Service was amazing! Enjoyed the food with a view of the garden and the peacocks. Able to…read moreaccommodate me earlier than my reservation!

There is a backstory on how I ended up here. My first time in Copenhagen and determined to eat…read morelocal, the breakfast dish that kept showing up in my search was Øllebrød (Danish beer/rye bread porridge). It pops up in many foodie searches but it turns out to be difficult to find. On the taxi ride in from the airport, the driver told me he had eaten it as a child but no one spends the time to make it anymore. He did not think I would be able to find it. Menu searches for it show that most of the restaurants that were reviewed for serving it have now gone out of business. By luck, I happened upon the Nimb Brasserie. This place serves as the Nimb Hotel restaurant and the hotel appears to be a very nice, boutique style place that I wished I was staying at instead of the big box chain behemoth hotel just down the road. The location is next door to Tivoli amusement park and the brasserie outdoor deck area overlooks the fun. Inside, it has a restored but historic feel. I was there at breakfast when a full breakfast buffet was on offer and is what typical hotel guests are offered. Øllebrød is not part of the buffet. Normally, Øllebrød is only on their room service menu. They made a couple of exceptions for me as I was not staying at the hotel ordering room service and I was not interested in the full buffet. The staff (particularly Abby and Destiny) made an exception for me when they found out that I was specifically there on a Øllebrød pilgrimage. That was exceptional, customer centered service and a job well done in showing me the best that Copenhagen has to offer. As for the Øllebrød, it was creamy, malty, nutty, and even hinted of chocolate like a good pint of Guinness! It was quite enjoyable on a cold morning and I don't usually like cereal based breakfast foods. I can't believe it is so hard to find this dish in Denmark. I do recommend it if you get the chance to stay here and order room service. This was a really enjoyable visit for me to the Nimb Brasserie, albeit singularly goal oriented. I was there for 1 room service menu item and nothing else. I was thankfully impressed at how the staff accommodated me for this and I found the setting to be such a nice place to take in some local people watching. Based on all of that, I would love to stay at The Nimb on my next visit and would definitely be happy to eat Øllebrød again even if I have to get it from room service!

Had passed Pastis a few times while visiting Norreport and decided to give it a try…read more I called ahead to find out they stop serving food/kitchen closes (beverages are availabile) from 3:30-5:30 as a break between lunch and dinner. I arrived around 3 and decided to do the two course meal. I wanted Foie Gras as the second course so the server suggested the Nicoise Salad instead of the Chèvre Salad (next time) which was great advice. This salad was amazing! Perfect combo of Tuna (sashimi), anchovies, haricots verts, olives with a light dressing. The Foie Gras was also very good. The staff was attentive and friendly. Probably the top French restaurant in Copenhagen. I will be back to try some of the main courses.

You know a restaurant's food isn't that memorable if you instead recall walking into the restaurant…read moreroom and I lovely blonde woman walks out past you as your mouth hangs open. "I must be in the wrong room!" I sputtered embarrassingly. She laughed and said with a smile "unisex!" Ah wonderful Copenhagen. So, once I'd confirmed my gender, I took out pronouns back to our table and finished my order. I tease with complete good natured seriousness! Few my age "get" the binary and gender-complex array of people and respect it and again;: Denmark: cutting edge of common sense. But Pastis was not remotely the same or similar to the long gone Pastis of the Meatpacking district if the West Village, a much missed true bôite francaise d'NYC. Steak frite was tough with gristle and somewhat cold. Fries are fries. No Tuborg or Carlsberg! Quelle horreur! Still, the convivial and graceful staff, the people watching outside and more made it a pleasant miss. At one point an electric car crunched glass along the curb and minutes later, a Pastisian was out sweeping it up. Tak!
