Pluto

Top choice in Copenhagen


Loud, convivial Pluto is not short of friends, and for good reason: superfun soundtrack, attentive staff and beautiful, simple dishes by respected local chef Rasmus Oubæk. Whether it's flawlessly seared cod with seasonal carrots or a side of new potatoes, funky truffles and green beans in a mussel broth, the family-style menu is all about letting the produce sing.

The bistro has a solid selection of charcuterie and smoked meats, and some interesting natural wines, as well as bar seating (especially great for solo diners). The kitchen closes at 10pm Monday to Thursday, 11pm Friday and Saturday, and 9.30pm Sunday.
