EXECUTIVE CHEF
Elias Berg
Elias Berg spent six years at the pass of one of Copenhagen's defining New Nordic kitchens before stepping away from professional kitchens entirely. For a year he lived in the forests of northern Sweden, foraging, fermenting, and cooking almost exclusively over open fire. He returned to Copenhagen in 2017 and opened Sable the following year with a single rule for his kitchen: nothing is cooked without flame.
"Fire doesn't hide a mistake. It only shows you the truth of the ingredient."
— Elias Berg

Team
Freja Holm — Head Sommelier
Freja joined Sable in 2019 after five years managing natural wine lists across Copenhagen and the Loire Valley. She built Sable's cellar bottle by bottle, with a focus on small growers and nothing manipulated in the cellar.
Anders Lund — Restaurant Director
Anders has run the dining room since Sable's opening night, and works hand in hand with Elias to keep service as unhurried and precise as the kitchen itself.
