Their name translates to "Three Little Pigs". Boy, did we eat like we were! ;-) Being part of the Cofoco chain of restaurants, Les Trois Cochons gives you so much value for your money. (what?! is that possible in Copenhagen?!) After sorting out the confusion of the ordering process, we found that dinner is a pre-fixe menu of 3 courses meant to be shared between two people. Hold on. If you're thinking, we're supposed to SHARE dishes at a French restaurant where courses are traditionally small to begin with? (we were proven wrong, in fact, we had leftovers) The food is casual and uncomplicated. We had foie gras to start, simply salted and served with pickled plums and grilled bread. I can't get foie gras in California so it's always a priority when I travel! For our main course, a very hearty braised pork shank with carrots, leeks and root vegetables. This comes with mashed potato and French green beans. Dessert was a divine assortment of molten chocolate cake, creme brulee and ice cream. You'll be opening your belt a notch to accommadate your expanded waistline ;-) The street Værnedamsvej is lined with French cafes, small specialty stores and this restaurant seamlessly folds itself into the mix being a former butcher shop. A little piece of Paris right here in Copenhagen. Tres bon! read more

We had a pleasant dining experience at this bistro. The food was delicious (I had one of the hake dishes) and the wait staff was charming and helpful. The creme brûlée was a larger portion than I thought it would be but very good. The only issue for me was that the interior of the restaurant was quite warm and stuffy. It was a warm evening and there was no ventilation. But, even so, I would return to try this bistro again. read more

Very cozy French bistro. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Happiness. We started with wine and starters. The olives were nice. They were slightly warmed in an olive oil. We also had almonds that were tasty. And a veggie starter...it might have been crudités. The radishes were amazing and nothing like the radishes I have had here in the states. When we told the waiter I was vegan, he talked to the chef and they were able to make me a vegan plate. I was very surprised and excited. It was sooo delicious!!! The white asparagus was so flavorful. All the veggies were cooked to perfection. I found myself humming while eating. It was that good. Vegans welcome read more

Les Trois Cochons - Ahhhhmazing vegan dish. Not on the menu...but it should be. - French Near Me - København V, 84

Oh three little piggies, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: 1. I'm not sure your location could be ANY better. Hands up for a quick vote of the best street in Copenhagen? What's that? You agree that it's Værnedamsvej, too? Well, fantastic, because it's true. 2. Sometimes a girl likes to walk through a set of doors and feel transformed. This particular girl has some roots in her beloved France and occasionally likes to be transported there, from chilly little Denmark. That happens at Les Trois Cochons. But in fairness, it happens actually before you turn onto Værnedamsvej, because basically that whole street looks like Paris. And THEN you walk through the front door and you're on the Left Bank...if we're being specific. 3. Two magical words: Foie Gras. I can honestly say - and I've eaten a lot of foie gras in my days - that this was, hands down, the best foie gras of my life. No, I'm not exaggerating. 4. One more word: Rillettes. Listen you guys. I lived in the Loire Valley back in the early 2000s. That's where Rillettes COMES from. It is so perfect there, that you might occasionally think, while eating it, "I could die a happy lady, right here, right now." Never in my life - not in other areas of France, not in New York - have I found better Rillettes. Les Trois Cochons, however, made it JUST as good. 5. I had to unbutton my pants when I left. And rest assured, it's not because I drank too much wine and had the desire to (*cough*), nor is it because the food was of that terrible quality that you bloat immediately upon consumption. It's because I wanted to eat everything. And I did. I often gauge a good French meal by whether or not I need to take my pants off afterward. We ate like kings (and queens). Other amazing things were our lovely waiter who knew everything there was to know about the menu, the guys at the bar who suggested some excellent wines while we waited for our reservation, the entrecôte (I still have warm and fuzzy dreams about that one), the desserts, and the basement (it looks like a legit wine cellar, and I believe can be rented out for larger parties). To be revisited, as often as my budget allows. read more

Finally! A place I can recommend and dream of taking my wife too in Copenhagen. I travel here on business about once a year and while I've never had bad food whilst visiting, it's also never been memorable. Les Trois Cochons has changed that. The dining style was a little different than I am used too, but I loved it. You basically picked your entree from three choices, the rest was up to them (appetizer and dessert). It was a delight to try some new things and everything was fantastic. The total bill (no wine) was incredibly reasonable and as previously mentioned the best food I've had to date in this beautiful city. Will be back if I ever have anyone to impress. read more

