Free flowing - No fancy feelings

Uformel

In 2014, Uformel opened its doors in the rougher part of Studiestræde – an area that wasn’t exactly known for its gourmet experiences at the time. The location had previously housed the legendary strip club Wonder Bar, and it wasn’t the kind of place where one would expect to find an ambitious restaurant. It was a far cry from the familiar and comfortable world of formel B, where the team had already established themselves as a culinary beacon.

The question that quickly arose was: *Would guests even make their way down here?* After all, Uformel was the sister restaurant to formel B, and expectations were high – both from the team and from guests who had come to appreciate their unique approach to gastronomy.

But the guests came. And not only did they come – they returned again and again. However, some visitors arrived with different expectations, perhaps hoping to find the old Wonder Bar at the address. It soon became clear, though, that Uformel was here to make its mark on the Copenhagen dining scene.

Today, ten years later, Uformel has established itself as one of the key and respected players in Copenhagen’s restaurant landscape. With its relaxed yet stylish atmosphere and a menu that showcases the best seasonal ingredients, the restaurant has succeeded in making fine dining accessible to everyone. Here, you can enjoy a high-level meal without breaking the bank. The wine list is carefully curated to complement the dishes and offers guests the chance to explore exciting wines without exceeding their budget.

Uformel is driven by the same passion that defines formel B, and behind it all are Rune Amgild Jochumsen and Kristian Arpe-Møller. Along with Martin Iuel-Brockdorff Bek and Frederik Alexander Rudkjøbing, they have created a restaurant where quality and accessibility go hand in hand – a place where both local and international guests feel welcome and at home. Today, Uformel is synonymous with modern, informal fine dining, and it’s a place people keep returning to, whether for the food, the wine, or the inviting atmosphere.

Martin Iuel-Brockdorff Bek

Sommelier & restaurant manager.

Martin has a classic backstory from Le Sommelier and Krog’s Fish Restaurant and was involved from the very beginning when Rune and Kristian took over formel B over 15 years ago. Two times he has been awarded the Serving of the year award by the Danish Food Critic association. His love for juicy wines from places like Burgundy, Piedmont and northern Rhone is clear when exploring the winelist at Uformel. 

Frederik Alexander Rudkjøbing

Headchef

As former souschef at formel B, Frederik’s task was to convey formel B’s classical universe in a more informal tone. After 6 years in charge, Frederik has managed to create a kitchen where both classic and more challenging dishes are part of a constantly evolving menu. Prior to becoming part of Formula B’s restaurant family, Frederik was an intern at Attica in Australia and In de Wulf in Belgium. Frederik was also assistant to Rasmus Kofoed from 2009 to 2011, when Rasmus won the Bocuse d’Or.
