Discover more about Fleisch

Nestled among the whitewashed warehouses and creative spaces of Kødbyen—the Meatpacking District—Fleisch stands as a vibrant tribute to Copenhagen’s culinary evolution. Both a working butcher and a highly acclaimed restaurant, Fleisch occupies an atmospheric space where exposed pipes and high ceilings recall the area’s gritty industrial past. As soon as you walk in, the aroma of oak-smoked delicacies and dry-aged steaks fills the air, setting the tone for a meal rooted in uncompromising craft. Highlighting Denmark’s best free-range meats, the menu flows with dishes like slow-roasted pork belly, perfectly cooked steaks, and inventive sausages, often served alongside house-made pickles and locally baked breads. The open kitchen and glass display cases showcase both the chef’s artistry and the traceability of every cut. A well-chosen beer and cocktail list draws Vesterbro’s creative crowd and food lovers city-wide; this is a place where conviviality reigns and plates are made to share. Beyond the mains, Fleisch is known for its chef’s charcuterie board and bold, updated takes on classics like tartare and terrine. The space retains much of its original charm: white-tiled walls, industrial lighting, and repurposed butcher’s blocks as tables. Weekend brunches are lively, with diners from all walks of life savoring hearty platters in a space buzzing with the history of Copenhagen’s working-class heritage. Reservations are highly recommended, as the restaurant’s reputation for quality and atmosphere make it a popular destination year-round. While prices are at the higher end, the quality—along with knowledgeable, friendly service—more than justifies the expense. For anyone passionate about Nordic food culture, Fleisch offers an immersive experience that connects Copenhagen’s culinary present to its storied past.
