Radio – calling new Nordic
While new restaurants have been mushrooming in the rest of Copenhagen, inner Frederiksberg (though technically not Copenhagen) has been rather deserted on the (hip) restaurant front.

Retour – Oubæk back on bistro track
The address Tordenskjoldsgade 11 in central Copenhagen has hosted no less than 3 restaurants over the past 2 years.
