Apollo sits in the courtyard of Kunsthal Charlottenborg on Kongens Nytorv, inside the old building of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in central Copenhagen. It is Frederik Bille Brahe's second place after Atelier September, and unlike that one, Apollo stays open into the evening. The “and party” in the title is not decorative.
The kitchen is run together with Yuta Kurahashi, which explains why the Japanese elements are precise rather than simply a stylistic flourish. There are 104 recipes, Danish at the base with French, Italian and Japanese layers on top, and almost everything is easier to cook than it looks.
The book is as much about the room as it is about the food. How the interiors, art and ceramics came together, which friends did what, and how a place in a museum courtyard becomes somewhere people seek out for reasons other than hunger. That is what Apartamento does best: they publish an interiors magazine and look at restaurants accordingly.
If you are only going to own one of his two books, the difference is simple. Atelier September is morning and calm, Apollo is evening and wine. Choose according to what kind of host you are.
