Nr.30 Spisested & Vinbar

The Verdict

If you want a late-night wine-forward spot in Copenhagen that doesn't ask you to commit to a tasting menu or a formal dining room, Nr.30 Spisested & Vinbar on Nansensgade is the more accessible answer to what places like a|o|c do at a higher price point. It has held the Star Wine List number one position three consecutive years (2020, 2021, 2022) and earned an Opinionated About Dining Casual in Europe recognition in 2025, which positions it as a serious wine destination that also happens to serve food — not the other way around. With a Google rating of 4.6 from over 200 reviews, it delivers consistently. Book this if wine is your priority and you want a room that stays relevant into the evening without the ceremony of a fine-dining commitment.

About Nr.30

Nr.30 sits on Nansensgade, a street in central Copenhagen that has become one of the city's more reliable corridors for independent restaurants and bars. The venue operates as both a restaurant (spisested) and wine bar (vinbar), which means it serves two audiences simultaneously: people who want a full meal and people who arrive later, after dinner elsewhere, for a glass and something small. That dual format is relevant to how you should plan your visit.

The wine program is the clear reason to be here. Three consecutive Star Wine List number one rankings through 2020 to 2022 are not casual credentials — that recognition reflects a list with genuine depth, curation, and the kind of by-the-glass selection that makes the bar format viable for serious drinkers. The 2025 OAD Casual Europe listing reinforces that the kitchen has kept pace: this is not a wine shop with plates on the side, it is a place where both components are taken seriously.

For a special occasion or a date in Copenhagen, Nr.30 works well when you want an atmosphere that feels considered without being stiff. The wine bar format means the room tends to have energy without the hushed formality of somewhere like Geranium. If you are celebrating but would rather spend the evening talking than following a multi-course structure, this format suits that. Compare it against Kadeau if you want more kitchen ambition, or against Alchemist if occasion-dining is the goal , Nr.30 sits well below both in formality and, likely, in price.

The late-night angle is worth taking seriously. Copenhagen's fine-dining circuit , Noma, Geranium, Koan , finishes early and leaves limited options for continued drinking at a quality level. Nr.30's wine bar operation means it functions as a genuine destination for post-dinner wine, not just a fallback. If you are building an evening around multiple stops, it works as an anchor for the second half. The Nansensgade address keeps it accessible from the city centre without requiring a significant detour.

Price data is not in the public record for this venue, but the combination of casual OAD recognition and wine-bar format places it below the €€€€ tasting-menu tier that defines most of Copenhagen's awarded restaurants.

If you are visiting Denmark and want to compare the wine-forward dining approach across the country, Jordnær in Gentofte and Frederikshøj in Aarhus offer different reference points. For Modern European parallels outside Denmark, Aulis London and La Rei Natura by Michelangelo Mammoliti in Serralunga d'Alba are worth knowing.
