Copenhagen has so many delicious restaurants and this is among our favorites. It is in a beautiful location and has a cool charming basement vibe with bottles of aquavit marinating with different seasonal blends scattered all over the restaurant. We tried the special 3 course meal, which included picking two smorrebrod (open-faced sandwiches), which are paired with their home-brewed aquavit and dessert. I tried the spiced herring which had the best blend of flavors and a small amount of miso, which gave it the umami (essence of deliciousness) flavor. Now I am not a big fan of herring, but was pleasantly surprised. The entire meal was 10/10. The only reason why it isn't a full five stars is that we waited for a long time and they forgot the dessert. After we said something, we didn't have enough time to stick around and wait for them to make it. Pro-tip: In Denmark, you need to make reservations for the majority of restaurants for lunches and dinners. So book at least the day in advance to get seated here.

Potato smorrebrod

Definitely on the pricier side, but a great place for upscale Danish food in the heart of Copenhagen. The service was excellent, and the presentation of all the food was top notch. I went for lunch and got the potato smorrebrod and it was excellent!

Sunday dinner at 7 pm - 4 courses dinner with wine pairing Service: attentive Ambiance: casual, the restaurant is located at the basement level, with no air-con, no fan, buds with flies around Pri e: it's ok Food quality: above my expectations, like the fish dish very much, great selection for the wine pairing Remarks: they charged water for 25 Kronos per person !!!

We opted out for four courses food experience with juice pairing - and weren't disappointed! The restaurant offered traditional Danish dishes with a twist. What a twist! Have never thought that potato salad can be so exciting! Each dish boasted complex combination of flavours, with ingredients complementing each other and making the food sensations more intense. The waiter describes each dish when it's being served, and also pours the sauce. The place itself is intimate and cosy, and make sure you book in advance on Friday/Saturday evenings as it's very popular!

Amazing 4 course meal. Loved that our server shared details of each course when they served it. Very cute and cozy downstairs room. Courses- Beef tartare- highlight!! Fried scallop with peas and andouille sausage Baked cod with asparagus and truffle sauce Sorbe

This is a surprising little gem in the downtown area. Surprising because it's wedged between a…read morecomedy club and a handful of so so cafés and eateries that prey on unassuming tourists, but also because the light and elegant Northern European decor doesn't quite prepare you for the authentic French bistro fare you're about to experience. The owners have a serious culinary pedigree, and don't disappoint. I've been here a few times with my mother and some friends, respectively and had seriously satisfying meals every time. Love the chèvre chaud, an old favorite, and the steak with bearnaise is always grilled to absolute juicy perfection. The sleeper hit is the salad; I just really really love a well made salad which is super simple and crunchy but with that thick and tangy mustard vinaigrette that complements everything on the plate. I haven't yet tried all the desserts, since I always go for the crème brûlée. So far I've had it paired with different sorbets, super yummy and true to the fruits, but alas I'm a purist, and really don't want anything cold and tangy interfering with my favorite pudding. Luckily my companions have been helpful in not letting anything go to waste. :) If you're ever in downtown CPH and hungry, keep this place in mind. They even have French "pizza" if you just need a quick bite during your lunch break. The staff are all super friendly and seem to genuinely love having you there. Very un-Danish in that respect. ;)
