The Pescatarian

Pescetarianism is the fastest growing trend within gastronomy. The word is a contraction of the Italian Pesce (fish) and the English vegetarian, and the concept covers a vegetarian diet consisting of fruit and vegetables with added seafood.

The Pescatarian is located on Amaliegade 49, 1256 Copenhagen, which is just a five-minute walk from big attractions such as Frederik’s Church and Amalienborg. The restaurant’s interior is homey, which gives the restaurant a relaxed and warm vibe. The tables are decorated with flowers and the seats with puffy pillows.

The Team Behind the Pescatarian

The team behind The Pescatarian is a collection of some of the most passionate and dedicated people within the restaurant industry. The Pescatarian is the second restaurant by Johan Burich-Holck, who is also the man behind the Bib Gourmand restaurant Marv & Ben.

In addition to a high gastronomic level, he emphasizes health and the environment: The co-owner and restaurant manager Mikkel Hjort Nielsen will provide an unforgettable service. The head chef Jesper Steffen is also a co-owner. He has previously juggled the kitchen utensils on Studio, Kokkedal Castle and Skovshoved Hotel.

Food & Wine

The menu will consist of many small dishes with fish, seafood and vegetables focusing on sustainability and organic produce. The guests can look forward to a great dining experience and world-class service. In addition, seafood is a healthy and climate-friendly alternative to red meat, says Johan Burich-Holck.

The man responsible for the wine profile is Jonas Herlitschek. He is a sommelier and very aware of the fact that wines need to fit with seafood dishes. The wine list has a focus on acid-driven, mineral and balanced white wines. At the Pescatarian, they are playing with champagnes, and Germany and Austrian white wines. Burgundy and Jurrasic will also have a large spot on the map, same as at Marv & Ben. The Pescatarian is characterized by high quality at liberal prices.
