POPL - The Noma Burger at Christianshavn
From a pop-up idea by the famous Noma chef, René Redzepi, Popl Restaurant has become a permanent spot for burger gourmets.
"Burger" and "gourmet" sound like a mismatch in one sentence? Not at Popl!
Here, the beloved fast food is transformed into mindful slow food, crafted with the best ingredients and extraordinary Noma expertise.
It's not entirely new that a burger doesn’t have to be questionable minced meat in a soggy white bun.
For several years now, we’ve been enjoying delicious versions made from the finest organic meat in fluffy brioche buns.
But Popl takes it even further!
The classic patty at Popl is made from Danish dry-aged organic beef, while the vegetarian option is a quinoa-tempeh patty.
The preparation also includes Noma’s own fermentation techniques.
The potato brioche is baked by Hart Bageri, another gem from the Noma family, setting new standards.
The bite into a burger bun could hardly be more aromatic.
The incredibly juicy meat and flavorful cheese need nothing more than sweet onions and finely sliced pickles.
On the side, you’ll find a changing selection of seasonal salads and vegetables, carefully prepared and unexpectedly spiced.
A Danish oxheart tomato might be paired with semi-dried strawberries or grilled pepper served with fennel blossoms and a gooseberry dressing.
The fries come with their house spice blend and you can dip them in Popl's mayonnaise or seabuckthorn dip.
If you’re in the mood to take dinner up a notch, you can go for the five-course Popl Menu, which, naturally, includes a burger of your choice.
But we actually prefer ordering the starters à la carte. That way, we end up with delights like fresh oysters from the waters off the Danish island of Rømø or crispy fried fjord shrimp - shells and all - so good we immediately want to order another round.
We enjoy Popl’s Rise and Shine IPA with our meal, but there's also a fine selection of wines, intriguing cocktails, and homemade lemonades.
We left the charming corner house in Christianshavn as instant Popl fans, delighted to discover that even a burger can still be taken to the next level.
