Food was good but it was very noisy with a big group sitting beside us. I would enjoy more if it is not a fix course meal because we all (party of 3) got so full before the main course arrived... The first 2 courses (halibut and soup) were amazing and refreshing. The main course (my colleagues had cod and rib eyed, not pictured). My brisket was nicely cooked but nothing surprising. I tried the mushrooms on top of my colleague's rib-eye, I enjoyed the mushrooms more than the protein. Quite pricey as stated by other reviews...especially if one doesn't want mixed couse meal. read more

We tried visiting on a Monday evening with no reservation and the restaurant let us know they were fully booked (which I was a bit surprised about). Luckily, we were able to make a reservation for dinner for the next day! There is an option to go for a la carte or a pre-fixe menu of 4-6 courses. We opted for the 4 course which had a cured haddock, mussel soup with scallop, a stuffed cockerel and dessert. I paid the supplement to upgrade the main to a Hake. Overall, the food was delicious; the ingredients tasted fresh and paired well together but nothing was mind blowing. We did think the mussel soup was a bit too salty. I particularly liked the Hake, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (I had Hake a few days prior and it was on the drier side so was a bit worried) - and particularly enjoyed it more than the cockerel! I also really liked the dessert - there were so many components to a simple looking dessert and everything was so tasty :) Service was just okay. The one thing to note is that they charge a service charge for credit card which isn't clearly stated on the menu anywhere. When we saw it on the bill and asked the waiter, she didn't seem to be fully understand it either but it is what it is read more

The food and service were great. The cost was a bit pricey. What an interesting place to eat. We elected to eat outside. The weather was nice outside but the sidewalk is narrower than most, so it was a bit cramped, yet doable. Our server was super nice and helped us decide on wine and food. We didn't elect for their 4 and 5 course meals. Instead, we ordered ala carte. Here, think Fine Dining Tapas. What we had and how we liked it: - Bread and butter (included with meals): We enjoyed it - Mussel Soup: Very nice - Veal: She loved it - Cod: I loved it - Halibut: Very interesting presentation - decent - BBQ Cauliflower: I liked it - Warm Lettuce Salad: She liked it - Mushroom Toast: We both had this and love it (it was a sub dish for potatoes that didn't arrive today) - Riesling Wine: Very nice Each time a course came out, it was well explained as to what it was. All in all, a very nice meal. My only con would be pricing. It can be spendy. Wine did add about $72 USD. We've eaten at many places here in Copenhagen this week and this is the first time I saw a charge (56 DKK) for water (billed as Vand pr person ad libitum). Similar to some other restaurants, we were charged about 2% Gebyr for using a foreign credit card. We elected to add a 10% tip which our personal custom when traveling in Europe vs, say the US where we usually default to 20% unless service wasn't great and may tip more for exceptional, over the top service. If you're looking for some different and don't mind ordering a number of different small dishes. Reservations are strongly advised. read more

What a great ambiance, we tried to come on a weekend but they required reservations and were booked. So if you're being spontaneous, a rainy Monday night will provide better luck. The service is excellent, it was quiet enough to talk but noisy enough were weren't worried eavesdropping. The flavors were all local and amazing. This is a must try place!!! read more

One of the best meals in my life. I had the five course pairing menu and juice pairing. Every course was better than the last. Very interesting ingredients. Combinations of flavors the helped boost each other. The service was also outstanding. Three waiters helped service my table with ease and confidence. This is a place to impress a date or boss. read more

When you make a reservation for Cofoco, they require a credit card and remind you by email and text that you will be assessed a no show fee. You are told when you need to give the table back. Unfortunately, customers are not offered anything when the service is a no show. We stood in entry for several minutes before being greeted. Servers seemed overwhelmed. Restaurant was full and little food seemed to be coming regularly. No explanations or apologies from anyone. We had to request to order a second round of drinks and dessert. Servers never asked or checked in about how our experience was. We waited over 40 minutes after soup for flatbread and waffle and about the same time for our remaining food. We ordered off the a la carte menu and asked if we had ordered enough food. We were told we had but we had not. A la carte portions seem to be same size as set menu portions but this was not made clear by server. Had everything been served at a reasonable pace, I would have still enjoyed the meal as the small plates were well composed. As it happened, I left the restaurant hungry and severely disappointed. I haven't been this frustrated in a dining experience in an extremely long time. Judging by other reviews, perhaps this was an anomalous experience. It has left such a negative impression, however, that I feel compelled to post this review. Edit: the added fee for credit cards is true and sneaky. Hidden on paper receipt and not disclosed clearly on menu or online. Obnoxious because you know this restaurant is not prepare for anyone to actually pay in cash. read more

