Important: This restaurant had been closed and just recently opened. Therefore, the earlier reviews may not fairly reflect the current menu or quality of this restaurant, which was really quite good. This might explain the discrepancy between what I experienced vs. other earlier reviews.
The Blue Elephant is a Thai restaurant in the Radisson Blu hotel in Copenhagen. I don't know if they remodeled the restaurant, but it is stunning. The ambiance is a 6 out of 5 experience.
We found the service to be fine, so no complaints there. Most importantly, the food was really good.
They served complementary crispy and addictive poppdoms, which is a deep fried, very favorable kind of cracker. For an entree, I had the stir fried pork dish and that was tasty and filling. As a side, I had what they called "steamed rice" which is really underselling the combination of basmati rice and another highly flavorful rice. This was excellent.
My wife had the pineapple fried rice with chicken which was a show-stopper in terms of presentation. It was excellent.
Summary: Although the other reviews are pretty mediocre, give this place a chance if you are staying in the hotel. We enjoyed it a lot. read more
