The capital city of Italy’s historic Mercato di Testaccio got a fresh start in the 21st-century when it relocated from Piazza Testaccio to a light-filled modern building powered primarily by solar energy. The Danish don’t enjoy raw herring as they do in the Netherlands – instead, they prefer their herring smoke, fried or pickled, served on an open-faced sandwich. Herrings are one of the most popular fish in any Baltic country, and Denmark is not an exception to the rule.

I had a curry with vegetables and mock duck. It was good but too much deep fried stuff for my taste. I didn’t realize it was individual kernels of corn deep fried in batter, I thought it was going to be more of a small pancake type fritter. Food-wise, I had the corn fritters for an appetizer. The server could have given a heads up at the beginning at the very least. This is the reason I’m only giving 3 stars. The server explained that the prices were updated but not in the menu. The menus are not updated with the prices so make sure to double check. The decor is not the focus of this spot although they have some cute Victorian touches at the front of the restaurant.