Wow. This unique restaurant takes Danish food to a whole new level. I normally don't care for small plates restaurants, but the varied fixed price menu choices in 4, 5 or 6 menu choices makes this a unique experience at an affordable price. While I started out with the idea of taking pictures of each dish, I ended up grabbing my fork first. The service was great and each dish was a work of art that tasted as good as it looked. read more

Our first night in Copenhagen in early September and we decided to start vacation the right way :). Cofoco turned out to be one of our favorite restaurants from our trip. Decided to go for the 4 course menu with wine. Each course had distinctive flavor, was beautifully plated and the four courses was more than enough food as we were full heading into dessert. We had a lovely salad with shrimp and other fresh ingredients, mussel soup, hand pealed shrimps, chives, croutons and edamame beans. Perfectly prepared Monkfish and a tasty dessert with yogurt ice cream, berry coulis and creamy custard. The wines served with the courses were well matched and the pours were substantial. Service throughout the meal was friendly, helpful and efficient. A very relaxing and delicious dinner. Copenhagen is a city full of dining destinations, Cofoco is a very good option. Here are some photos of dinner. read more

Outstanding dining experience. Low key dinner with properly attentive staff - nice wine selection and wonderful food. Highly recommend a visit if in Copenhagen. read more

Food - 5 Service - 5 Value - 5 My wife and I made reservations here for dinner on Friday night, and we both ordered the 5-course set menu (Cofoco stands for Copenhagen Food Consulting). All 5 of the dishes were great, and while several of the dishes contained individual ingredients that I am normally not a fan of, the chef was able to produce dishes where they all "just worked". While all 5 dishes were great, the truly star dishes for us were the raspberry sorbet, mussel soup and the guinea fowl (in that order too). The raspberry sorbet was just on the verge of being too tart, but the other elements in the dish really helped balance it out. The mussel soup (they served scallops instead of mussel for us) was also a favorite of ours. The scallops were so tender and did not make us lament the lack of mussels. The guinea fowl was moist and tender with crispy skin and was a great introduction to guinea fowl for us. I would highly recommend coming here for a meal while in Copenhagen. I think the money spent here is well worth the quality of the meal. Note: The "high wooden chairs" are not the easiest to reposition once you are sitting in them. We noted that many of the diners (including myself) had a few issues trying to scoot the chair closer to the table once we were in the chair itself. read more

An affordable 4 course tasting menu for 275 DKK! Wait, are we still in Copenhagen?! Cofoco is part of a group that stands for Copenhagen Food Consulting. They're known for fine quality food, different restaurants and luxury supermakets. I actually found Cofoco on Google maps searching what's closeby Mikkeller bar in Vesterbro. I'm glad I trusted my gut on this one: reasonable prices for top-notch Nordic food in a casual setting that somehow, still manages to feel elegant. From the baked hake with avocado creme and mashed potatoes to the lightly pan seared cockerel with smoked marrow, these are all ingredients and food pairings I've never had before. My favorite of the night is the blue mussel soup with scallops and pickled goose berries. So heartwarming and delicious! Dessert was a great palate cleanser of rhubarb sorbet with a white chocolate ganache. Our tastebuds were definitely treated to fantastic food! My brother had Carlsberg's Jacobsen beer (go local brew!) and I had the house gin and tonic. The cocktail list is very short and probably not worth the money, but that's alkie in Copenhagen for you! ;-) Otherwise, highly recommended! read more

Spectacular seasonal local food that is prepared and presented with great care. The staff is super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The vegan options were fantastic- especially the kohlrabi. My meat eating family members were very happy too. Would absolutely love to go again soon. read more

Loved this spot. The high points were service all around. Staff were low key but super attentive. Menu was creative and plating, artistic. The food is heavily salted and more dairy/fat than I am accustomed to. The 4 course menu was divine. Loved this place. read more

This should come as no surprise to anyone who's ever been to a Cofoco Restaurant: the namesake of the reputable chain is, quite expectedly, fantastic. I came for dinner amongst a large group celebrating a town hall wedding that took place earlier in the day. We were given an intimate room to ourselves, and despite being relatively secluded and away from the action, our fears of being forgotten never materialized. The staff at Cofoco was patient and helpful, despite the indecisive crowd ("do we want more bubbles, or should we shift to wine?" "how many courses are you getting, I think I'll have three." yadda yadda yadda...), and while we were bad guests and didn't warn the kitchen about my wheat allergy, they gladly baked up some gluten free bread for *Yours Truly* so that I could also indulge in their deliciously whipped herbed cream cheese that came with it (real talk, I ate the bread to get to the butter/cream cheese because I'm old enough to know it's socially unacceptable to dip a spoon right into it). Conveniently, I was on perhaps the worst day of a gnarly cold, and couldn't taste as well as I normally can, and yet - AND YET - everything was a delight for even my snot-clogged palate. All that for less than 500kr per person including alcohol? Ja tak. Over and over again. read more

