Victor Von G

Victor Von G is located on the 2nd floor of Feskekörka, an indoor fish market and restaurant. The restaurant is named after Victor von Gegerfelt, the city architect who designed Feskekörka. The name comes from the building’s similarity to a neo-Gothic church.

At Victor Von G, I found myself in an elegant modern setting, seated by the window on a gorgeous sunny afternoon with a view of the water. The food presentation was captivating, combining inventive elements with vibrant colors.

The menu features a chef’s selection set menu alongside a small à la carte offering, which includes starters, main courses, and desserts.

For my meal, I chose the poached lemon sole, accompanied by summer cabbage, cauliflower mousse, roasted hazelnuts, bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, and brown butter. The fish was perfectly cooked—fresh, tender, juicy, and delicate in flavor. The combination of the creamy, umami-rich elements with the crunchy, nutty texture created a fascinating balance of flavors.

For dessert, I enjoyed a chocolate mousse featuring licorice herb, blackberry, roasted hazelnuts, and tempered chocolate. The mousse was smooth and sweet with a chocolaty richness, balanced by a tangy, fruity twist.

Prolog Coffee Bar

Opened in 2016 by Sebastian Quistorff and three-time Danish barista champion Jonas Gehl, Prolog has quickly become one of Denmark’s top coffee roasters. Highly recommended by renowned Copenhagen chefs like Rasmus Munk of Alchemist and Kenneth Foong of Noma, Prolog is celebrated for its exceptional coffee. Beyond coffee, the café also offers baked goods from Juno, a beloved bakery just a short walk away.

Prolog has two locations in Copenhagen: one in the vibrant Meatpacking District and another on Randersgade. I visited the Randersgade branch, which is smaller but equally charming compared to the larger Meatpacking location.

The café is bright and cozy, featuring a classic Scandinavian design. The baristas were friendly and welcoming. I ordered a flat white and a cardamom bun—the coffee was strong and robust with a higher acidity, while the bun was soft and flavorful.
