Llama

Copenhagen


Slinky, sprawling, basement Llama channels New York with its cocktail-rattling barkeeps and dramatic black ceilings, the latter in sharp contrast to Llama's riotously colourful, mismatched tiles. The menu puts creative spins on Latin American flavours, like smoky halibut ceviche rocking it with chilli, roasted corn, mango and leche de tigre (citrus-based marinade), or decadent, tamarind-glazed pork belly with pork rinds and carrot puree.

Most dishes satisfy, though the tacos can be on the dry side. If you're in company, consider opting for the gut-filling, family-style menu (395kr). Last food orders are taken at 10pm.
