After having the Chicken Congee at TorvehallerneKBH the first time, I was craving to go back and try a sweet bowl of porridge. This time around I went all out and ordered the ALL IN! Porridge. It has all the toppings (bananas, coconut shavings, apples, peanut butter, yogurt, nuts and what not! It costs about USD $14. For for the quantity and quality of ingredients, I would say it wasn't bad at all. When I say I was FULL after that bowl, it is an understatement. I highly recommend you try at least one sweet and savory bowl of porridge here. If I ever come back to CPH, this is the first place I will visit.

I got the beet juice and risotto and both were fantastic! Great flavors and atmosphere, and a short wait to order and receive food. The risotto was plenty filling and tasty, and was a really unique option for a breakfast/lunch item. Will be back again!

tl;dr : It should be a crime to visit Copenhagen without visiting Grød. Wide variety of sweet and savory porridges fit for all meals. Pea porridge and oat porridge are must haves! Delicious cup of Cortado to wash it down. *** The long read *** This restaurant has taken a simple ingredient and elevated it to another level. It's a small place but one that deserves all your attention. Ambience: You'll see the outside seating with a sign up top reading 'Grød'. A hustle and bustle of people outside on any day will let you know that you're at the right place. On weekends the line extends outside but it's a fast moving one. They have seating both inside and outside. You order at the counter and take your coffee to the table along with the order number. Food is brought to you. The inside seating is across 2 rooms which gives a feeling of an old school apartment converted into a cafe. They have free wifi so don't forget to check in and upload your grams! Food : They offer a host of sweet and savory porridge options. Here's a breakdown of some of my favorites. Oat porridge : Grød with fresh cut apples, almonds for the crunch and caramel sauce. The porridge is rich, creamy and cooked to perfection. The blend of freshness of the fruit, crunch from the nuts and the sweetness from the caramel forms a delicate yet delicious balance. Pea risotto : Risotto with mashed pea, cream, parmesan cheese, a dollop of ricotta. Pea sprouts added in for the freshness. The rich aroma of risotto and tanginess from the lemon vinaigrette is like foreplay of senses. A bite of this is worth a visit to this place. Berry Chia pudding: I ordered this not knowing the quantity of the other food. It's served in a small bowl . Chia pudding made with almond milk and berry jam. It's topped with roasted coconut flakes, freeze dried raspberries (Oh the tanginess!!). It's sweet, cruncy, fresh and the perfect start of the day. Cortado: Strong espresso, steamed milk served in a beautiful cortado cup. Their cups are unique and they even sell them incase you wish to purchase. Chicken congee : Tried this for dinner on a rainy day. Hot rice porridge with chicken and peanuts. Spring onions for freshness. The spice was really good especially on a rainy day. I can see this being a comfort food. The ginger in it was a little over powering especially the tiny pieces of it but it may just have been an off day. Still very delicious! All in all, this place is definitely on my list of places to visit again. If you can't decide between sweet or savory, get both like me. This is what I'd imagined when they say 'Breakfast like a king...'

Love this restaurant but wish the daal came with a spice warning! Totally cleared my sinuses but don't think I'll order this dish again. Tried my friends açaí bowl though and absolutely loved

This place takes oatmeal to a whole new level. I am a fan of oatmeal but I actually don't believe in buying it outside of a grocery store in a container just because it's going to be overpriced. But I came here to venture out and see what the hooplah was about. I was in Copenhagen, mid day and I was sorta hungry. Not sure what to eat but I found that this place was around the block. Oats are hearty, and it was a rainy day, I could use something warm in my belly. I ordered the first option on the menu in a small. Now folks, this small was way too much for me to eat. So maybe share 1 unless you LOVEEEEEEE oatmeal and you eat 2 servings normally at home. Especially consider the toppings will add more bulk to your meal. Not sure if the oatmeal itself tasted like regular oatmeal or was it flavored with spices. The caramel on the side was sorta mixed with each bite I took so I got oats+sweet caramel. It wasn't bad. I normally like Oatmeal, so I found it tasty. It didn't however blow my mind. If you don't like oatmeal, I doubt this will change your mind drastically. It's a pretty cost to pay for oatmeal. They have other meals there but i didn't explore much of the other items. Oh, and you can get the rest of the oats to go incase you can't finish it in one sitting (moi).

