COPENHAGEN Popl Burger

Trip: Europe September 2023

Since Noma, the three-Michelin star restaurant run by chef Rene Redzepi, is all booked up through the end of 2024 when they will close down, we did the next best thing.

We booked a reservation at POPL Burger, serving Noma's burgers, for our first night in Copenhagen.

POPL Burger is a 15-minute walk from Noma, and their most popular order is the cheeseburger, made with a potato bun and dry-aged flank steak seasoned with beef garum before being cooked in butter and topped with organic cheedar cheese, red onion, and a burger sauce of mayo, tomato sauce and pickles. Don't ask them to add lettuce and tomato, because they won't customize it in any way for you.

We shared the cheeseburger (of course) and the Lion's Mane sandwich, which is a mushroom burger that takes three days to complete. Both were amazing.

Recommendation: highly recommended.

Make a reservation ahead of time to make sure you can get a table.