I had passed by this restaurant many time and many times when I looked at the menu I couldn't find some sea food or veggie dishes. But this time they have put some Out door searing area that really looked so inviting that I really wanted to give it a try luckily this time they had some dishes that were not only meat. The concept here is that you can choose between as many dishes as you want can eat. It could be 1-5 dishes. The portions are perfect for tasting and yet felling that you have enjoyed the flavours with feeling you want more. I live tapas kind of food and I thing this was wonderful alternative to that. You can enjoy a bottle of wine and small tasty dishes. The service was so nice and everybody on the team was kind, helpful, smiling and very service minded. I enjoyed the atmosphere very much, I will be coming back and inviting friends. I really enjoyed read more

We had the 4 courses set, food was served in starter size (all 4), taste was great but a little too salty --- I found all Nordic restaurants made food this way so I guess that's common in north Europe. Nice interior design, but the waitresses were cold read more

Great food and amazing value (for Copenhagen) ! We had the 6 course menu wich was about 60 €. All dishes where very tasty but our favourite was the deep flavoured mussel soup with crab meat and apple. We had the same dish two years ago and understand why its still on the menu. Shared a bottle of high quality Cremant at about 40€ wich was a bargain. With wine and tip the bill came to around 230 €. Not cheap but very close to a 1 star Michelin quality. Go, eat and thank me later. read more

Elegantly prepared and served four course meal. Delicious and authentic Denmark eatery. Quality is the name of the game here, the plating is what you would expect for a high end restaurant, the flavors were rich and not overbearing, and the service was fantastic. Next time I hope to meet the chef, it was that good! read more

Cofoco - Modern European Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

We really enjoyed dinner at this fun local spot. The offered a tasting menu or you can do a la carte which we chose. Our family shared the beef tartare as an appetizer, and we had the ribeye steak and turkey dish. The flavors were fresh, well paired with side items and sauces that are prepared fresh in house. We saved room for their two dessert choices as well as enjoyed a wonderful bottle of wine. They change their menu frequently but the wonderful server we had told us the mussel soup is a favorite and always on the menu. Wish we would have tried that but learned this after we were too full. Definitely recommend! read more

During Copenhagen Dining Week I had the pleasure of a four dish dinner at Cofoco for only 200 kr. The food more than lived up to my expectations and we had a lovely night all in all. So why three stars? One of the girls from our dinner company arrived 30 minutes earlier than the rest of us and was treated poorly by the staff when she asked if she could wait inside. She was told to wait in the small entrance corridor with doors constantly opening and closing around her. She basically had to move out of people's way for half an hour. The staff should have solved this better, I don't care how. read more

Food and service were amazing. During our 2 week vacation in Europe, this was the highlight meal of our trip.

Delicious, creative, incentive cuisine! Loved the ambiance, menu and all the dishes we tried. The mussel soup, asparagus and gets, and Argentinian beef we're our favorites dishes. Service was a little slow but the food made up for it. A must try if you want a more modern twist on Nordic/Scandinavian cuisine! read more

Had the 5-course dinner. Every course was fun, thought-provoking, and creatively delicious with a surprise or two. The server was the right amount of attentive: checking in to see if we required another bottle of wine when we were empty and also accommodating our friend's pescatarian diet. The courses flowed nicely from one to the next and we left feeling contentedly full. Bonus points: This place has the most enchanting bathroom walkway I've ever experienced. read more

Great place with surprisingly good service for being Denmark. The food is inspiring and tastes amazing. Good value (had a four course dinner for 275:- DKK) and very cozy setting. I recommend the clam soup which seems to be a reoccurring item on their menu. Top 5 dishes I've eaten all year. read more

Even though I was sick as anything, I dragged myself to Cofoco to write this yelp review. Just kidding, I did it for myself. We started with the pea and mussel soup that tasted like a warm hug from a friend. Beautifully plated and so delicious. We then had the white asparagus, argentinian steak, and the pork dish. The steak was fantastic, I would go as far as to say just as good as wagyu, and had a beautiful garnish of tangled beet whirls. The Pork was good too, but definitely the steak was the highlight. We ended with a sorbet in a pool of sweetened buttermilk, sighed happily, then drifted back home. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Went here with a group from work, on recommendations from co-workers who had visited before. It was pretty impressive, and by that I mean surprising and delicious combinations of ingredients. I ordered the 5-course meal, which included the mussel soup, courgette, chicken from Rockedahl and yougurt elderflower ice cream. Everything was fantastic, but the courgette (came with some sort of Zucchini noodles, which I forgot the name of) and the ice cream (black currant with rosemary!) were the highlights. Service was spot on and the atmosphere was cozy and warm. Other people in our party got cocktails and wine, and they liked the pairings. Would go there again in a heartbeat. read more

