Wine shop and bar in Indre By, Copenhagen

Ved Stranden 10

The Address Is the Name

4 of 5

When a wine bar names itself after its street number, it is telling you it plans to stay. Ved Stranden 10 has been pouring on this stretch of the canal in the old centre since 2009, as a shop and a bar in one set of rooms, and in that time it has become a fixture of every list of the city's wine bars worth the name. It earns the spot without raising its voice.

The wine leans natural and biodynamic, with bottles you can drink in the bar or carry home. There is no reservation book. The house line is that happy feet and an open mind are the only requirements, and they mean it. Wednesdays bring a tasting, sometimes led by guests from other wine bars. Monday Meal, the evening of proper cooking, has become a monthly affair on the last Monday. The rest of the time the kitchen does cheese, charcuterie, a few other delicacies, and a croque monsieur that is listed as inevitable.

Go on a weekday right at three, take a seat by the window and ask what was opened today. In summer the terrace on the canal is the best seat in the old town. This is a room worth crossing the city for. Its sister bar, Admiralgade 26, is a short walk away when you want dinner after.
