We didn’t know it was this restaurant, but we’ve been looking forward to encountering a restaurant like Amass for a long time. Restaurants like this are few and far between, where solid groundwork and craftsmanship is combined with great ideas to create an experience that has substance and meaning in addition to being extremely enjoyable.

The restaurant features a pared back industrial design combined with Scandinavian furniture. The two grey and black gigantic murals are just beautiful and colorful details which stand out from the textured, grey walls. It feels edgy and high-end at the same time, but most importantly appropriate based on the building and area the restaurant is situated in. The chairs are really comfortable with an attentive, helpful staff. This makes it a very enjoyable to spend an afternoon here. Even though you’d think most guests take a car to get here due to the location, most sported walking shoes.

Chef Matt Orlando shares exactly how he runs the kitchen as it’s completely open to the dining room and all interactions can be seen and heard. Whenever a the order to a new party is sent to the kitchen a loud call to arms can be heard, but otherwise it’s quiet and efficient. In the dining room, all chefs take turns to present the dishes to the diners, including Matt himself, which puts us as diners closer to the skilled craftsmen that creates them. This makes them personally responsible and unable to hide to the customer, but it also gives us a chance to give credit where credit is due.

The five course menu is 695 DKK with wine pairing for 425 DKK. In addition an extended menu for 895 DKK is available for dinner and a reduced lunch menu for 395 DKK. At these prices Amass provides great value for the money, but more than that it’s an international-level experience regardless of price.
