    This was an incredibly good restaurant with each dish that I tasted being presented in a wonderful way and living up to all of the hype. Their staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the wines by the glass offered with the meal were superb. Each course was spaced out in a manner so that we were able to fully enjoy the previous course as well as the wine. The timing was impeccable, and the decor in the restaurant was very welcoming. I suggest this place to anyone who is looking to enjoy a nice intimate dinner and explore a cuisine that might otherwise be unfamiliar to them. Certainly deserving of a Michelin star, this place delivers in every aspect.

    This was our first Michelin star experience and it has truly turned us on to trying more restaurants in the future. The atmosphere perfectly encompasses hygge. Warm, cozy and inviting. Our main waiter was very courteous and friendly and all other waitresses staff were knowledgeable in explaining each food item. As is standard, the courses were small but came out quickly. We enjoyed every single good item! All beautifully presented with amazing flavor. AND, they played a lot of Thundercat during the meal, one of our fav artists. It was all a great experience and I couldn’t recommend this place enough to try!

    I wouldn’t consider myself a connoisseur of fine dining, but I’ve been to several Michelin star restaurants. And unfortunately, I’d have to put Formel B near the bottom of that short list. Not to say that my meal was bad, it just lacked the wow factor I’ve experienced in other places. The meals were well prepared and most of them were tasty. There wasn’t any particular course that really stood out and wow’ed me. But, the combination of ingredients were well done. The service was ok, but really lacked the attention to detail I’ve come to expect when spending a few hundred dollars on a meal. The plates often lingered on the table in between courses while servers walked by, the courses took quite some time in between each course, and nobody ever came to clean the crumbs off the table in between courses. We were never asked if we wanted other drinks in between courses (we had to ask). To top it off though, after we had finished everything including our after dinner coffees, we sat there for 20 minutes waiting for someone to see if we were ready to go and give us our check. Nobody ever came - we had to flag someone down. Minor details for a normal restaurant, sure, but not something you’d expect to happen at a Michelin star restaurant. Overall, maybe the service issues were a fluke for our table. If you do end up going, check out the James Bond style bathroom though!

    The highlight - Bread. Butter. But it kept coming. And we kept eating. In the end, the group resorted to a strategy of not touching the bread in the hope of fully enjoying the set courses (we battled the urge) - but alas, they diligently replaced the half-finished basket with yet another fresh batch. The good - beautiful variety of fresh ingredients complemented each other in a unique way and presented elegantly. The intervals between each dish were long; strongly resembling the experience in The Menu. There was an interesting juxtaposition between the relatively cosy, laid-back environment and the dragging wait time. The ‘could be better’ - our waitress was green, nervous, losing her train of thought; she kept glancing towards possibly the direction of her supervisor. Watching her felt like seeing a deer caught in headlights. The ‘not acceptable’ - we didn’t tip due to the abovementioned experience. Straightly after payment, we were completely ignored. Have you seen guests at a Michelin Star restaurant sifting through the coat room looking for their coats? No one saw us out at the door or addressed us as we left while there were staff standing at reception. We said thank you upon the cold departure and were only acknowledged after addressing them. Conclusion: Bread might have stolen the show, however it was their service that left a crumby impression.

    All the dishes are incredible. I especially love the celeriac. Who would have thought the combination between celeriac, black garlic, plum, and umeshu, can create such a balanced and creative symphony. The chef is absolutely talented and amazing!

    This has been one of the best food experiences I have ever had. The dishes are carefully and masterfully made with an amazing wine pairing. Service was extremely attentive and caring. We had a night to remember…

    Very enjoyable dining experience. Multiple dishes were excellent. Slated properly as a 1 star Michelin spot.

  • 3/5 Luisa C. 1 year ago on Google
    Expectations were high Based on many recommendations and the fact that the restaurant received one Michelin star. My question is: why do they still have the Star? The service was impersonal and without Empathy. The Waiters did not Transport the Chefs Inspiration. Tables are too low, inconvient and very narrow seating. The first champaign served was inapproriate. Wine pairing however was good. The food was without surpise. No course did really Impress me. I hope they will do everything to Keep the Star. I think they have not deserved it.

    Dine with a style at one Michelin restaurant. It's great to try Nordic food.

    So glad that I got a chance to try this restaurant. Everything is perfect !

  • 5/5 Jonatan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Inspirational, beautiful and very tasty. One of the more interesting gourmet restaurants in Copenhagen.

  • 5/5 Markus S. 11 months ago on Google
    Felt very welcome from the first minute. We deliberately chose some of their signature dishes and they didn't disappoint. The wine pairing was experetely chosen from classic European regions.

  • 5/5 Mathilde V. 8 months ago on Google • 32 reviews
    The restaurant itself is charming, decorated in Scandinavian (minimalist) style, with a lot of wood elements. The atmosphere is very peaceful, intimate. The cuisine is inventive, dishes are well executed, and needless to mention that the products are very well selected. I really liked the caviar with oyster and asparagus mousse, the lemon sole and the roasted Turbot. The service is good.

