  Cozy place with delicious food and great service. Every single dish we tried as bursting with flavor, beautifully plated, and overall a pleasure to eat. I really enjoyed their “pasta” dish and the dessert. The extra mushroom course was not worth it in my opinion and I would not recommend it. However, despite a positive food experience could not give Lupa five stars because I left hungry and disappointed. The meal did not build up as one went from a course to the next. That is, there was no dish that felt like a “main” but rather the entire meal felt like small appetizers and then you got a dessert. I love tasting menu experiences but this one felt like it was missing something. None of the dishes featured any protein or something (other than bread) that would really satisfy, and portions were small considering it was only 5 (and realistically 4 because some dishes came together and were shared) courses. Given the fact that the only option is the five course menu, It was especially frustrating to feel like all these delicious small dishes built up my expectations of a sumptuous main and I was left disappointed. Dessert, at least, was delicious and likely my favorite dish. Overall, I would not return and cannot fully recommend stopping by. For the price tag you can eat better elsewhere

  We went to Lupa 2 weeks ago and we liked it so much! The service was really great and the food amazing, we tasted new combinations of flavors and genuine products : fried mushrooms are the best! The wine selection is also really interesting!! You have really to try this restaurant!!

  This was my first meal in Copenhagen, my best dining experience, and the most expensive, but incredibly tasty. I'm allergic to milk and beef, so the plant-based menu was highly appealing. The price is higher (it IS Denmark) but the quality of food and service are well-matched. I got to have lovely chats with my French and Danish servers between courses. Even as a solo diner, I was treated as well as a party of four. I did the full dinner menu of six courses (including dessert), 3 wines, and the add-on fried oyster mushrooms. As I told the server, if I had only had the mushrooms, the meal would've been worth every penny. The chipotle glaze was delicious and they had a great crunch! From online reservation, to entry where I was given a table instead of just the bar, to throughout the meal, I loved every minute of my time at Lupa.

  Went during dining week with my mum and girlfriend. All of us were very happy. Vegan food that is done right :) The only dish that was just "good" was what they called the main, which featured cauliflower, which we love. Other than that we found every single dish to be amazing, oftentimes surprising as well. Definitely a restaurant to put on your list when in Copenhagen.

  We celebrated New Year's Eve at Bistro Lupa. We had a lovely evening, but unfortunately, the food was a bit disappointing. The evening started with a cognac drink – too strong and not to everyone's liking. It would have been nice to have a glass of champagne instead. The snacks were superb. The potato starter was quite bland, mostly tasting like raw potatoes and dill oil. The milk bread was delicious, the beet tartare was mediocre, and we didn't bother finishing the celery-seaweed pasta. The fried cauliflower was tasty, potato croquettes were good, but the red cabbage was too tough to eat. The mushrooms were also a letdown – grilled too little and more of a "blop" than anything else.The mushrooms were something we were looking forward to the most. The dessert was fine. Regarding the petit fours: 2/3 were inedible. The small chocolate biscuit had no flavor, the gel was imbalanced with too much citric acid, and the pistachio ball tasted like velour pants. We've dined at Ark, Beyla, and Bistro Lupa before, and unfortunately, Bistro Lupa has been the most disappointing among the Ark Collections restaurants. We might not return but will stick to Ark or Veve, the vegan fine dining restaurants that consistently meet our expectations.
