RizRaz København

31/03/2025: Åben has understood Kødbyen and perhaps a notch further than its neighbor Warpigs. I've lost count of the number of craft beer joints that serve burgers with varying results, and Åben probably had that too. The first visit that included food was a week or so after the premiere, when an Italian restaurant hosted a guest appearance that was both competent and had potential. Åben has now come so far that they are investing in an ambitious kitchen and in my opinion, on my last visit, they have something going on. The place is fantastic after dark, big tanks and pipes don't bother you in the slightest. A large and completely open kitchen with a generous number of bar seats lifts the atmosphere even more. For starters, I had a crab salad that was both fresh and filling, lovely texture to the meat. Possibly a little too cold, some of the flavor was lost there. The main course with wonderfully hearty and well-seasoned dumplings in a lovely broth was top-notch. I realized afterwards that I would have rather drunk wine, which would have gone with a pretty small selection. But you go to Åben primarily for the beer, but now there are additional, very good, reasons.
