About us
Our Mission
Restaurant Carl Nielsen opened in July 2020 in premises at Toldbodgade 5, where Carl Nielsen lived with his family from 1905 to 1915, hence the name of the restaurant.
Carl Nielsen wrote the melody for Solen er so rød mor, which is one of our signature dishes. A stir-fried tartare with an egg yolk colored with beetroot juice, so it looks like the red evening sun.
Maskarade is an opera that Carl Nielsen performed in 1906. That piece has also led to our having a signature piece, which is potato pieces tossed in a lovage mayo, which is masked with dehydrated carrot chips.
Our Philosophy
Carl Nielsen had a bad heart and was recommended by the doctors to find a leisure activity where he could relax as a counterbalance to the stressful work with the symphonies. He therefore started knitting, which is why we have home-knitted towels in our bathroom.
We bake our own rye bread based on Lis’s recipe with her sourdough, which was made in December 2019.
We take pride in serving our guests so that they have a desire to return before they leave the restaurant.
We also take pride in serving well-prepared open sandwiches and menus on our evening menu.
