What is it? Måurice is a Nordic and French-inspired lunch restaurant in a charming, all-white dining room.
Why we love it: Måurice is transporting. Even on a dreary day, the restaurant radiates brightness, often filled with dried flowers and delicate desserts. The menu changes seasonally, but cross your fingers for raw oysters, smørrebrød (Scandinavian open-faced sandwiches) and Måurice’s famous quiche.
Time Out tip: From time to time they’ll serve miniature macarons, which are both worth it for the photo op and the melt-in-your-mouth nickel-sized bite of heaven. Also, their wine list is expertly curated, if you’re in the mood for a lunchtime glass.
