This burger bar offshoot of noma was born during lockdown in summer 2020, originally launching as a short-lived but hugely popular pop-up in the restaurant garden before being given its own permanent home in Christianshavn, just across the harbour from Nyhavn. Noma burgers may be a tad pricier than the burger norm but then they’re not your average fast food. The beef comes from organic farms on Denmark’s west coast and preparing the vegan option involves a two-day process in the noma fermentation lab, transforming steamed quinoa into umami-flavoured patties.

Nestled in the heart of Copenhagen’s incredibly hygge Christianshavn neighborhood, Popl Burger is famous for one thing: its burger. This cozy eatery, founded by the world-renowned, 3-Michelin-starred Noma chefs, focuses on high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. The star of the menu, the Popl Burger, made with grass-fed beef, smoked mayo, and pickled red onions, is a testament to their commitment to quality.

When Noma opened a pop-up burger shack in its restaurant during the pandemic, people stood in line for hours, and guests and reviewers were quick to call it the world's best burger. Have a taste for yourself at this new, permanent burger restaurant, located on an iconic corner on a quay.

It’s a burger bar, yes, but born from the brilliance of the Noma team, who experimented with a shift into more accessible, concept place to eat. POPL is in the picturesque Christianshavn neighbourhood, and serves up melt-in-your-mouth burgers that elevate the norm. The organic beef is, naturally, from free-to-roam cows; the POPL team has formed relationships with the best biodynamic farmers, fermenters, brewers and winemakers and say that dedication to quality, innovation, cooking and environmental consideration is its backbone.

The fine dining chefs and fermentation experts of Noma started Popl during the pandemic, but the burger restaurant has set down permanent roots. The signature cheeseburger features beef from organic cattle farms in Denmark, cooked in butter and glazed with beef garum. The veggie burgers are also some of the city’s best, made with urban-farmed lion’s mane mushrooms or fermented quinoa with tempeh spores, glazed with yeast garum, fava bean shoyu, and smoked vegan butter.

The team behind the famous Danish restaurant noma spent months developing the recipes for their burger restaurant POPL in a fermentation lab. The restaurant opened in 2020, and the result of their vegetarian and vegan burger patties is cooked quinoa which goes through a two-day process to become patties. POPL comes from the Latin word ‘populus’ meaning community of people, but it also is a nod to respecting nature, as the name also refers to poplar wood.

People who say that no good thing came out of COVID-19 are liars because in Copenhagen we got the NOMA burger. So basically all the restaurants had to shut down and could only be open for take-away – you know the drill – and NOMA quickly turned their restaurant into the most amazing burger joint in the city. People would head out to the restaurant, then wait in line for hours, just to sit in the beautiful garden and eat a burger.

– comes this downtown burger joint that undoubtedly serves the best patties in town. Veggies are well catered for with the fermented quinoa tempeh burger, while everyone else must order the outrageously delicious cheeseburger with beef garum, onion, burger sauce and nothing else. Their sides are limited in choice – like any decent burger bar – but incredibly satisfying, and include beef-fat fries, pickles and ice cream for pud.

Another fancy burger place, which I didn't get a chance to eat at, but our 'Politically Incorrect Tours', tour guide recommended as it was started by a former NOMA employee. For those who don't know, NOMA is basically the best restaurant in the world and a major reason Denmark has the highest per capita Michelin Star restaurants in the world - because anyone who works there then starts their own gig gets awards.

What started as a take-out, pop-up burger bar at Noma during the summer lockdown of 2020 has come to stay. Located on the waterfront in the rebellious neighbourhood of Christianshavn, Popl serves burgers with organic Danish beef. Given equal consideration, Popl’s quinoa vegan burgers go through a two-day process to become patties, which are handmade in Noma’s fermentation lab.

The burger-meal I was served in Popl - Noma’s down-to-earth sister diner - last weekend was the best beef-patty-in-a-bun I have ever eaten. Which is saying something because my burger-eating career began 48 years ago when I first discovered the luxury version of pressed-mince-beef delights in the Texas, which many would argue is the spiritual home of the beef burger.

POPL is a burger restaurant created by a team of Noma chefs!. If you’re looking for a Noma experience (without a Noma price tag) you’re going to want to add POPL to your list on where to eat in Copenhagen. The name POPL is inspired by the Latin word “populus,” which means a community of people.

Originally a pickup concept in their restaurant during lockdowns, it now has its own location. You can sit inside or takeaway, a great option as it’s close to a good spot next to the water. Don’t hesitate to try their vegetarian option either, as it’s just as delicious.

Located right by the bridge to Nyhavn, this restaurant serves a variety of burgers such as organic beef, fish, deer, lion’s mane or vegetarian – and they do not disappoint. The décor is inspired by Japanese izakaya bars with an open and warm Scandinavian feeling.

Brand Manager Uta can’t get enough of the POPL Burger, a burger place from the world’s best restaurant Noma. Next to classic Burgers you can order vegetarian or even vegan Burgers. The vegan patty is made out of fermented Quinoa and tastes amazing.

Floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings and a location by the water add to this fast-food restaurant’s appeal. Not exclusively vegan, but the plant-based patties are worth a visit. The team developed a vegan option with cooked quinoa.

POPL Burger, it was an absolute hit when Noma opened their burger spot in Nyhavn during the pandemic, but it wasn’t until recently I had the chance to try their spicy vegan burger, and it was a dream. Price is a bit up there though.
