The Room
Frederik Bille Brahe opened Apollo Bar inside the Charlottenborg courtyard in 2014 — a serious chef-driven seasonal-Danish bistro hidden inside the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. The dining room is one of Copenhagen's most-cinematic settings: a glass-walled courtyard surrounded by 17th-century academy buildings.
Eater Copenhagen has held Apollo Bar on its top-Indre-By rankings every year of operation.
The Food
The menu runs seasonal-Danish with Mediterranean influences. The hand-rolled pasta programme, the seasonal-rotating Danish preparations, the wood-fire grill handle the menu's wider draws.
Wine programme tilts toward natural and small-producer. Cocktails are short and considered.