I had been curious to try this restaurant since I first read about it. On my first visit to Copenhagen, I was unable to get in without a reservation. So, this time around I booked a table. When I arrived for a 9:00pm reservation, I found the room to be a bit warm and I realized that everyone around me appeared to be around the age of 60 and rather conservatively dressed. I definitely felt a bit out of place. The food was very good but everything felt a bit serious. The staff was very friendly and nice and I don't really have anything negative to say. I would recommend the food if you're really focused on the culinary aspect but. But for something a bit more fun and accessible, maybe look elsewhere. read more

We had a reservation at Host the sister restaurant across town and when we arrived at Host there was some confusion apparently our reservation was booked for 2 hours earlier than we had asked for it. After the initial confusion the hostess (not sure maybe waiter) called a cab at their expense and sent us to Cofoco. The atmosphere is pleasant and the food was good but no comparison to the experience at Host. No complaints at all. Unremarkable in most ways. Probably a good first date place. Swanky enough to be mildly impressive, surprisingly reasonable prices and well prepared, good ingredient dishes. Nothing is fantastic and nothing is wrong. Still I would not go out of my way to go there again. read more

We had reservations at 5:30, so shouldn't be too busy right? Wrong.....we were told as we sat down that they were squeezing us in, we could only order 3, maybe 4 courses but definitely not 5 courses and then we would have to leave asap as they had overbooked the table. Having been to their sister restaurant Host the week before, I was not expecting this. They were very accomodating of all of our various food allergies so that was a plus. The ambience was....ok. The food was....ok. I did leave hungry though and my fiance and I ended up at another restaurant for a second dinner after wandering around copenhagen for a time. I would highly recommend wandering around copenhagen at nightime, that was the true delight of the evening. read more

It is an innovative Danish restaurant called Cofoco that serves various small plates. They also served a warm, dense bread with salted butter to start. We had five dishes all of which were very good. We had two mussel soups: they bring you a stoneware bowl with the dry ingredients (crab, croutons and apples) already in it and then pour the broth [creamy puréed mussels] from an earthenware pitcher over them. It was tasty and filling. The stent havtaske is tasty monkfish with chickweed and served over a purée of pistachios and jalapeños Which cost 125 kroners. We also had kalsorter which was oven crisped kale with cheese, capers in elderflower, buckwheat and cabbage. It cost 80 kr. Our fifth dish was bagte rodbeder which was beets with cheese, crispy walnut pieces and powdered rose hips. It usually also comes with chicken skins but we asked for it without that- cost 80 kr. I had a draft beer (55kr.) and my wife a glass of red wine (65 kr.). Total cost Dkk 550 ($US88) plus the cost of using a credit card will be added. We skipped the tap water which would have cost US$8 (25 kroners each) for the two of us. read more

What can I say? Really nice french cuisine and not pretentious at all. Just a belly full of happiness. If they fix the lamp at the table I sat at I will definitely revisit this restaurant. read more

Whenever I come to Copenhagen I go to Cofoco. Great food, gread ambiance and top quality service. I love the way you can pick up different small plates. it's a really cute place that I would recommend to everyone who loves food. read more

This was a great stop. Recommended by more than one person, and they weren't wrong. Had some amazing small plates, and the setting is a very well done modern design that I honestly enjoyed spending time in. Turns out the "chicken nuggets" are deceptively named; nothing like the nuggets of youth, these are truly amazing morsels with a very well-conceived accompaniment. read more

Delicious food and lovely service. We harassed the waiter and he was both courteous and sweet. Relaxed meal with fabulous wine.

Cofoco was my first taste of Nordic new cuisine and what a lovely introduction. The staff graciously accommodated my companion and I after we walked in even though the kitchen was getting ready to close. At amazingly fresh fish and seafood with things like juniper and chervil and shaved cauliflower and beets and radishes and roe. Highly recommend. read more

Fast service, excellent food and the waiters were extremely nice. The place is a bit pricey but it's definitely a place I'll go back to!

5 course meal with wines. Great food. Big fan of the mussel soup and peccorino Ekwo? wine. Good price too :)

Probably one of the worst restaurants I have been to. The food was fair, but the service was pathetic and rude. Further serving in broken china/plates was offensive considering the price one has to pay. We were 7 at our table and it was unanimous that we shall not return. If a negative star could be given, this restaurant deserves it. read more

Amazing meal for a fraction of what I would have expected. The mussel soup and artichoke ice cream were pure bliss!
