Nordvest is bursting with unique spots to enjoy a glass of wine, whether you're in the mood for a relaxed afternoon sip or a full dining experience paired with natural wines. Here are some of the best places to explore the wine scene in this vibrant neighborhood.
--------
Flere Fugle – Wine and More in a Cozy Nordic Setting
Flere Fugle started as a café and bakery in early 2022, quickly becoming a Nordvest favorite. Though known for their incredible bread, pastries, and chai lattes served in handmade Julie Damhus cups, the wine is what truly elevates this spot.
Over the past two years, Flere Fugle has expanded its menu to include pizzas and a wider selection of drinks. Pairing these casual, delicious bites with a glass of wine has made it a great dinner destination. During the summer, the real magic happens when you grab a pizza and head over to Fire Tyve’s tables next door for a perfectly paired wine.
Whether you’re there for a quiet weekday afternoon or a lively weekend evening, Flere Fugle is an ideal spot for wine lovers who appreciate a relaxed, unpretentious vibe.
Kima – Natural Wine Meets Inventive Small Plates
Kima, the third restaurant from the team behind Omar and Lamar, has quickly become a must-visit for its natural wine selection and thoughtfully crafted small plates. The staff’s knowledge of wine is one of the highlights—they offer spot-on pairings to match their menu of fresh vegetables, fish, and meat dishes.
The wine list changes regularly, so there’s always something new to try. Whether you’re stopping by for a glass or planning a full meal, Kima offers an intimate, buzzing atmosphere perfect for wine enthusiasts.
In the summer, you can sip your wine outside while enjoying the neighborhood’s energy, and in colder months, heaters make outdoor seating cozy.
Fire Tyve – A Laid-Back Wine Bar with a Great Selection

Fire Tyve has long been a Nordvest staple for natural wine lovers. Previously located in Demokrati Garage, they’re moving to a larger space near the main station, set to open in spring 2025. This move promises more seating and potentially an expanded menu, but the laid-back, raw vibe that made Fire Tyve special will remain.
Their wine selection is always on point, offering a great mix of classics and new finds. It’s a fantastic spot to settle in with a glass or two, and the casual setting makes it perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a solo wine moment. Keep an eye out for their reopening—it’s bound to be a hit.
Autopoul – The No-Frills, So Nordvest Wine Spot

Autopoul captures the essence of Nordvest with its stripped-down charm. Located in what looks like an old car repair shop, this spot is all about great natural wine and a laid-back crowd. The outdoor area, plastic chairs, and garage setting might be simple, but they’ve managed to turn it into one of the most vibrant places in the city for wine.
Autopoul is only open during the warmer months, making it a seasonal favorite. Its survival was uncertain for a time, but thankfully it’s staying open for another season. If you’re in the mood for an unpretentious wine experience that feels quintessentially Nordvest, Autopoul is the place to go.
BONUS! Wine Stores!
Vin de Table – A Natural Wine Gem
Vin de Table, located at Frederikssundsvej 33, is a must-visit for anyone serious about natural wine. As the flagship store of Melin Vin—the company I trusted for all the wine at my wedding—it’s my second favorite wine shop in all of Copenhagen, right after Rosforth & Rosforth. The fact that it’s just a five-minute walk from my apartment is a major bonus!
The staff at Vin de Table are incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. Even though I’m not a wine expert, they always help me find the right bottle, and many of their recommendations end up on my "buy-again" list. They’re also a delivery point for Birkemosegaard vegetable boxes, making it a convenient stop for wine and fresh produce.
For those wanting to enjoy Melin Vin’s selections in a bar setting, their only bar, Josephine, is located in Amager. I’m also trying to nudge Vin de Table into organizing wine tastings—who knows, it might happen one day!
Whether you’re grabbing a bottle for dinner or starting your wine journey, Vin de Table is an essential stop in Nordvest.
Høtoft – A Hidden Gem for Central and Eastern European Wines
Høtoft is one of those places you'd only find if you're looking for it — tucked away in a small street of Nordvest. This little wine shop specializes exclusively in Central and Eastern European wines, making it a dream destination for anyone curious about Slovenian, Georgian, or Hungarian bottles. The owners, a passionate couple, are always ready to guide you to your next favorite wine — whether you have a clear idea of what you're after or just a vague craving. Their descriptions are wonderfully down-to-earth, making it easy to imagine the wine before even opening the bottle. Be sure to check their opening hours before heading over, as they're only open a few days a week — but it's well worth planning your visit around it.

No matter your wine preference or mood, Nordvest has something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a casual glass with friends, an inventive wine pairing with dinner, or a bottle to take home, this neighborhood is filled with fantastic options waiting to be explored.
