Nørrebro Bryghus, a brewpub...

I guess the first question is: what is a brewpub?

A brewpub is a microbrewery, which also serves food or is combined with a pub/restaurant operation.

Logically the second question is: what is a microbrewery? Well, check out on Wikipedia ;-)

Back to the subject matter. I haven't been at Nørrebro Bryghus probably one year or so, but when I go there, I'm always satisfied. This was a special occasion so enjoyment was amplified.

Nørrebro Brewery is founded by Anders Kissmeyer a former Head of Department at Carlsberg and believe me, this guy know a thing or two about brewing a world beer!

We had 8 course tasting menu paired by 8 course beer menu (9 SMALL glasses):


Sugar salted scallop with smoked marrow foam, pickled mussels and sea buck-thorn...


garlic soup...


my friends Dame and Tony...


cassoulet of pork shank boiled in porter, served with cherry pure and goats fromage...


view on barrels full of beer...


Fish of the day served with rosti, celery pure and tomato concasse. Finished with browned butter flavored with truffle. Simply delicious!


Brest of cockerel with creamed potatoes, peas and spinach...


cheese...


wood sorrel sorbet served on wheat kernel porridge and berries...


and... now we are seriously full... Apple Mazarin with NY lager, chocolate and hazelnut ice cream. Done!

Everything was tasteful and amazingly paired with a glass of beer.

A completely different experience and reasonably priced; dinner from about 50€ to 120€ per person, including beer menu.

Highly recommended.

Restaurant & Lounge Eight

Østergade 13 address is... well... quite dynamic. In the pass few years I've visited at least 3-4 different restaurant, clubs, lounge... at the same address, and unfortunately they opened and not for a long, they simply closed the venue.

This time, I've visited a new Restaurant & Lounge Eight, which is much smaller, if not half of the size in compartment with previous concepts. In my opinion sound business for this period...

We had 3 course dinner:


Baked crab pot and red grape fruit ginger sorbet


Pollack fillet in a light curry batter


White chocolate, apple yokes, almond pesto & green olives

Quite creative and tasteful fusion with an emphasis on fresh Nordic ingredients.

Reasonable priced restaurant; will set you back about 65€ per person for 3 course dinner including wine.

If you are around, visit it and enjoy few cocktails after dinner.

Prsuta 3 wine bar on Hvar Island

No doubt, Prsuta 3 is the coziest wine bar on Hvar Island, if not in Dalmacia.


I'm chilling out with a glass of Cara Prosip

This place is run by Vidan a friendly and open minded person. One feels more like being at home than a guest at the bar.

It's obviously, to me anyway, he inherited this hospitality from his father barba Ive who runs a deli shop at the green market.

I've been there quite a few time and had a chance to sample dozen... if not more wines from it's extensive library...

I’m pleased to share with you some of my notes (My thoughts on Croatian wine).


When you are hungry, order a plate of a classic dalmatian antipasto.

Vidan pays special attention to the antipasti choices on his menu, and offers a mix of home made prosciutto, cheese, bread, olive and tartufi oil...

Guests are coming from everywhere and all are drunken with the good atmosphere... poets, lawyers, preachers, gamblers... and of course, engineers wanna-a-be opera, wine, food, art critic ;-)

If you are around, go for it.
