RESTAURANT REVIEW
Typically, regional cuisines do not travel all that well, and in order to enjoy them you have to visit the place of origin. But Mads Refslund, who was the chef at Restaurant MR in Copenhagen before he moved his water circulator to this side of the Atlantic, will save you the airfare. Don’t be surprised when Mads sends out dish after dish of super-tasty food, like a serving of barley, scallops and clams; a hip take on chicken and eggs (which features eggs that are fried but runny); foie gras and langoustine with white walnuts and burnt lemon; and rib eye with carrots in a dill sauce. The crowd is hip and super trendy; if you are interested in watching a supermodel eat New Nordic cuisine, this is a good place to do it.
