BASALT

B A S A L T's signature dessert 'Snobrød - Twisted Bread'

 
 
 
 

True fireballs. Literally. That is how to describe the passionate chefs' team at the AC Hotel Bella Sky Copenhagen's increasingly popular restaurant B A S A L T. The new venue, which opened less than a year ago, has already shot to fame due to its humble celebration of fire and nature, offering a menu based on what fire can create - and it all comes at reasonable prices too.

 

Raw, smoky and tasty

Restaurant B A S A L T's cuisine takes its point of departure in scouting the surroundings and using local produce, picking and gathering what the seasons give: Fresh, raw and pure. And just like our ancestors have done for millennia, Martin Nilsson-Møller and the enthusiastic team use fermentation and conservation to refine the natural - a time-consuming affair, indeed, but always worth the effort, if one asks B A S A L T's dedicated team.

 

"B A S A L T is about fire and food prepared over fire. Perhaps you recall the smell and taste of twisted bread on sticks prepared over an open campfire as a child, and the feeling of not being able to control one's impatience with the process. At B A S A L T we take a similar approach, and apart from prompting joy and perhaps even happy childhood memories, our 'campfire cuisine' creates delicious flavors too," Martin Nilsson-Møller explains.

 

"The fire allows us to tame the wild and to create something exceptional. It is a great gathering point and gastronomic tool, that allows us to create and construct clean, simple taste experiences in a Nordic context to the delight of our guests," Nilsson-Møller adds.

 

Rave reviews

'Chocking culinary experience'. 'Got to be the best deal in Copenhagen'. 'Most amazing meal at Basalt'.
