Sommelier & Owner
Thorsteinsson's
Hey, I'm Stig! I'm the sommelier and owner of Thorsteinsson's in Ørestad. I love natural wines, some tasty snacks and to have some laughs. I opened the place 2 years ago with the wish to create a place for like-minded people in the very outskirts of Copenhagen.

Toto
wine bar
amager
» Toto has an awesome menu every time I'm there. It really calls for a lot of things to be tried. The winelist is long and diverse, and there's always packed. I love to sit at the bar sipping a glass and digging into the snack sized dishes. «
» If I were to go for a bottle of wine to go, some specialty beers or some epic hot sauces, I'd visit the super friendly and cool guy Russell at Pulp Wine in Valby. He has a great pallette, sources wine from all over the world and takes pride in choosing honest and well produced natural wines. He's a keen hot sauce lover and has quite a selection covering the whole Schoville-spectrum. «

Il Buco
bakery, breakfast, brunch, café, dinner, lunch, natural wine, open sundays, pasta
amager
» The favorite hangout for me and my family. I love the fact that they're open all day, so we can pop by for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The ambience is super cool and cozy, and the service is easy and down to earth. Being a dad to a small boy and having your own business doesn't allow for much going out, so we often end here on a Sunday morning for a slow breakfast. «

BRUS
beer, brewery, burger, dinner, lunch
nørrebro
» After 2 years in Aarhus I moved back to Copenhagen, and lived in Nørrebro for half a year before moving back to my beloved Amager. In Nørrebro there wasn't a week where I didn't go to Brus for one of the great ToØl beers, a few bar snacks, their fermented fries and to hang out outside. Now and then I still go back here, just to reminisce the good old days before fatherhood ;) «
