There’s nothing like salivating over beautiful home furnishings to get your appetite up. Well, presumably that’s the theory behind Restaurant Paustian, located in the rather spectacular namesake interiors store. It’s been without a chef for a while, but holy upholstery, is it back with a bang.
The pair behind its relaunch are Bo and Lisbeth Jacobsen, chefs and owners of Restaurationen, who are bringing their own particular brand of ‘Danish food’ to the table having been more than a bit sneery about other local restaurants’ fusion ‘hodge podge’.
Their self-penned cookbook, ‘Danish Cooking at Home’ explains a lot about the ethos behind the monthly menus here, which veer away from the set seven-course dramas of other establishments and instead concentrate on forgotten traditions and simple fodder done well.
The prices aren’t half bad either, so you’ll have change after purchasing your Eames for a little smoked fish, pickled veg and one of the daily ice-creams with a scattering of berries.