Les Trois Cochons - Pork Chop at Les Trois Cochons - French Near Me - København V, 84

I've wanted to try this place for a long time and when dining week had this restaurant I definitely needed to check it out. I loved the surroundings and the staff was kind a professional, glad to see that the bread wasn't plain white but was with rye and fennel. For startes we had some kind of stew with smoked fish, which was a bit to smokey for me. Starters also included eggplan mashed with goatcheese and it was a bit plain and boring for me. Also has pork rillette with mayo and it was sooo good. Main course was veal served in a big pot with sauce and vegetables served with potatoes and haricot verts on the side. The mashed potatoes was absolutely perfect but I was so disappointed when I've ate the meat. It had large chunks of fat in it. The waitress was really kind, when I told about the mean and they offered us coffee and wine for dessert - free of charge. Desserts was amazing. I love love love creme brulee and this one was good. The praline and chocolate mousse also quite tasty. The whole menu is served in little pots and pans and then you'll share it at the table. I like that kind of serving, my boyfriend hates it - a matter of temper and taste I guess. To sum up - good service and well-cooked food, but overall an average experience. read more

We dined her for our first family dinner in Copenhagen. The ambiance was perfect - a European bistro to start our family holiday vacation. The service was wonder. We had 8:30 reservations but had arrived early so they fit us in at least 30 minutes early. The menu is small and there are not many vegetarian options but what we ate was lovely. I had a quiche and a green salad and it was a light but yummy dinner. Other patrons were really enjoying the seafood but my family members do not eat seafood. I'd recommend this for a nice lunch spot read more

Went here for a dinner with my family and must say I was not disappointed. Although there had been confusion with my reservation they still have us a great table at just 5 minutes waiting time. We ordered the set menu, which gives you a house of entree but surprises you with appetizers and desert. We were surprised with homemade pate, a crab sallad and the the most delicious roasted beetroot in a bed of horseradish cream. For the entree we all ordered the confit de canard (ATTENTION: if you are uneven numbers, it might be difficult to order different things as entree, as there is a minimum of two orders to get an entree, so we all had to get the same thing [we were three]). The duck was beautifully cooked, presented in a nice copper pot where it was self-serve (we got each on large thigh). The duck really was exceptional. As if this was not enough, they come and introduce us to THREE desserts (doubled to six as we were three people)! The most amazing creme brûlée, a homemade cardamom ice cream with candied nuts, and a homemade almond cake with cherries and diverse berries. To round this incredible experience off, the coffee at the end was extremely good aswell. This must have been expensive you say? This can all be yours for the mild price of 295kr! Really can't wait to go back, and it is extremely romantic. I warn you though that their "free" water costs you 25Kr! read more

When your wallet can not afford the over-buzzed, hyper hyped NOMA and it's over-exposed, yet , admittedly talented star chef for its dozen coursed twizzered food extravaganza or any of the equally IT restaurants in Copenhagen... and you've just arrived having traveled sleepless for a dozen hours from Dallas and Heathrow. And your hotel is two blocks away and you're craving for a pile of plump mussels and frites like you use to eat at Petit Abeil in the west village on chilly nights and a tall glass of Danish beer then Les Trois Cochons is your place. It will evoke Belgium and France even if you haven't been to the former because the cold beer and the bread and the butter from Normandy France with fleur de sel (we requested and promptly given seconds s'il vous plait!] and the aforementioned steaming mussels from the waters not too far from this venue (or Oslo Sweden which is also not too far as you saw its coast on your way from the airport ) together, in aggregation, do that to your sleepy hungry head. This meal in an unpretentious candlelit space full of locals a-buzzed in Danish and smattering of English will be imprinted indelibly in your mind as the only dinner that you ate in Copenhagen. But you have resolved to be back. To here. And to save $$$ for the aforementioned NOMA- because how could David Chang be wrong as he is at the hour that you're shoving said mussels in your gullet and downing said beers, he Instagrammed the many courses that his buddy Rene Redzeppi is serving him at the newly reopened NOMA. read more

