Very nice, but maybe over-hyped

Maybe I read too many reviews, but the service we got was definitely not as good as we were expecting. The Italian waiter's accent was so strong we could only understand half of what he said, and I don't think the service was anything above the ordinary.
The food however was very nice. We had the weekend tasting menu and really enjoyed it. The additional 75kr mushrooms were delicious.
We spent just over 2000kr for two people, including 2x 3 wine match, 3 cocktails and the extra mushrooms and it was all very nice.
If I'm honest though, I don't think I'd bother going back.

Pros: Food was good, Nice restaurant , Not far from home!

Cons: I think it's a bit overpriced , Didn't get the great service everyone raves about

Huge recommendation

Visited Bistro Lupa many times and I'm equally amazed every time. Friendly waiters, AMAZING food with huge focus on sustainability. With each dish you get a short story about the locally grown veggies. Love it!

Good vegan fine dining option

We got the set menu and really enjoyed it. The main course, orzo in a tomato sauce and a nut based ricotta, was particularly excellent. This was also one of my partner’s favorite desserts in Copenhagen. It was a matcha ice cream in a rhubarb sauce.

Magia vegana

Senza alcun dubbio, il miglior ristorante vegano in cui sia mai stata. Piatti strepitosi, bevande sensazionali (soprattutto la kombucha), personale simpaticissimo!

Perfect

Everything was wonderful, from the staff to the food to the drinks. We had the non-alcoholic pairing to the tasting menu and had an absolutely fantastic evening. Lucien was a darling, as was everyone else. The food and drinks were exquisite, imaginative and unusual. We were slightly late, but welcomed beautifully. Thank you for a perfect evening.

Pros: The food, The drinks, The staff

Exquisite!

This was the final piece of the Ark Collection we didn’t try. And my oh my, what a lovely time we had. Excellent staff, making sure we had everything we needed. Very well explained dishes and thoughts around them, as well as asking curiously for feedback.

Since we had the 5 course tasting menu, we really appreciated being involved with the thoughts and feedback around the dishes. Having the mocktail pairing, was the right choice. From tasty kombucha to exquisite ice tea… wow!

Pros: Cozy atmosphere , Lovely staff, Excellent taste

Date night tasting menu

Searching for vegan places to come while in Copenhagen and came across Michelin vegan restaurants Ark and Lupa so immediately knew I had to book!

We came here on a Saturday night for a valentines treat on our overnight stay in Copenhagen. Saturday night there is only the option for the 5 course tasting menu. The wine list has a lot of natural wines that I am not familiar with so we went with the 3 wine tasting option as well.

Bistró Lupa has a philosophy of using local foods and they forage for ingredients in Copenhagen. My favourite dishes were the celeriac pasta, flat bread and the apple strudel dessert. Oh my god. Yum!

Staff are really nice and attentive. They even topped up our wine glasses! Ambience is effortlessly Scandi cool. Recommend the corner window seat for a cosy romantic dinner for two.

Bistró Lupa has a Michelin Green rating demonstrating its commitment to sustainability.

Pros: Fully vegan / delicious menu, Sustainable , Staff

Delicious food, but disappointing experience

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

Pros: Delicious food, Great service , Courses came out quickly

Cons: Menu lacked a good flow , Portions were too small / not satisfying , Expensive

Best bistro in cph.

An excellent and cheaper alternative to ARK, their sister restaurant has nothing to envy. I love their dishes, their concept and their service.

Simply outstanding

We were absolutely enchanted by Bistro Lupa, our server was so friendly and knowledgeable and suggested the tasting menu which did not disappoint. Every dish was perfection and we were so excited to see what each course was going to be like. The dessert was so delicate and absolutely delicious, as well. By far our favourite dish were the Korean fried mushrooms. Hands down best dish of the night. But the most secret and best surprise was the slider we added on to our tasting menu. We could not get over how good it was! Absolutely do not bypass the slider add-on, it's so worth it!

Pros: Mushrooms, Frangipane dessert, Slider!

A splendid dining experience

This was a splurge for me and worth it. Each dish is made with many local organic ingredients delicately spiced with an awareness of flavor, texture, and color. Such inventive fresh dishes and all together filling. Definitely add the fried blue oyster mushrooms. They are sublime. The service matches the food. If I am ever in Copenhagen again I will go directly to Bistro Lupa.

Pros: The commitment to sustainability , Extraordinary food, Excellent service and ambiance

Worth it!

The 5 course menu we had was excellent. We added the fried mushrooms that did not disappoint as well; fresh blue oyster mushrooms covered in a really thic crust plus tasty tamarind sauce - unbelievably tasty.

We also loved the concept of sharing. It made the dinner quite relaxed.

Pros: Good Service, Taste, Atmosphere

Too notch

One of my favorite places in Copenhagen. Food is always extremely tasty and fresh. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. The place is warm and cosy, they have a nice selection of vegan wines and drinks as well. I have been here 3 times and never left disappointed. If you haven't tried Bistro Lupa you definitely have to go. I will absolutely visit again sometime.

Incredible

Visited in February 2023. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. I booked this as a treat for myself as I’ve never had the opportunity to experience a vegan tasting menu before. The restaurant is pricey but so worth it. I loved the concept of sustainability and using locally-grown and seasonal ingredients. The lovely waiting staff talked us through each dish as it came out and there were dishes I really enjoyed that I never would’ve ordered if it wasn’t a tasting menu. Highly recommend this experience to any vegan or non-vegan food lover.

Pros: Creative dishes, Tasty, Experience

Cons: Hard to get to on public transport

Forgettable

Hailed as a "fine dining" experience, yet they proudly present us with "vegan fried chicken" as a signature dish. Intriguing choice 🤔. While there were some fleeting moments of palatable pleasure – a nod to the cinnamon cap mushrooms and summer salad – the majority of the menu danced gracefully between average and forgettable. Special shout-out to the eggplant main that came adorned with "crunchy quinoa", a peculiar choice which kind of felt like I was at a construction site, nibbling on some gourmet gravel.

The ambiance is casual and lively but tables are crammed so tightly you're practically invited into your neighbor's conversation, whether you like it or not.

The real deal

They grow their own mushrooms; they forage for food, save elements of previous dishes for their next zero waste conscious menu and choose their compositions for local sustainable sourcing practices.

Add to that a delightful five course prefixe with drink pairing options, alcoholic and nonalcoholic, and you’ve got a fine dining experience that tastes as good as it feels.

Table conversation raved that the arrival smell of each dish was just as divine as the tasting experience to follow. Eat with all five senses here.

Pros: Such intentional practices, Full sensory experience, Rotating five course menu

Cons: None!
