Radio works with local fishermen using low-impact methods. The fish arrives fresh and is prepared simply — perhaps poached, roasted, or cured depending on the catch and season. No fancy techniques — the goal is to let quality speak. Some months feature white fish, others shellfish or oily fish.
Tips from diners
Tuesday-Thursday menus often feature fish courses — these are fresher than the weekend, when older stock might be used.
Desserts at Radio are seasonal and restrained — the kitchen adds touches of luxury (caviar, truffle) sparingly when it makes sense. The focus remains on seasonal fruit or herbs. It's not a showstopper, but a clean finish that doesn't overwhelm.
Tips from diners
Skip wine pairings here — Radio's desserts are light and don't need it. Order coffee or tea instead.
Radio's philosophy: vegetables lead, protein follows. Each month, the kitchen features what's optimal in the season — spring peas, summer tomatoes, autumn squash, winter roots. Preparation is minimal, often raw or steamed to preserve the vegetable's personality. This changes entirely each month, so no two visits are the same.
Tips from diners
Visit the website monthly to see what's featured — if a vegetable is in season and on the menu, that's what to order.
A lighter protein option than game, featuring heritage birds from organic farms. The kitchen sources consistently from the same producers, so the poultry quality is reliable. Cooking is straightforward — roasted to preserve the meat's flavor with minimal sauce.
Tips from diners
Order poultry if you're uncertain about game — it's less intense and lets you focus on the restaurant's vegetable approach.
Radio has established relationships with specific hunters on Lolland (south of Copenhagen). The game might be venison, wild boar, pheasant, or hare depending on the season and available hunting. It's paired with vegetables and a sauce that complement rather than mask the meat's character.
Tips from diners
October-December feature the best game courses — this is prime hunting season in Denmark.
