The staff was friendly and attentive. We got to try the all the oysters and many appertizers, along with one dessert. Everything was thoughtfully crafted with deep knowledge for ingredients, appreciation for flavors, and an eye for creativity. The mussels dish stood out as the most memorable experience. Honestly, the entire experience here was one of the greatest highlights of our trip. We look forward to coming back someday!

Not worth the hype at all. Below average fare at above average prices. I came here because,…read moreaccording to numerous online sources, this is the place to try while in Copenhagen. 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.

Always on the search for some authentic food native to the culture, you can certainly find it here. But you can also find lots of other stuff, too like tacos with fresh tortillas and mochi ice cream! FOOD: Some of it was great! Some of it okay. The smorebord was good but not the best I've had. Still I had the Danish meatball one and the smoked salmon one - both good but not great. Loved the fried fish and the pork belly! Supremely awesome. The mochi ice cream was a treat and the French meringue were simply delicious. I bit undercooked for me, but I can't turn down a good meringue. SERVICE: Overall, good. Nice portions. Great plating. And the people were all very nice. More like quick service but that's what you want from a place like this so you can experience different places. COST: Worth it. Nothing was overblown. All were a tad bit on the higher side, but not more than you would epxect. Definitely a fun place to go and check out.

WHAT A LITTLE GEM! 4.6…read more As we strolled around the area of our hotel, we came across this lovely neighborhood market. Flower stands with freshly cut flowers and an abundance of vegetable crates colored the exterior of the building's grounds. The enclosed building is made from beautiful glass and metal, with the inside feeling open and airy, making it feel a bit like a greenhouse with its natural lighting. We found an assortment of shops offering meats, condiments, pastries, baked goods, coffee, fresh seafood, pastas, prepared salads, sushi, lunch spots, cured meats, nuts, beer, wine, fresh herbs, sandwiches, caviar, ice cream, cheeses, housewares and gift items; quite the assortment here! The only thing that was difficult to find were non-food gifts for our friends that were actually made in Denmark. Most were manufactured overseas. We stopped and had a wonderful lunch at the very popular Hallernes Smørrebrød, seated at their bar. This market is definitely worth a visit.

It was all simple food (in the best way) but very tasty. The chocolate ice cream was salted and really exceptional, and their fish and chips were better than what I've tasted from their British neighbors to the west. I'd definitely recommend this place (but I would encourage patrons to sit in a slightly more ventilated spot of the interior during a rainy, warm day).

They served both seafood and steaks but more seafood options. There also was a 3 and 4 course option for those hungry diners. We started with a single plate of fried squid that was a good size for us to share. Most were cut into French fry like sticks which was different presentation and then fried. All pieces weee dusted with paprika and came with a side of lemon mayo for dipping. Squid had a good chew to it and a good start off to our dinner. Mussels came in a huge pot, the largest serving to date. We ended up filling two bowls with shells. The wine broth was quite delicious and the bread was perfect for dipping and soaking up that goodness. The whole seabass was another well done dish covered in greens and easy to debone. The fish was light and tender. Service was attentive. A bread service per person was added to the check. Tiny restrooms were located next to the check in desk. The restaurant was quite busy by the time we left. We finished in less than the 2 hour time allotment noted in our reservation. Would revisit should we have the opportunity to return to Copenhagen.

The restaurant's design is definitely minimalist with simple blank walls and a comfortable mix of fake and real plants. There was no air conditioning but they found a fan to keep us comfortable- we were amazed that more folks in the full restaurant weren't sweating the way we were. Perhaps the locals are more used to the summer heat with no AC than we were. We had the 3-course prefixe meal with my my wife and daughter on the standard menu while I was on the vegetarian track. The website says that Host is the Danish word for harvest, and that their focus is "on the Scandinavian kitchen with lots of surprises." The staff used the word "surprises" explicitly, using it to describe the amuse-bouches and palette-cleansing bites served between the advertised courses. We started with a flight of croquettes with cheese and I think my wife and daughter had something like a smoked fish hash of some sort while by I had a delightful bite of salad on a molded sweet cookie tart shell. The baby bread loaves with a special butter were lovely - how do you innovate butter? Great job. My first veggie entree was fried carrots with horseradish, which was grand. Next I had a barley risotto with amazing brown beech mushrooms on top. Awesome. There was a spot of potato soup in there somewhere and the best bite of the meal was another of the surprises - a pre-dessert mochi-like shell with strawberry powder on the outside and hazelnut ice cream (I think???) on the inside. The strawberry rhubarb dessert was excellent also. Such a great meal. Loved it.

