Pick whatever you like at Roots in Østerbro — It’s always aperitivo hour at this Mediterranean wine bar, kitchen, and bottle shop by the lakes

Known for supplying bottles to Copenhagen’s Michelin-starred restaurants, this Mediterranean-leaning wine bar, kitchen, and bottle shop by the lakes draws anyone craving killer low-intervention wines—and the plates to match. The mood is relaxed, the dishes hit all the right notes, and the team always seems to know your next favorite pour.

At Roots, the Mediterranean is served by the glass and the plate. Sommeliers pour bold Piedmontese reds, sparkling wines from Franciacorta, and deep-cut European finds, while the open kitchen works in tandem: Silky vitello tonnato. Oeuf mayonnaise crowned with ’nduja mayo and crisp puntarelle. Saffron-infused arancini packed with salsiccia and finished with Parmesan. Mezze and charcuterie spreads built for sharing.

Come for a glass, stay for a table full of craveable flavors, or swing by for a bottle to take home. Here, aperitivo hour doesn’t end until you decide it does.