    My wife and I came to this restaurant due to our love of food on our wedding night. We were not disappointed, each course got better and better as they came. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates a good menu made by incredible chefs. Compliments to all involved from the restaurant!!

  • 5/5 Karina Kinuyo N. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended - the 5 course menu has reasonable price (compared to other similar places) and provides a perfect experience. Our dinner lasted 3 hours in total, you don't feel neither too full neither hungry and can take the time to enjoy the wonderful food. The waiters create a comfortable, yet fancy atmosphere. There are alcohol-free drinks (special juices) to choose from.

  • 1/5 Søren L. 1 year ago on Google
    We were utterly disappointed. We had the 7 course menu with the matching wine menu and spent 4600 DKK (about 620 USD/EUR for two). Course 1 was three snacks - tasty, but really only snacks. And nothing else on the table apart from water. No bread, no wine. We were told that wine would only arrive with the real courses, so we could only open our Michelin experience by cheering in water. The following servings of miniscule tastings that were Course 2-7 were an accumulating frustration. Not only were courses presented by an unengaged waiter rambling the ingredients followed by an 'enjoy', but it was entirely impossible to recognize what had actually gone into the dishes. One containing crab. Well if you say so. Servings were so small that we were building up an expectation that the two final quail dishes - quail leg and quail breast - would then be the grand finale. No such luck. Although the one leg was tender and tasty, it came with one small glazed carrot and a tee spoon of compote. We felt like reliving the parody of finer French cuisine that would leave you wanting to visit the local diner on the way home. Last course, the quail breast, was served with something we never managed to figure out. It might have been tofu. I was in doubt which of the two small pieces on the plate was actually the one piece of breast, because it was entirely covered by green spices like the Santa Maria spices we oftentimes use for our grill - it came out as the art of turning a fine piece of quail into a grill sausage. With it a dark brown sauce that made the plate look very unappealing and nowhere near a grand finale. At this final course, a waiter asked not if we were happy, but 'if the food was as intended'. How were we to know, but we certainly didn't hope so. After this a scoop of sherbet with crumbles of merengue. Certainly good, but not really a Michelin star desert. The wine menu, though, we couldn't fault. Well matched, even interestingly with the third dish of green, yellow and red tomatoes and shrimps paired with a very sweet Mosel. Needless to say, we found no reason to tip. Maybe for that reason we were left to ourselves to leave the restaurant. No one at the wardrobe and no one to see us out of the door, underscoring the tepidity of the service. Formel B may be at the cheaper end of the Michelin options in Copenhagen, but still nowhere near worth the money, nor the star.

    Went there twice to taste different menus and we both agreed we liked the 4 course one much better. The service was fantastic on day one and very inconstant on second, with uneven gaps between dishes. But overall very good experience

    Kept its Michelin star for 2022 and had it since 2004. The food is really quite amazing. Coming from Singapore where there are lots of Michelin starred restaurants, the food here beats many of them easily. They cooked they quail to perfection and their sorbet was the perfect way to end the whole meal.

    Very nice dinner in fine dining environment. Staff was friendly and aware. Taking care and caution’s on allergies or dietary requirements. The toilet is a bit funky, feels like it’s taken out of Star Trek enterprise

  • 3/5 Nate W. 2 years ago on Google
    Have to say despite the reputation of this place I was disappointed by the food. I had the 5 course classic menu. Nothing remarkable nor memorable except for the desert which was in itself amazing. Service was excellent throughout.

  • 5/5 Cecilia Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience at Formel B. We had the 5 course menu with wine pairings and it was our favorite stop in Copenhagen. Staff was fluent in English and explained dishes and wine expertly. Pricing was reasonable for the food quality and quantity. We would come back. You can make reservations starting about 3 months in advance.

    Simply amazing... Food, wine service! Perfect evening

  • 5/5 Kory K. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing. Words can't really do it justice. From the first course to dessert, just fantastic food from beginning to end.

  • 5/5 Isabel N. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and great service, the wine pairings were exceptionally good.

  • 5/5 Peter F. 3 years ago on Google
    Top noch food and service.. please try it if you ever have the chance!! One of the best restaurants in Copenhagen!!

  • 5/5 Christian H. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing food, great service and superb wine. It is hard to critique Formel B, the food is innovative and full of flavour and together with the wine pairing you are guaranteed an amazing experience. I recommend trying their signature dishes.

  • 5/5 Kasper M. 3 years ago on Google
    Perfect evening at Formel B we were 2 couples. We all had the classic 4 dish signature menu. All was executed perfect from presentation to taste. From being a Michelin star restaurant prizes was very reasonable. Can't recommend enough.

  • 5/5 Anna C. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious and creative. The service was also great. We had a good time!

  • 4/5 Thomas 2 years ago on Google
    We had the 5 course menu. The food was a little bit below expectations, but all in all a great experience The bread was quite mediocre compared to the bread we were served anywhere in Kopenhagen. Absolute delicious: Roasted turbot with braised ox cheek and parsley/garlic sauce

  • 5/5 Philip T. 2 years ago on Google
    Best food experience I've had. We had the 6 course menu (995 DKK). While expensive, it was worth every penny (at least according to my mom who was the one paying :^) )
