About Silberbauers Bistro
Silberbauers Bistro opened on Jægersborggade in Copenhagen's Nørrebro, taking over the room that the much-loved Manfreds left behind. It is the work of Danish chef Mathias Silberbauer, who trained at Relæ and Bæst in Copenhagen, The Clove Club in London and Pure & V in Nice — and who, fittingly, had his very first kitchen job at Manfreds years earlier.
Inspired by his time on the French Riviera, Silberbauer cooks a daily-changing menu of traditional Niçoise dishes and seasonal local seafood. The signature way to eat is the Carte Blanche, a chef's-choice menu at 350 DKK; à la carte, snacks run about 55 DKK, starters around 100 DKK and mains near 200 DKK. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand in 2024 for exactly this kind of value.
The Room
The bistro is a small, whitewashed room at Jægersborggade 40, with closely set tables and a characterful Provençal feel on one of Nørrebro's most-walked food streets. It is intimate and unfussy rather than grand — the seafood and the southern-French cooking carry the evening.
Why It's Good for First Date
It is a near-ideal first date: a Bib Gourmand kitchen at honest prices, a daily catch that gives you something to talk about, and a snug Nørrebro room quiet enough to actually hear each other. The Carte Blanche takes the ordering pressure off, and the bill won't overshadow the evening.
Not For
Not for a big group or a guest who wants a fixed, predictable menu — the room is tight and the kitchen cooks to the day's deliveries, so the carte shifts and seats are limited.
