lectic menu (with “world fusion” food—curries, wok dishes, Moroccan meat-
balls, and so on). Survey the line of chefs working in the open kitchen, choose
which one you want to cook your meal, and place your order directly with him

dinners with big portions, 100-kr two-course lunch available Mon-Fri, open

Paté Paté,
next doorto BioMio, is a tight, rollicking bistro in a former pâté
factory. While a wine bar at heart, it also has a full menu of pricey, carefully
prepared modern cuisine and a cozy atmosphere rare in the Meatpacking Dis-
trict (85-115-kr starters, 165-195-kr main dishes, Mon-Sat 9:00-24:00, closed
Sun, Slagterboderne 1, tel. 39 69 55 57).
Mother
is a pizzeria named for the way the sourdough for their crust must
be “fed” and cared for to flourish. You can taste that care in the pizza, which
has a delicious tangy crust. Out front are comfortable picnic benches, while
the interior curls around the busy pizza oven and chefs pulling globs of dough
that will become the basis for your pizza (30-kr bruschetta, 75-140-kr pizzas,
a block beyond the other restaurants listed here at Høkerboderne 9, tel. 22 27
58 98).
Nose2Tail Madbodega
(
mad
means “food”) prides itself on locally
sourced, sustainable cooking, using the entire animal for your meal (hence the
name). You'll climb down some stairs into an unpretentious white-tiled cellar
(50-kr small plates, 70-180-kr large plates, Mon-Sat 18:00-24:00, closed Sun,
Flæsketorvet 13A, tel. 33 93 50 45).
