They serve traditional food so I got the catch of the day which was cooked in a butter caper sauce and hubby got the lamb which was very good but fattier than what we were used to. It's a one man show so he takes your order, busses your table, makes your drinks and brings out your food. He's good but don't be afraid to flag him down if you need something. Super chill ambiance. Fun place to have dinner.

Vækst is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Copenhagen. Tucked into the city center with its…read moresignature greenhouse aesthetic, it offers one of the coziest dining vibes in CPH. Every visit feels like stepping into a calm little oasis. Their seasonal prix fixe menu is always a highlight. The chefs at Vækst have a real talent for taking fresh, local ingredients and turning them into something both comforting and exciting. Each course is thoughtful, balanced, and full of bright Nordic flavors. I've never had a meal there that didn't feel memorable. Whether you're going for a special occasion or just want an evening of genuinely great food in a cozy setting, Vækst delivers every time. It's the place I recommend to anyone looking for an authentic, beautifully crafted Copenhagen dining experience.

You can really taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients in every dish, and the presentation was just as impressive. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire meal and service.

Restaurant Tight is one of those spots in Copenhagen that hits the perfect balance between cozy and…read morespacious. Despite its warm, intimate vibe, the restaurant actually has plenty of room, spread across two floors so you never feel cramped, even on a busy evening. It's a great place to settle in for a relaxed meal without feeling rushed. Their menu offers both à la carte options and a prix fixe, which makes it easy to tailor the experience depending on your mood. One dish I always look forward to is their mushroom toast, It's rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying. Their fish dishes are also consistently excellent, cooked with care and full of fresh, bright flavors. Whether you're looking for a comfortable dinner spot or a place to enjoy well-prepared Nordic-inspired dishes, Restaurant Tight is a solid choice. It's the kind of restaurant you walk out of already planning your next visit.

I never thought I would be saying this about porridge of all things. But, Grød truly opened my eyes…read morein terms of how I could prepare my daily oatmeal. We tried Grød at two locations: the Torvehallerne market and at 7Eleven. The market, I ordered the Oat Porridge which came with apples, roasted almonds and caramel sauce, my mom had the All In! and my dad had the oat waffle. All of us (mostly) left satisfied. My picky father loved his waffle. And I really enjoyed the porridge I had. The oats perfectly cooked, the apples and almonds gave it a nice textural contrast. Plus the caramel, which was more like a dulce de leche added the perfect amount of sweetness without being too sweet. My mom was a bit ambivalent because the All In was too sweet. But to be fair, All In includes all of their toppings. Including chocolate and caramel so her assessment was fair! The Grød at 7Eleven had this wonderful chia pudding, layered with yogurt, natural peanut butter, a berry compote and nuts and I was obsessed. So simple, yet so wholesome. I found a cup at the airport and proceeded to import it back to the States. Overall, it was definitely worth a visit (or 2) to have my mind blown. Grød may not have intended it but this lil Westerner is now leveling up her oats game thanks to their menu!

I only took off one star because the time it took us to get our first course was about 40-45 minutes after being seated since they got the order wrong and the ravioli in the main course was lacking in flavor. Everything else about the meal was SO good- the cheeses in our charcuterie course was AMAZING (I'm not even someone who likes cheese). And I cleaned my plate for the creme brulee dessert! The portion sizes were also very generous - we all wished we came with an emptier stomach! Just make sure you come with a lot of time to spare because we didn't leave until 11pm.

My parents and I landed in Copenhagen in the evening and searched Yelp for a dinner spot close to…read moreour Airbnb. This restaurant popped up as the first recommendation. We were interested in trying the Scandinavian cuisine, so we decided to stop by. The menu had an English section, which we appreciated. The waitstaff was friendly and patient with us. We ordered the mussel soup to share (absolutely divine. We should have ordered one for each of us instead of sharing it! It was so good!), the truffle chicken (the chicken was cooked so perfectly and was extremely tender and juicy), and the linguine (super fresh and perfectly al dente with a rich sauce). The bread with whipped butter was also great. I think the butter had truffle in it, but I'm not positive. It was delicious. The restaurant is located next to the King's Gardens and is a short walk from Norreport St metro station. The ambience is comfortable and intimate; definitely a neighborhood gem. I'm so happy we tried this place!

