A HANDPICKED JOURNEY BETWEEN SEA, FORREST AND FIELD
Paula is Carlsberg Byen’s luxury bistro — created on the historic square meters where the Carlsberg spring once flowed and where the foundation of Denmark’s beer culture was laid. Today, water remains the source of all life, and with us it forms the setting for grand taste experiences on an intimate scale.
At Paula, classic French craftsmanship meets Nordic purity and Japanese precision. Here, flavor is in full bloom. We call it green hedonism: a kitchen where seasonal produce and respect for nature go hand in hand with everything one dreams of when it comes to indulgence. For us, extravagance is both lobster and craftsmanship, both oysters and organic vegetables, both caviar and potatoes — naturally enriched with plenty of butter, cream, and the desire to truly enjoy.
Yet the freedom to choose for yourself is what makes us truly unique. We are that place with a certain atmosphere — where you can settle in and enjoy a glass and a single dish, or immerse yourself in an entire evening that feels like pure abundance. The choice is yours.
MEET HEAD CHEF STEFAN HANSEN
With experience from Michelin-starred restaurants like Kong Hans Kælder and Frederiksminde, head chef Stefan Hansen brings his craft to a more informal setting.
In Stefan’s kitchen, flavour, ingredient quality, and technique always come first.
MEET RESTAURANT MANAGER NILS SONNE ANDERSEN
With more than 11 years of experience in the industry as both a trained waiter and a graduate in service management, he has a sharp eye for hospitality and detail, and always selects the finest wines from the cellar to complete your evening.
A PART OF LOCA
Paula is part of LOCA – the same team behind DOLRES, ALMANAK in the Opera House, RADIO, and KILDEN in the gardens of Tivoli. What unites all our restaurants is a respect for ingredients, responsible supplier choices, and a natural local connection. We want the food we serve to make a difference – for you as a guest, for our colleagues, for nature, and for the future.
PAULA is LOCA values on a plate. We work closely with small producers, sustainable fisheries, and free-range animals, because we believe taste and conscience should go hand in hand. Here, you are free to choose your own path through the menu – just as we choose our own path in the industry.
We believe that the freedom to choose is the greatest luxury. Flavor is at its best when it follows the season. And everything feels better when it can be shared with others.
