This is probably more a lunch place than dinner, so in a way I feel I'm doing it an injustice…read morereviewing their dinner menu. But nevertheless, here it goes:
Ulrik and I were out strolling about when he said he really wanted a roast pork sandwich - and the first place popping into mind was Meyer's! Way to go sealing that trade mark :-)
Anyway, we were close to the Gammel Kongevej branch and although this is one of the least cosy ones, they still serve a mean pork roast sandwich, so what the heck - we gave it a go.
We came in and the place was as noisy and soulless as ever, but we had our eyes fixed on the prize.
After ordering drinks, the first thing that went wrong was discovering that the roast pork sandwich is only a lunch menu option - seriously, guys: this is why customers come from near and far - make it an all-day-offer! Anyway, slightly disappointed Ulrik chose the second best, a good old Danish favourite, roast pork with parsley sauce and new Danish potatoes, while I convinced the waiter to serve me two portions of the kids plate, the filet of plaice with rye bread and remoulade, to make up a grownup size (how many kids actually eat this anyway?). To finish it off with something, we ordered one of the caramelized pretzels to go.
Verdict: The roast pork was great, crispy, full of flavour and just beautiful; the plaice was slightly less good, a bit wobbly rather than crisp and lacked a bit of taste but still quite decent; and the pretzel was quite the disappointment, tasting old, rubbery and crisp and all together really odd so that went in the trash. The service was spot on, great guy - you just want to hug him.
So why only the 3 stars? - I really don't like the place. It's such a crying out shame that you feel you're sitting on the main track at the train station trying to talk through the din and noise. I really don't care for that so I'll guess it's going to be a while before I return.
Tip: Roast pork sandwich! Roast pork sandwich! Roast pork sandwich!
