Fish of the day, so fresh and so good!
Moriah P.

This is easily one of my favorite spots in Copenhagen. The interior decorating is such a vibe and the food is some of the freshest food I've ever had. The location is amazing as well being so close to Nyhavn. Service was amazing too, and the waiters were very helpful in helping me choose what to get. I can't wait to come back!

Worse experience ever

This place was such a disappointment. We went for dinner and drinks. Ordered our food and drinks .. we got our drinks. A guy from the kitchen came out with a dish that turned out to be to the table next to us. They took it away quick ..it was a little weird that the table next to us got their order before us since we came first. Anyways as it was cold we decided to move inside.. 20 Minutes had passed already. As we are sitting next to the kitchen we can see some Of it..I see the floor is dirty with food.. the same kitchen guy was finishing our plate. We had order lobster. He then drops it on the floor and picks it up. He looked very drunk so we called the waiter over and asked him about this. He went talk to him and came back to apologize and say we did not had to pay for the drinks o food..So we wasted 40 minutes and still no food.. we left and I was shocked! Went to Nyhavn 41 and got served right away.

I want to like Fishmarket but for the price I can go elsewhere and get great food with good service. I ordered the Bouillabaisse and for the equivalent price of $50, the Dish came with about six pieces of small mussels, which two of them were not opened. There was also a prawn (a very small lobster) and some white fish. The service was mediocre as well. I thought it was a typical price for restaurant food in Copenhagen but realized that it was expensive because it is close to a tourist attraction. If you eat away from Nyvan there are restaurants with a Michelin star that are priced more reasonably.

*DREADFUL SERVICE* Where to start?! Well for starters the waitresses didn't bid us a warm welcome and the vibe turned into an uneasy feeling. I ordered a "Plateau fruits de Mer" accompanying "The Selection" of 12 different oysters. In the process of ordering, I was discussing with my partner that I preferred the Gillardeau. I do not know the waitress by name, however, the ginger corrected my pronunciation in a degrading manner and there is no reason for her to act snobbish which made her look like a complete fool. We were not wine experts and by nature, we ask about her opinion regarding which ones she could recommend. Then again her snobbish demeanor rose to the surface, encouraging her to roll her eyes every time we spoke. She cannot expect us to know everything about wine, her education in this field, and service was very insufficient. The platter looked aesthetically beautiful, however, the oysters were not shucked properly. The oysters were not dislodged from their shells and we had to cut it ourselves. This is very basic and when we pay a fair amount for the dish, we expect that this fundamental procedure is known by the chef. On the last note, I want to amplify and address the notion of service. I normally do not write such a negative review, but this case is extraordinary. The waitresses did not even have the courtesy to ask if we enjoyed our food or anything for that matter. The ginger waitress destroyed my experience and I am not afraid to let anyone know that her skills in service are a joke. To act snobbish and a "know it all" towards customers is very embarrassing. She needs proper education and it does not cost anything to smile. The service alone is enough of an experience to regret that I spent money and stepped one foot into the Fishmarket restaurant!!! This review took me 5 minutes to write, imagine if I spent 10. 1 star service

Excellent food, Atmosphere and good wine menu. We chose the 3 course menu with fish items and ice cream. Everything was great. At the end had more drinks and enjoyed that martini too. Prices are good, about 600 dkk/person including wine and the cocktails. I will be back.

Food is OK, not overwhelming , service extremely ..... never mind. Keep in mind this place is working with shifts. No place to go out with your girlfriend or wife, changes to be kicked out and you are sitting very close to each other. Also your neighbors. This review is colored because I just been told that I have 15 minutes for dessert after she checked with her boss. WTF. How on earth you can tell that to a customer. Ok, than just give me the bill. Spend your well earned monies somewhere else.

They are all wrong. I ordered the oysters, mussels, bread and seaweed butter, tomato salad, and languste. In order, the oysters were pretty good. They were one of two things I enjoyed. However, my stomach didn't feel very good after eating them. The mussels were below average. I've had much better, there just wasn't much flavor to them and the sauce they were in tasted fairly average. The bread and seaweed butter were very good--the bread specifically. The seaweed butter just tasted like butter. The tomato salad was average, it was a little too creamy for my liking. The languste was horrible. I was assured it would taste similar to lobster, it in fact did not. It had a rather funny taste to it, that I wouldn't describe as good. It was meant for two and neither of us found it appealing. It was 1800 DKK, about $275, we shouldn't have ordered it. The establishment is extremely busy, they seem understaffed. Their staff are running this way and that way and it's difficult to get someone's attention. Ambiance is alright. I think if it was a little less busy then it would be nice but the sheer volume of people subtracts from the vibe. Overall do not recommend and I wouldn't come back. Very overrated.

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.

I arrived around 3 and decided to do the two course meal.

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.

"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!

Picked this spot, not only cause it was by the Canal and advertised as Danish.. but also it's located next to this delicious hot dog food stand I enjoyed earlier after the Canal Tour - has to be good vibes right?! ;) Heh Plenty of outdoor umbrella seating with lovely string lights - most sat outside, as September weather in Denmark feels like AC. Plus, who doesn't love a great view? :) ==BEER== First thing's first, BEER. The waiter recommended Tuborg Classic (more malty) as it is their staff local favorite. Ordered that and Carlsberg (lighter like Pilsner) and I would agree, Tuborg's got a nicer, stronger flavor. ==FOOD== Ordered the chicken tartlet, which reminded me of a flakey biscuit chicken pot pie. It was good but my favorite was the Danish Meatballs!!! Wonderful blend of soft savory meat and sweet cranberry sauce, mixed with gravy! OOO and top it off, a sweet lady in front of us RAVED about the chocolate cake from her three course meal so just had to order it too. SO FUDGEY GOOD... very rich fudge Belgium chocolate with rich vanilla ice cream. I loved it sprinkled with the crumbles texture! I also enjoyed how the waiters were all so kind and willing to converse about local stories with the customers/tourists - friendly staff really added to the great experience here.

We asked for their wine varietals and they essentially were re-filling most wines so we were told they had 1 white and 1 red-we ordered one of each. The wines themselves were very fine. However, once you leave the ordering area you realize how cool the area is. The bar overlooks a dock that people have surrounded around in various swim gear. If you plan ahead well enough you can easily go swimming and have a lovely glass of wine. If not, like us, then sit by the dock and enjoy the weather while drinking your glass of wine. We didn't venture into any of the food but really cannot emphasize how much we wished we could lounge further from a swimming standpoint!

The cafe is no-frills, but leads down to a dock where you can enjoy your food, making for lunch with a view. Inside the cafe, you can order cocktails in a can, pastries and lunch from a small menu. For around $15, I ordered a cocktail in a can, pumpkin soup and a bowl of bread with olive oil. The bread was the best I has all trip and the soup was the best I've had ever! Service was fast, efficient and the price was much more affordable compared to many restaurants in Copenhagen. Although there's no wifi, this is still a must-experience.
