Huks Fluks: Wine and Tapas on Gråbrødretorv

Huks Fluks is a restaurant, wine bar, and tapas spot on Gråbrødretorv in central Copenhagen. It presents itself as an informal place to share wine and food, with a Southern European feel in the heart of the city. The square has historic roots linked to Franciscan monks, and the restaurant pairs that setting with seasonal cooking in an intimate space.

The menu centers on tapas, Iberian cured meats, and dishes to share, alongside wines, cava, and cocktails. It includes Ibérico ham cured for extended periods, as well as main courses, desserts, and a wine list focused mainly on Europe.

A Menu for Sharing: Tapas, Ibérico, and Main Courses

The menu is divided into several sections. Tapas and snacks include marinated olives, Marcona almonds, grilled baby squid, shrimp pil-pil, Padrón peppers, anchovies in vinegar, roasted squash, and bread with tomato and cebo Ibérico ham. Several tapas can be combined in sets of two, three, or five.

The Ibérico section focuses on Pata Negra, with 24-month Cebo Ibérico, 36-month Bellota Ibérico, or a combination of the two. A charcuterie board also features Pata Negra, chorizo, selected cheeses, olives, Marcona almonds, cornichons, pickled red onion, and seasonal fruit.

Starters include onion soup, salmon tartare, beef tartare, mushroom toast, and the Huks Fluks tasting menu: three courses of house specialties designed for sharing by at least two people, with optional wine pairings.

Main courses include saffron mussels with fries, whole grilled sole, Ibérico pork pluma, steak frites, a Huks Fluks burger, and grilled cauliflower, among other dishes. Desserts include Basque cheesecake, crème brûlée, dark chocolate mousse, and petit fours.

A Wine List with a European Accent

The wine list focuses mainly on Europe, with a strong selection from France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. It includes white, red, rosé, and sparkling wines, as well as Port and sweet wines. Regions represented include Mosel, Gascony, Languedoc-Roussillon, the Loire, Burgundy, the Rhône, Provence, Bordeaux, Beaujolais, Jura, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, Terra Alta, Penedès, Veneto, and Douro.

Most wines are available by the glass and bottle, while some are sold by the bottle only. The restaurant says its goal is to help guests choose a suitable bottle without requiring prior wine knowledge, using accessible explanations.

Drinks, Cocktails, and Nonalcoholic Options

The drinks menu includes cocktails such as Aperol Spritz, Elderflower Spritz, Limoncello Spritz, Campari Spritz, Amaretto Sour, Gin & Tonic, Negroni, Espresso Martini, and Margarita. It also offers draft and bottled beer, including organic and nonalcoholic options; soft drinks; still or sparkling filtered water; organic French-press coffee; espresso, Americano, cortado, cappuccino, café latte, and iced latte; and a selection of A.C. Perch’s teas.

The after-dinner drinks and liqueur list includes limoncello, Armagnac, Calvados, Baileys, Cointreau, Du Peyrat VS, and sambuca, along with house-made aquavit, 12-year Aberlour single-malt whisky, and Du Peyrat cognac.

Events, Celebrations, and Private Spaces

Huks Fluks has spaces for celebrations and events, from intimate dinners to parties with tapas and cava. The restaurant describes two rooms: a green room overlooking the square and a brown room for more intimate dinners. It also hosts meetings, events, and Christmas celebrations, with options to reserve private rooms or areas of the main restaurant.

Each Thursday, the restaurant also holds informal wine tastings around a long table, featuring five glasses to sample, charcuterie, and a final glass.