This is a nice little intimate restaurant. Very friendly staff and nice french food often with an innovative twist. My very first acquaintance with the Cofoco menu style of dining. read more

Great group dining as long as you have omnivores and are willing to drop 400kr per person. They serve a menu (295kr) where you choose the main course and otherwise it is chef's choice. I love the ease of selection, but this would not work for a vegetarian or other eaters who have specific restrictions. You are required to have at least two people per main course selection which meant that as a 3 person group we had to all agree on one. The appetizer was a selection of 3 different items (one veggie, one fish and one meat). And the dessert was also 3 selections. Overall it was too much food so I would go for a smaller/ lighter entrée next time (we went for the entrecôte). The food tasted great. Generally simple dishes, but all with tremendous flavor. The atmosphere is perfect with cozy lighting and classy decor. This would be really fun with a larger group (at least 6 people) where you could choose all 3 of the main dishes and then try everything ;). read more

Les Trois Cochons came recommended to us by local friends who have had very good meals here, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately our experience was not as good as our friends suggested, nor as good as the many positive reviews on Yelp -- we would not return. The menu is very limited and you are required to share one choice for every two people -- we knew it was a tasting menu but found this policy unusual. So, as a couple we had to agree on a main course to share -- we chose the fish/seafood entree. There was one large prawn for each of us, and some very basic/plain white fish that was fresh, but not flavorful nor interesting. During our meal we came to the conclusion that Les Trois Cochon is simply a glorified buffet. Everything is clearly pre-prepared in the kitchen earlier in the day and simply put on plates/bowls when ordered. Nothing is cooked to order, and presentation is quite basic. All of our food arrived somewhere between room temperature and lukewarm -- nothing was hot enough. Service was a bit slow (almost unreasonably slow given that the food is not cooked to order), but friendly. Additionally, the restaurant has a ridiculous policy of charging for tap water -- a flat fee to serve tap water to the table. Seeing this on the menu before ordering starts the meal off on a bad note before you even taste the first bite of food. The food quality was OK, but generally bland. Overall, the biggest disappointment is the lack of creativity -- there was nothing special/interesting about the meal. We ordered the lowest price bottle of wine on the menu (it was good - best part of the meal) and had two fixed price dinners without any extras, other than tap water. The total price was 840DKK ($145USD) for two people. While this is not an unusual price for a decent/nice dinner in Copenhagen, the volume and quality of food did not justify the price and there are many better choices nearby. read more

Les Trois Cochons is one of the chain Cofoco's restaurants. That means that they serve good food to reasonable prices. At Les Trois Cochons that equals three courses for 295 dkk. The pre-course and the dessert is decided by the kitchen, and at least two persons at the table needs to order the same main course for the kitchen to do it. We visit late Friday evening, and when we walk through the room to our table in the back, I notice two things. The nice atmosphere and environment - and the heat. It's way too hot inside. You get used to it, but we have to go outside to get some fresh air between the courses. All the food served tastes good. The waitress forgets one of our dishes and when cleaning the table, she takes my gin and tonic before I have time to react - even if I wasn't done with it. Despite that, the service is great. I have a food allergy and even if it's a busy night, the restaurant serves special food for me all the way through. The food served through the evening is good. It flirts with the French kitchen, just like it's suppose to at a restaurant like this. All in all, I had a really good experience at Les Trois Cochons, just like I've had a good experience at Cofoco's other restaurants. I like that they all serve good food to good prices, so that "normal people" can go out to eat. read more

Like stepping into Paris. Amazing, down-to-Earth spot. Great all day, and really cheap compared to what you get. The breakfast is amazing, best croissant in town, and the cute rolls of butter make it on point. The black tea is really good! read more

