Jægersborggade

This guide to Jægersborggade in Copenhagen follows chef Christian Puglisi, trained at Noma and El Bulli, who opened his restaurant Relæ in a rundown basement here in 2010, on a street known then for drug dealing rather than dining. It traces how his stripped-back approach, no tablecloths, cheap cutlery, affordable set menus, earned serious attention, and how baristas, ceramicists and designers followed him onto the same block. Listen for the coffee roasters and potters who moved into the old shopfronts along the way.