Brownie points sincerely for still being open at 1130pm and onwards until 2am... YES TWO AM!!…read moreAs someone who was rushing from the airport after landing at 1012pm, I truly appreciated that a local spot was still open... even though the streets were empty and we were the only table. I ordered the DANISH NATIONAL DISH and FRIED LIVER (I believe they are #19 and #20 on the menu). Interestingly, the server recommended something similar (another pork belly dish) over the national dish; stating it tastes much better and much softer... which I probably should have went with this recommendation since the national dish was TOUGH AS BONES. It wasn't crispy, chewy, or tasty. It was simply inedible. One couldn't even chew or cut through the meat... the side of skin on mini/small potatoes were simply boiled. The beet dish was delicious. The sauce didn't have much flavor (crazy how extra sauce costs 35 DKK more). The VEAL LIVER dish tasted better than the national dish ironically. Gave a tremendous portion. The potatoes were skinned. The gravy had some taste compared to the other sauce from the national dish. Decadent pickled cucumbers which provided a nice palate cleanser. Mushrooms gave a nice chew, a much appreciated and welcomed different texture. ***the bread given was not good at all*** ***it seems that water, even if it's from the sink or obviously bottled by them, costs money in any establishment*** SERVICE: Kind. Attentive. Enthusiastic. Spirited. Happy. Since it was our first meal in Copenhagen we were a tad blown away by the price tag of each meal to the point we thought it was a meal set. The server calmed down those nerves and reassured us that all dishes on the menu were à la carte. Loved the small talk he attempted :) VIBEZ: Still had Christmas/holiday decor haha. Great for a night out/date. Casual with a sprinkling of fine dining. No service fees included in the bill. Great for large groups. Located in the city. Didn't have a car; therefore, I cannot vouch for parking. Close walk from/to the metro though! Would I come back? No, but I am elated I can cross off trying the danish national dish on my bucket list. :)

Beautiful place and food. Excellent service! This restaurant deserves 5 starts across the board…read more The owner recommended Grillet laks which is Grilled salmon served with sautéed seasonal vegetables and tarragon sauce. The salmon it's self was cooked perfectly. Gently grilled on the outside and moist on the inside, and vegetables were perfectly seasoned. The sauce on the fish was an excellent touch. All in all, it was worth the $. He also recommended Carlsberg Pilsner. Beer that is popular in Denmark. I was tempted to get another one! And finally the desert. Wow, I would fly back to Copenhagen just for this! He recommended the Gammeldags æblekage (apple strudel), it was divine. Thank you for the excellent food and service. 10/10.

There were outside tables, but it was a bit chilly, so we opted for the nearly deserted inside restaurant. We had a table near the window, so it was a great view. The restaurant was nicely decorated and the service was very friendly. I ordered the gravlax open-faced sandwich, which is smoked salmon (very similar to lox) on an excellent sour dough bread. I opted to skip the mustard sauce, but the sandwich was perfect. My wife had the potato open-faced sandwich, which consisted of new potatoes, organic rye bread, lemon mayonnaise (romaleid), fried onions and pickled pearl onions. She really enjoyed it, along with her Spritz drink. Denmark seems to be one of those countries, where you cannot order tap water. Fair enough. However, our water consisted of an open carafe (which I'm sure was tap water), for which we were charged 50 Krona ($8). This seems high for tap water.

Staff had a "I don't wanna be here attitude"... we were definitely a bother. Went for the burger,…read morecouldn't add cheese, staffed stated food was not made there, so no modifications. Settled on fried fish and shrimp croquettes (ok). We knew it was a tourist trap, but we were looking for better service. Great location on a beautiful day, if not for the excitement of being in the city... the staff could have destroyed it. On vacation, looking to order a drink, I was advised they only had what was on the menu... mind you, as you look around, the establishment next door was rocking a full bar! In my opinion, pick a trap with friendly inviting and help staff... not unless you like it that way!

The Jerusalem artichoke was underseasoned, and tasted like dried potatoes. The shaved truffle on the Jerusalem artichoke did not have any taste (1 star off); it seemed decorative only. The prästost was a good hard cheese, but Knäckebröd was a dry cracker, so it was not an open-faced sandwich at all (1 star off). Maybe we ordered the wrong things.
