I like the concept with many small dishes to choose from. You can do with 3-4 dishes unless you are very hungry. The food is packed with flavour. Wine is fairly priced and the service good and attentive. My best recommendation is "will I come back?" oh yes I will!! More

Formel B serves the most delicious meals and have some great vines. It's quite expensive, but it's worth it! The only disappointing thing was the waiter he was quite snobbish. More

Visiting Copenhagen over Easter, we wanted to enjoy one of the 'fine' restaurants on offer and sadly could not get a booking at Noma. Narrowing the options down to 5 other choices we settled on Formel B, which was a bus ride from our Nyhavn hotel, near Vesterbro. Easy to locate, we were welcomed into the moderately busy restaurant at... More

All four dishes were very tasty and rich. The compositions are excellent and light so you leave full but not heavy. The service was fine but nothing special and the english presentation of the dishes were not convincing and clear. We were seated very close to other tables which can be disturbing if you want to have a private conversation. More

3/4 dishes were really great. First was lame. Ok, I selected them myself. Waiter wasn't that interested of guiding us with the wines, which was disapointing. I also think that value for money was not that good. Allthou the food itself was great! More

Romantic setting. We went here the evening before going to Noma. Fantastic food well sourced and excellent use of in season ingredients. Highlight was turbot on veal tail with an immense deep green parsley jus -breathtaking! Great wine selection. Expensive? Well if you think it's expensive you did not do your homework before stepping foot in Scandinavia and ordering alcohol.... More

This restaurant is great for any occassion. It has a very warm, romantic feel. The menu is very interesting and the service is excellent. The portions are not large - but that is because they encourage you to order 3-4 choices. The kitchen is located behind a large glass window so you can view the cooking process. Great wine list....

We were 10 people from various countries who wanted to go to Formel B. The menu is very interesting with many dishes all at 125 DKK and since several of us are food lovers, this place was perfect. However, we were told to order in advance - and the same - which took the fun out of it. The food... More
