Nice dishes - Edit
We decided not going for the set menu but ordered one of each of the savoury dishes on the menu instead. Some of th were great, some of them just ok. The kombucha/pear drink unfortunately tasted just like liquor and we didn’t even manage to finish it. All in all good - but maybe a bit over hyped?

A must-try if you get the chance! - Edit
I've taken numerous non-veg people with me here and all of us agree: this is one of the best food experiences we've ever had. Everything is absolutely top-notch. The food itself just blows you away, let alone their outstanding atmosphere and service.

The best food I’ve ever had - Edit
Calming, somewhat casual ambience, this place lives up to the reputation of its 2023 and 2024 Michelin stars. My husband and I got the tasting menu with the wine pairing and it’s honestly the first time I’ve ever involuntarily closed my eyes while chewing because it was that good. Locally “foraged” ingredients and everything there is sustainably sourced. If you have the option to try this place it’s a must. You will thank yourself.

Worth every penny - Edit
We had a lovely anniversary dinner here two nights ago and everything from the service to the ingredients and taste of the food was simply great. All the plates were plant based and great and the fried mushrooms were spectacular. We ordered the tasting menu and were both super full and satisfied, which is not always the case in fine dining restaurants. Special shout out to Beatrice for your amazing service.

Not the vegan experience I’d hope for! - Edit
This is the perfect place to throw your dumb made or inherited money. They will charge you $9 for a bottle of house-made gassed tap water for three people even if one clearly refused it. They even took the clean glass away leaving just 2 on the table. You can also get infant sized portions to feed your daycare appetite. If you are impressed by the ambiance here you might think Starbucks has the best coffee in every city and the dirty thin outdoor seat mats are comfortable. They do have outside seating to roll some large bill cash into cigarettes incase you can’t burn your money fast enough. If you are a pretentious food snob you will love the stingy ounce of deep fried blue oyster mushrooms that are cold by the time they serve them a long with the pretentious cool waiter vibe taking out his bad life decisions out on you.
Read moreTo be fair, the broccolini was as good as some you can imagine at an average to better vegan potluck.
I’ve been to some amazing vegan restaurants in my lifetime traveling and living in cities that have been vegan 25 plus years. The 3 dishes were no better or worse than what you might find in a vegan deli selling food by the weight. Leaving really the only difference to be that the food didn’t get served cold and in plastic
Pros: To far from home to be tempted to go again
Cons: Not a fun experience , My non vegan friends were not impressed

Very nice, but maybe over-hyped - Edit
Maybe I read too many reviews, but the service we got was definitely not as good as we were expecting. The Italian waiter's accent was so strong we could only understand half of what he said, and I don't think the service was anything above the ordinary.
Read moreThe food however was very nice. We had the weekend tasting menu and really enjoyed it. The additional 75kr mushrooms were delicious.
We spent just over 2000kr for two people, including 2x 3 wine match, 3 cocktails and the extra mushrooms and it was all very nice.
If I'm honest though, I don't think I'd bother going back.
Pros: Food was good, Nice restaurant , Not far from home!
Cons: I think it's a bit overpriced , Didn't get the great service everyone raves about

Huge recommendation - Edit
Visited Bistro Lupa many times and I'm equally amazed every time. Friendly waiters, AMAZING food with huge focus on sustainability. With each dish you get a short story about the locally grown veggies. Love it!

Good vegan fine dining option - Edit
We got the set menu and really enjoyed it. The main course, orzo in a tomato sauce and a nut based ricotta, was particularly excellent. This was also one of my partner’s favorite desserts in Copenhagen. It was a matcha ice cream in a rhubarb sauce.

Perfect - Edit
Everything was wonderful, from the staff to the food to the drinks. We had the non-alcoholic pairing to the tasting menu and had an absolutely fantastic evening. Lucien was a darling, as was everyone else. The food and drinks were exquisite, imaginative and unusual. We were slightly late, but welcomed beautifully. Thank you for a perfect evening.

This was the final piece of the Ark Collection we didn’t try. And my oh my, what a lovely time we had. Excellent staff, making sure we had everything we needed. Very well explained dishes and thoughts around them, as well as asking curiously for feedback.
Read moreSince we had the 5 course tasting menu, we really appreciated being involved with the thoughts and feedback around the dishes. Having the mocktail pairing, was the right choice. From tasty kombucha to exquisite ice tea… wow!

Date night tasting menu - Edit
Searching for vegan places to come while in Copenhagen and came across Michelin vegan restaurants Ark and Lupa so immediately knew I had to book!
Read moreWe came here on a Saturday night for a valentines treat on our overnight stay in Copenhagen. Saturday night there is only the option for the 5 course tasting menu. The wine list has a lot of natural wines that I am not familiar with so we went with the 3 wine tasting option as well.
Bistró Lupa has a philosophy of using local foods and they forage for ingredients in Copenhagen. My favourite dishes were the celeriac pasta, flat bread and the apple strudel dessert. Oh my god. Yum!
Staff are really nice and attentive. They even topped up our wine glasses! Ambience is effortlessly Scandi cool. Recommend the corner window seat for a cosy romantic dinner for two.
Bistró Lupa has a Michelin Green rating demonstrating its commitment to sustainability.
Pros: Fully vegan / delicious menu, Sustainable , Staff

Delicious food, but disappointing experience - Edit
Cozy place with delicious food and great service. Every single dish we tried as bursting with flavor, beautifully plated, and overall a pleasure to eat. I really enjoyed their “pasta” dish and the dessert. The extra mushroom course was not worth it in my opinion and I would not recommend it.
Read moreHowever, despite a positive food experience could not give Lupa five stars because I left hungry and disappointed. The meal did not build up as one went from a course to the next. That is, there was no dish that felt like a “main” but rather the entire meal felt like small appetizers and then you got a dessert. I love tasting menu experiences but this one felt like it was missing something. None of the dishes featured any protein or something (other than bread) that would really satisfy, and portions were small considering it was only 5 (and realistically 4 because some dishes came together and were shared) courses. Given the fact that the only option is the five course menu, It was especially frustrating to feel like all these delicious small dishes built up my expectations of a sumptuous main and I was left disappointed.
Dessert, at least, was delicious and likely my favorite dish.
Overall, I would not return and cannot fully recommend stopping by. For the price tag you can eat better elsewhere
Pros: Delicious food, Great service , Courses came out quickly
Cons: Menu lacked a good flow , Portions were too small / not satisfying , Expensive

Simply outstanding - Edit
We were absolutely enchanted by Bistro Lupa, our server was so friendly and knowledgeable and suggested the tasting menu which did not disappoint. Every dish was perfection and we were so excited to see what each course was going to be like. The dessert was so delicate and absolutely delicious, as well. By far our favourite dish were the Korean fried mushrooms. Hands down best dish of the night. But the most secret and best surprise was the slider we added on to our tasting menu. We could not get over how good it was! Absolutely do not bypass the slider add-on, it's so worth it!

A splendid dining experience - Edit
This was a splurge for me and worth it. Each dish is made with many local organic ingredients delicately spiced with an awareness of flavor, texture, and color. Such inventive fresh dishes and all together filling. Definitely add the fried blue oyster mushrooms. They are sublime. The service matches the food. If I am ever in Copenhagen again I will go directly to Bistro Lupa.
