Paté Paté in Copenhagen's Meatpacking District - Remodelista
On a trip to Copenhagen a few years back, I made a pilgrimage to Paté Paté, located in the city’s once-gritty, now-fashionable Kí¸dbyen meatpacking district. Photography courtesy of Paté Paté, unless otherwise noted. A venture started by brothers Kenn and Dan Husted (who also own the swinging wine bar Bidendum), Paté Paté focuses on rustic European cuisine and wine from around the world, served in a salvage-chic ambience. The Husted brothers stripped the interior (a former paté factory) down to its bones, painted the interior white, and used vintage windows to create room dividers.

The moulding in the front of the restaurant is painted in a rich blue. Old maps and factory windows are seen throughout the restaurant. Wallpaper made of black-and-white magazine prints.

The Boucherie sign references the restaurant’s past life as a paté factory. A mounted skull leads the way.
