I feel it's important to share my disappointing experience in Torvehallerne at Omegn & Venner…read moreDuring our meal, our belongings were stolen, which severely affected our overall experience. Alarmingly, the staff seemed familiar with the thief/theft, even conversing with him in Roma, and appeared more upset with us for expressing our distress than with the situation itself. To make matters worse, the chef was confrontational and lacked empathy. If my customers were robbed in my establishment, I would be deeply embarrassed and would prioritize assisting them instead of responding aggressively. I was unable to pay for our meal because my device was taken, yet the restaurant insisted on charging us the full price, which we observed another patron pay. They did not contact the police or report the theft. Instead of providing assistance, we were asked to leave while the thief was allowed to walk away, despite three witnesses confirming he was the one responsible. Afterward, we approached the police, who informed us that such treatment of customers is unacceptable and raises serious safety concerns. I strongly advise potential diners to reconsider their choice of restaurant. While the food may be enjoyable, the treatment of customers left much to be desired.

Pecans, once a year, for pecan pie 7. Seafood (their fiskefrikadeller are awesome, as is the homemade remoulade) Best idea is to go here with cash in your pocket, otherwise, it's entirely possible to buy the whole store.

One thing we don't get in the US is very young or raw milk cheeses as there is a pasteurization and aging requirement. It seems that Denmark was going through some similar,though more relaxed laws on this which are changing due to a persistent Frenchman. In talking to the owner we knew that he was a food lover in general based on some questoins he asked: Owner: " what would you like to try?" Us: "What do you love?" Owner: "I love everything here!" Us: "Let's narrow it down to what you consider special. We're looking for thing we wouldn't otherwise be able to get at home" Owner *pulling out tons of samples*: "Are you going to Noma?" Us: "Yes, we are looking forward to it" Owner: "You must be rich people." Us: "Uh not really but we do love food and it's high on the list here" Owner: "Well then you will love the live Fjord Shrimp dish with the brown butter. It is fantastic!" We laugh as we try all the delicious cheese he presents.

The workers wear old school uniforms and hats to impart a time long past. Super helpful, I got into a discussion about the Medisterapolese with one butcher and I knew this place was going to be awesome.

Yes, it smells when you walk in, but you quickly forget that when you look at all the great cheeses they carry. They also have a nice selection of different liver pates from a local butcher, olives, and interesting food items. But the best kept secret is that they actually make sandwiches! Yet, not only do they make them for ONLY 40 kr, they make them with pure love. Warming the bread while you handpick what kind of meat, cheese, and extras you want on your masterpiece, they then SLICE the meat right in front of you, carefully slice a heaping portion of your choice of cheese, and then the sandwich is topped off with the warm bread from their oven, and wrapped ever so nicely. I really can't say enough about this place. The sweet old couple makes me imagine them running this shop for so many years with to much passion...you can taste the difference. If you want good value for money and a real experience, come here. It's amazing :)

I was curious but hesitant since we were already in a rush. The group I was with encouraged me to go treat myself. Best. Impulse stop. EVER. Hotel Chocolat is a British chain of cocoa bar-cafés with locations all over the UK as well as in Denmark (here in Copenhagen), Japan, Hong Kong, and New York. And it does seem like they have different TYPES of locations? But modern, high-end feeling chocolate shop in the front and café in the back. It's set up with a clean design that's very photogenic/Instgramable. They have a variation of chocolates made from cacao beans from Ecuador to Indonesia and a café that serves all kinds of mostly chocolate-y drinks and desserts. And for all the jokes about me being obsessed with chocolate, everyone was pretty involved in browsing through this store. I got the "Ice Cream of the Gods", which is a very soft serve in a cone and the option for either a chocolate or a salted caramel drizzle. And it's so GOOD. Even my dad, who was skeptical about spending money on something so simple, said it was worth it after having a taste. Translated from Chinese, the consensus was that it you could really taste the milk, which made it sweetly rich rather than richly sweet. We also happened to be there between the times they were switching out samples, so we got to try the Billionaire Shortbread Chocolate Selector (caramel, cookies, and hazelnut) and a dark chocolate bit that I didn't get the name of. In hindsight, I deeply regret that I didn't get the Billionaire Sundae, a dessert based on their Billionaire Shortbread Chocolate Selector truffle. Overall, super nice and really wish we could have hung around longer, even sit down and try out more menu items. If nothing else, drop in for a free sample, but just from what I tasted, I'd say it's worth it to make this a short stop. It's definitely on my list for the next time I'm back in Copenhagen or even London. That ice cream just made me really happy...

We bought some small samples and everybody ordered an ice cream. I would normally just take a few bites out of my wife's cone because I get nauseous after about half a cone. It's just too sweet and rich. But, she insisted on no sharing this time because she wanted the whole thing to herself. So, she ordered a rather large cone for me alone. They were right. It was not super sugary like other ice cream. The lady behind the counter said the only sugar came from the milk itself. I finished the whole cone without feeling like I'd just had a tub of butter/cream. We were only in town for a week, but managed to come back to this place for seconds. And I had another cone to myself.
