I was interested in this cafe due to a picture featured in my Denmark travel book…read more
It is located in the beautiful neighborhood of Christianshavn.. (where I also wanted to visit Kirke.) on a cobblestoned street.
"Café Wilder is one of the oldest and most charming cafés in Christianshavn, and it is always packed with high-spirited regulars. The atmosphere is relaxed, multicultural and multilingual."
The food served at Wilder is very good- you will find Danish options such as cod, mussels, steak tartare, grilled duck sausage and burgers.
I chose the Vegetarian burger made from Panko fried celery, bread crumbs, raclette cheese, sauerkraut cornichon, onion confit and special sauce. Pommes frites with aioli accompanied the burger. I opted to skip the raclette ( too strong a cheese for me) and the sauerkraut which I'm not a fan.
I must admit, this is one of the best veggie burgers I have ever had.. I know it's a pretty powerful statement. Additionally, I dislike celery and was not going to order this, however, I took a chance. I was glad I did as I enjoyed every bite.
I chose a Sauvignon Blanc to wash it down , and it too was delicious.
The vibe here is very French bistro or if you are a New Yorker, it reminds me very much of Odeon in Lower Manhattan, which I love.
There are other menu options which were not offered to me: The Board which consists of amuse bouche, entree and dessert served all day.
The service was professional and kind.. I know there are rarely substitutions on the menu as the chef prepares to his vision. But I do wish there could have been a cheese substitute.
That is a minor issue.
I enjoyed eating in style and relaxing post another Danish tour.
Take M1( yellow line) to Christshavn stop and walk toward Wildersgarde, @5 minute walk. It is located on a quiet street.
