Restaurant Palægade 2.0
The smørrebrød restaurant that tragically burned down on March 11th, 2020, will reopen on May 1. Palægade will serve classic Danish open-faced sandwiches for lunch and a more French-leaning menu in the evening, with oysters, turbot, and steak au poivre among the dishes. The Formel B group is still the owner of the restaurant, but the front and back of house team is brand new (the old team went on to open Møntergade). Luckas Jensen (former sous chef at Formel B) is the head chef, Gustav Vilholm (formerly of Tyven & Kokken) leads the front of house, and Johan Henrik Kirketerp-Møller is the restaurant manager and sommelier.
