance at the next table's plates for inspiration.

Seasonal food, honest ingredients

The kitchen's philosophy is straightforward: a seasonal menu built on clean, honest ingredients, with a strong commitment to organic local farming and responsible fishing. Dishes are designed to be shared across the table — a format that suits the relaxed, convivial atmosphere Nr. 30 cultivates. This is seasonal cooking in the most direct sense, shaped by what's available and where it comes from rather than by trend or spectacle.

Wine worth lingering over

The wine list is notably broad, spanning bottles that are clean and composed alongside options that are unfiltered and more expressive. Wines by the glass and a shortlist are also available for those who prefer to explore at their own pace. Before or after a booking, the adjoining bar Stjernen offers drinks and snacks — a natural extension of an evening that's built around taking time.

On Saturdays, the kitchen opens at midday for a three-course lunch menu, making Nr. 30 one of the more versatile addresses on Nansensgade for both a leisurely weekend lunch and a full dinner later in the week.
