About Grimal

Grimal is a traditional bistro, where you can find traditional French food, many different snacks and a cosy, easy-going atmosphere. There is room at the bar for eating or having a drink while waiting for a table, and tables outside that would are the preferred places to sit in summer.

The wine list has a focus on the French wines, with Burgundy, the Loire and Jura as the main players. There are some ‘outsiders’ both from the Old World and the US, with a large portion of the list devoted to Italian reds. The vintages are mainly from the past five years, with a sprinkling of older wines.

Building a great wine list is obviously all about what you choose to put in it. But it is as important to consider what not to list. You simply can't list all the wines of the world. This year's Grand Prix winner is best described as being completely on point with its selections and has clearly put a lot of effort into choosing what to let out. It also offers remarkable value and it’s a list built for wine lovers, by wine lovers, says jury member Christian Thorsholt Jacobsen about the winning Grand Prix list 2023.

A short but very well-chosen selection of wines. Very clearly presented. Choosing a small list is often hard but this one covers all tastes and desires, says Ronan Sayburn about Grimal winning gold for Best Short List 2023.

This is how one does a smaller wine list - wonderfully varied and very carefully selected wines representing a broad spectrum of new wave, natural and classics. A delicious and thoughtful point of view with excellent, insightful picks without costing the earth!! – Judge Stephen Wong MW commenting on Grimal's win for Best Short List at the Star Wine List of the Year Denmark 2024 competition.

Crafting a compelling short wine list can be more challenging than creating an extensive one. This is a clever, cool and concise wine list that showcases an exciting range – from classic producers to emerging trends – with something to delight every palate. Very appealing![Gold Star: Best Short List – Star Wine List of the Year International Final 2025.]

Making a great wine list exciting for every guest, every palate, every price, with less than 200 references, is the hardest thing to do. Yet this restaurant strikes again! Bravo to the team for continuing to be on the pulse while paying tribute to the classics. [Best Short List – Star Wine List of the Year Denmark 2025.]