When has French food ever been a bad idea? Exactly, pretty much never! I finally took the opportunity to cross a place off my ever-growing list and went for dinner at Les Trois Cochons. And I was not disappointed! The atmosphere is quite cozy (hyggelig!) and their menu is delightfully simple - at least in the evening, you receive a chef's selection of starters and desserts, and the only thing you have to choose is your main, and there are only three of those (although that doesn't make the choice easier, since they all sounded delicious). All mains have to be shared by at least two people, which may lead to some discussions in some groups. We ordered aperitifs and wine, which were served quickly. Staff was friendly, although not as knowledgeable as I'd have liked. I didn't know the fish on the menu (Danish name), and all they were able to answer was that they thought it was a white fish. Same goes for the wine menu, where our waiter didn't know much about the different wines and was quite clearly just relaying a recommendation she'd been told to give. But they were friendly and quick, so all in all it was a positive experience. The food was really, really good. Starters were a braised salmon, veal brisket with horseradish cream, and Jerusalem artichokes. For mains, I chose the fish, which turned out to be Torbay sole, was perfectly prepared and came alongside a delicious buttery sauce and boiled carrots. The other half of the table shared the entrecôte and were very happy as well. Finally, the selection of desserts was absolutely amazing: a classic, creamy creme brûlée, a very tangy passion fruit sorbet with vanilla meringues, and a lemon mousse topped with chocolate. I want all of these again, right now!! An overall very pleasant experience, and I will be coming back for sure! read more

The restaurant was packed on a Sunday night as most other restaurants are closed. I was seated at a table for two as there didn't seem to be any counter for single dinners. There is only one menu which is a prix fixe and is lot more than the $$ sign that yelp posted. The price included appetizer, entree and desert as well as a 25% service and 10% credit card fee!!! Obviously nothing I could do about both of those unexpected charges but frown. Food wise, dinner was very good - in fact for one, the portions were pretty generous as their default serving size really is for 2. The ambiance is nice although a bit dark and Im glad I was seated on the main level as they also have seating in the basement which felt a bit claustrophobic to me. Service was ok until my main course, then super slow - I ran out of wine and water. No one cared. I then waited almost 30mins between the main dish was cleared and desert brought to the table. All in all, with the cheapest wine, dinner cost 484 DKK or $75. read more

Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 3/5 I had dinner here, and overall a good time. But for the price, it leaves more to be desired. The simple bread and butter offered was the least palatable of all the heavenly bread I've had in Copenhagen. As little as this should matter, I think it does contribute to the image the restaurant wants to present, especially if it's the first thing you have. Not being too hungry, I had the baked eggplant, salted hake and grilled rump steak (Thanks to the server who recommended not getting their prix fixe option). The eggplant was interesting and certainly tasty, but the hake was surprisingly amazing. I loved the salty/zesty combo and actually saved a piece for the end of my dinner to clean my palette after the steak (which was a smart choice, it turned out). The rump steak was a different story though: The server suggested having it medium raw, but it was too chewy for my taste, and I think medium or even medium well would've been better. I ended up leaving some on the plate. The Monte Nero suggested by the server was a decent match for my request of a dry, full bodied wine. All in all, it was a good experience, albeit slightly overpriced. read more

Went here during Copenhagen dining week and was greatly surprised by the high quality and inspiring meal I had. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and was completely full which unfortunately meant that the waiters were a bit stressed. Otherwise a great evening! read more

Excellent meal in Copenhagen-- wonderful selection of new and delicious things to try when you have the set dinner menu. I really enjoyed the terrine and the canard-- and definitely save room for dessert! All three options they served were tasty and proved to be the perfect end to a lovely mea. To top it all off, the ambience and decor of the restaurant is cozy and charming and the service was great. Highly recommend! read more

Nice and cozy place with good service and really nice food. Serving sizes was quite good and really tasty. Only the coffee selection was quite small so a lattè was served as an expresso with hot milk on the side, but nothing that ruined the overall impression. read more

The service here was terrible and the food was only mediocre. I wouldn't go here. They forgot one of our dishes and when we mentioned it to them it took 45 minutes to get the dish (by which point everyone else was finished). When we got the check it was entire other issue...They added food that we never ordered...They charged us for TAP water and when we asked about it they said that it was "common in nice Danish restaurants" in an extremely condescending manner. Meanwhile, I had been to bror and Geist the previous two nights and hadn't been charged for water AT ALL, and if those aren't nice restaurants then I don't know what are. The service in general was rude and obnoxious. The food itself is only okay. We had steak and the portions were plentiful, but it actually lacked flavor (this was before all the check issues so we still had high hopes for the place), but in the end, the food was only meh. read more
