I really enjoyed my meal here, despite the fact that I came in quite frazzled after a long day of exploring.
There was a little mixup with my meal (to be explained below) but everything worked out totally fine. For starters, my lack of Danish made reading and understanding the menu pretty darn difficult, so I was reassured by my very patient waitress as she helped to translate it until I found a vegetarian/fish dish. Per her recommendation, I decided on the pumpkin soup and salmon smorrebrød.
When the soup came out, I took one bite and realized it was NOT pumpkin soup. It was some sort of meat soup. I sat for a while twiddling my thumbs, wishing I had a bottle of wine rather than one glass, wondering if I should just respectfully eat it and deal with the stomach ache that would potentially follow, or if I should continue my role as the obnoxious American and send it back. Due to my immense fear of vomit I opted for the latter. When I asked if it had meat, the food runner sort of chuckled. I thought: "Ok yes sir, I know there are hunks of animal flesh in there I just don't know how to navigate this situation." I felt really bad but I could tell he did too. He apologized profusely for the mixup and brought out my pumpkin soup (sidebar: the soup came out in a Mini saucepan. How cute). When the pumpkin soup came out I devoured it....aaand it ended up being free!
I don't have any photos from the meal because I was truly enjoying my first TRUE solo sit-down, multi-course meal. read more