The portions are just the right size and even shareable. The hubs did the 5-course with wine pairings, dessert and coffee and I the 3-course. I was able to share some of his items and wines as well. They are Michelin recommended and still awaiting a star. Here's to hoping they get it soon.

Restaurant Kadeau was a fascinating Michelin restaurant to come to. Those looking for something…read morebombastic and crazy may come away disappointed as this is much more subtle and cozy story about it's head chef, Nicolai Nørregaard. The end result is a clear understanding of Nicolai's heritage and cooking style told through really unique dishes that I never experienced before. Finding Kadeau was easy for us personally as it was very, very close to our hotel, the NH Hotel Collection. For those taking the metro, it is super close to the Christianshavn metro stop, nestled amongst unassuming business buildings. The front door is made with black wooden planks and a small doorbell + light with the name and the recently updated three Michelin stars. We rang the doorbell and were kindly greeted in. The front staff took our coats, and we were taken first to the kitchen. All the kitchen staff said hello, and we were given an explanation about the unique kitchen, calling out the designer as well as the unique wooden hearth that would become important during the menu. The dining area isn't too big with a couple more exclusive looking tables, one close to the kitchen and another in a greenhouse looking area. We were seated in the main dining area with a comfortable fur blanket and looking out towards the restaurant's garden. The music was usually light and comfortable/warm. All-around, the service was fantastic. The servers had the Michelin style precision of grabbing our plates and setting them down at the same time for our party as well as guiding us to the restroom and being super helpful. Each of the servers/chefs understood the restaurant's story and mission, easily explaining the dishes and background of where the ingredients were sourced from - from Chef Nicolai's garden on his original home island on Bornholm where the original Kadeau is located. Our menu was part of the summer menu - one of the last couple weeks before they would change it out. At first glance, the menu seems oddly simple for a 3 Michelin star restaurant. One of the items literally is a sandwich of leaves which sounds like a really 'out there' dish. But again, this all not only usually combined flavors in unique ways and with gorgeous/thoughtful presentations, but told the stories of the ingredients from Bornholm and reinforced how these classic ingredients could be made into something new. Some of the highlights of the dishes included the mackerel tart (looking like a gorgeous flower of mackerels on a wonderful tart); the cured squid (the squid was tender and unlike any squid we ever had - so delicious and full of flavor); and the hot and cold smoked salmon (again, unlike any smoked salmon we had and a magnificent presentation + story that our server expertly told). And yes, a couple dishes didn't work quite as well for us. For instance, one of the desserts was called the chewy fruits and conifers. It was very, very beautiful but the side with beets was just overly sweet and a bit too big to eat all the way through. We also loved the plates and cutlery. Apparently many of the artwork on the tables and the spoons/knives/forks were made by a Copenhagen silverware maker in a first time collaboration. Super gorgeous. We were also very fortunate to meet Chef Nicolai as well during one of the courses. They also have a robust wine list as well as mocktails. We partook in the mocktail pairing and shared just one of the pairings between the two of us which was perfect. The mocktails on its own weren't the most memorable and the last one, being a rendition of apple juice, was our least favorite. But we do think the mocktails really enhanced the flavors of the tasting menu and appreciated the technique and extra care taken in each of them. In the end, we really felt like we came away understanding Bornholm and how excellent the island's ingredients were. And appreciating Chef Nicolai's care and craft in sharing his vision, culture, and upbringing in the food. It felt so crystal clear to me who the chef was. And just an excellent experience all around.