We spent the morning walking around Nørrebro, so by the time we came in the restaurant we were shivering and ready to warm up. This was the PERFECT place to do so. The porridges, the risottos, and all the other bowls we got not only filled us up but warmed us up too. We got: the kale risotto, oat porridge 2, the mushroom barley-otto, the chicken congee, organic risengrød 2, and a build your own porridge. We loved our choices, and were surprised by the size. I, for one, was. The bowl of porridge I ate was much larger than what I expected for the small size. Would so come back here. In fact, I'm going to make an effort to come back at least once before my time is up here in Copenhagen!

This place is great! Both their savory and breakfast options are amazing. For lunch yesterday I had the mushroom barley risotto and it was delectable. The time with the warmed pickled mushrooms was such a flavor sensation and really made the dish. For breakfast today I had their oatmeal with the apples, almonds, and caramel and added banana. It was delicious. My friends got the all topping oatmeal and my other made her own. Both thought it was a little too sweet and overwhelming. I think with the breakfast options stick with the premade ones they have or make your own but I definitely think less is better otherwise the oatmeal itself kind of loses its flavor. This place is super reasonably priced and so yummy. Would totally recommend and come back. It's in a cute location too. Generous portions.

This is my second Grod visit and location, and there will be plenty more in the future. Location: the Torvehallerne location is much more difficult to find seating, but this Grod is a hole-in-the-wall place tucked away in an alley with abundant seating. We were a group of 3 and had no issue staying in the restaurant for over 3 hours. Granted, we came at 1:30 so after any possible lunch crazes. Menu: same options as their other locations. Still reasonably priced, averaging 75-80kr. All 3 of us ordered the (small) risotto and prolonged the experience for as long as we physically could, because it's /that/ good. We also ordered the blueberry porridge to share, which was a refreshing cap to an otherwise heavy, savory risotto lunch. Tip: The small risotto is quite filling, but the blueberry porridge definitely wouldn't have been filling as its own meal. Service: all of the ladies were excellent and attentive, and the wait time for our 3 risottos was barely noticeable.

This place makes porridge look AND taste cool. I'm talking, let's go back everyday kinda deal. They have all kinds of sweet and savory porridges. If that was not enough, you can make your own too with all the different toppings. For all the budget conscious folks - this is it. You'll be able to eat properly without breaking your bank. There are menu options in English and most options are vegetarian! Highly recommend for an awesome experience!

A solid budget choice in otherwise-pricey Copenhagen. Here's the way it works. In the morning, they will have 2-3 delicious choices for some sort of porridge. I had some sort of grain I'd never heard of, cooked with milk and water, covered with plum compote and some sort of Icelandic yogurt analogue. It was really delicious, filling, and only 35 kr. I also ordered a great drip coffee, which was 15 kr I think. During the evening, they have risotto choices, at 50 kr I think. The folks who worked there were very friendly, and spoke perfect English. They didn't seem to mind translating the menu for me, and asked whether I was enjoying my time in Copenhagen. If I travel back to Denmark, I'll definitely be back at Grod. Note they also have free wifi, which is helpful if you want to avoid roaming 3G charges.

One of my favorite eating experiences when I was in Copenhagen. I recommend you go there early for breakfast, before it gets crowded, and then do a walk through the nearby cemetery/park and see the grave sites of Hans Christian Andersen and the famous philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. As for the food, I recommend trying the rye bread porridge cooked in small beer and beet juice and then topped with hazelnuts, fruit compote and coriander syrup. It is delicious and you will know you are not in Kansas anymore. I was told there is another location for Grod but I think this one is charming. I haven't tried it for dinner, when they do more savory porridges but when I go back to Copenhagen I'll definitely come back and yep, I don't think you will find anything like this back in the states. :-)

When did porridge become such a tasteful, fancy and good looking food? I couldn't answer that question but Grød have done it. For a fairly decent price - 45DKK to stay or 40DKK to go - you'll get an amazing and very filling serving of porridge with different toppings. I chose the banana, blueberry and cocoa bits porridge and it was very, very yummy! All along with some very nice staff, cozy environment and good coffee! Will be coming back!

We almost missed the entrance because the place is small. You order at the back of the restaurant and they bring the food to you. The store is adorable with snacks available to purchase like granola, dried strawberries, etc. We were recommended the following (below) and my friend and I shared both: - Risotto with asparagus, lemon and parmesan - Rhubarb with cream The risotto had the right amount of lemon and parmesan. Parmesan was sprinkled at the very top and the risotto had hints of lemon as you made your way through the bowl. This is my type of comfort food...if only I could make this at home. The rhubarb dessert... I am in love with rhubarb now. Delectable. There was a nice bit of cream on top with some graham crumbles. This location does not serve breakfast after 11 AM so we couldn't try the breakfast porridges but we heard the location in the Torvehallerne Market has their breakfast menu available all day!
