Always comforting to my 75% Danish sanguine heritage to dine in a place claiming to be a spot Hans…read moreChristian Andersen chowed down at. The antiquities and wall art, the dancing live candles, and impossibly odd layout of the bathroom alone were all authentic. A bit odd for me and another patron in the loo to have me swing open my door to the only stall, only to find him standing there recycling some Pilsner! We both laughed - what are you going to do do? Now. Reservations. As suspected, not necessary at 6 pm on a Wednesday. I made one, being politely naive. As I came into the cellar eatery, braining myself on a low beam, the diminutive waiter snorted a giggle then made a bit of a show of it to search out where single me would sit. Turns out 75% of four room were empty. Still how could I complain? Try what I did: follow the reservation rules then break them by showing up to try your luck. I'm sure Dave's have been doing that since 1720. $95.00 later however...no Tuborg or Carlsberg - just a fast talking waiter in - I kid you not - a man's white undershirt assuring me all Pilsners were the same. Nope. He lost interest in stopping by my table, instead pollinating the other four double occupancy tables like a busy bee. That got a bit tedious after finishing dinner and sitting there listening to a gratingly loud Swedish girl and what looked like Stellan Skårsgard hanging on to his snaps like a conversational life preserver. First I ordered the exorbitantly priced three pieces of cheese from Bornholm, the little island three hours away that Russia tried keeping after WW II ended. But like the Russo taste for freedom, their flavor was somewhat nonexistent but the jam was tasty - two types - yes I ordered the desert cheese because the appetizers were unappetizing to my Jersian palette . Now the main course of Roast Pork - Flæskesteg! Served with white and caramelized potatoes, pickled red cabbage, and gravy! On a scale of 10 perhaps a 7 with the gravy being the most sublime. Yes I know they say Hans wrote the Ugly Duckling here But I've been to the Caffe Trieste where Francis Ford Coppola wrote the Godfather in the North Beach area of 'Frisco. You come for the story but stay for the food. Realizing a desert would only result in still more of the slowest service since Chania in Crete, I called it a night. Saved myself from topping $100 for a so so but very cozy dinkng experience. Perhaps I'm searching for the elusive sublime authentic Danish dinner in vain. No one cooks like my Mom did. But maybe I should eat what Andersen ate which is lovingly recounted on. their website: The famous Danish poet frequented the The Little Pharmacy every day in 1854, while he wrote The Ugly Duckling and enjoying the lunch and a snaps. H. C. Andersen's favorite dish was 3 kinds of herring with onion, capers, bread, fat and butter. Imagine what can come from a good herring and a snaps...apparently a hideous water fowl and tons of clamoring child fans!

The worker taking orders was pleasant and helpful. I got their minced beef patty (aka a hamburger without the bun), with a small side salad and fries. This was only so-so. The burger could have used mustard and ketchup- I used the curry mayo for the fries to liven up the meat. The fries were just OK. They looked as if they'd be crispy but they were a bit soggy. On the other hand my wife got the fried fish on white bread with shrimp and asparagus and she loved it! It was pleasant enough to sit outside on their patio but they do have a small indoor space. This place is Old school...

The wait staff wears I can describe as country-style Danish traditional clothes. We didn't have reservations and were seated immediately in one of the several dining rooms. We started with an appetizer called Lojrom, which is the roe of a local fish called vendace and creme fraiche. It was outstanding. I had venison, which locally referred to as Sommerbuck, for my entree. This was in a wine reduction and a variety of vegetables. Again, wonderful. My wife had another meat dish which I unfortunately didn't record the name of although I have a photo. Our son had salmon. Everything was delicious, beautifully plated and skillfully prepared. The food is a reflection of traditional Danish fare, certainly adapted and elevated, but the roots of classic Nordic food shine through. Overall, Peder Oxe exceeded my expectations, as you can see from the reviews here there seems to be many who felt less impressed. Our experience here was great and I recommend this to anyone.

The restaurant was full of patrons so we took that as a sign that the food was good. The restaurant's atmosphere was old world charming, inviting, and casual. Service was good. Also helped that you could turn a light on above the table, and they would come to assist us. Dover Sole was one of the entrees my wife and I shared. The Dover Sole tasted good, but we had difficulty truly enjoying it because of all the tiny bones. For us, it took away from the experience. (3 stars) Sirloin Steak was the other entree we shared. We enjoyed this succulent piece of meat. It tasted delicious with all its accompaniments and baked potato. (4 stars) Well, we were not ecstatic about our experience here. 3.5 stars overall. Judging from all the folks that were here, they seem to be popular. Peder Oxe is a restaurant to try if you are craving Danish and French Cuisine in Copenhagen cause all these folks can't be wrong.
