Parnas

Description:

• This is the best place in Copenhagen for late-night refugees to satisfy their munchies. The food may not be the best, but where else can you order a grilled steak and a beer at 3 o'clock in the morning? Opposite the city's largest department store, Magasin, this late-night refuge is decorated like a warm, rustic, old-fashioned Danish kro (inn). Begin with three different kinds of herring or marinated salmon, followed by fried sliced pork with parsley sauce, several different preparations of sole and salmon, or the house specialty -- Parnas Gryde, which combines grilled sirloin with bacon, marrow, and mushrooms, with béarnaise sauce on the side. This platter has been on the menu since the restaurant opened in the 1930s. After midnight, a limited menu is available, and live music begins at 8:30pm.
