The lettuce salad that came with my beef filet was so crisp that it seemed to have just been picked from the garden. It may not be a bad idea to try their vegetarian prix-fixe menu some time. We came as a group of five people and were given 2 hours and 15 minutes for our table. Service was attentive without being rushed. I appreciated the steady service as I did not want a protracted long dinner. The pacing was just right and we finished our courses in a timely manner.

Every visit feels like stepping into a calm little oasis. Their seasonal prix fixe menu is always a highlight. The chefs at Vækst have a real talent for taking fresh, local ingredients and turning them into something both comforting and exciting. Each course is thoughtful, balanced, and full of bright Nordic flavors. I've never had a meal there that didn't feel memorable. Whether you're going for a special occasion or just want an evening of genuinely great food in a cozy setting, Vækst delivers every time. It's the place I recommend to anyone looking for an authentic, beautifully crafted Copenhagen dining experience.

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.

They were so loud that management asked them to quiet down (which was greatly appreciated by us and others). It's an at least a 2-hr dining experience for a 5-course dining experience. 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. All the servers step up for one another as well and take their time explaining what the item is, all the ingredients and how it's prepared. Check this off your dining list while in Copenhagen!

I never thought I would be saying this about porridge of all things. But, Grød truly opened my eyes…read morein terms of how I could prepare my daily oatmeal. We tried Grød at two locations: the Torvehallerne market and at 7Eleven. The market, I ordered the Oat Porridge which came with apples, roasted almonds and caramel sauce, my mom had the All In! and my dad had the oat waffle. All of us (mostly) left satisfied. My picky father loved his waffle. And I really enjoyed the porridge I had. The oats perfectly cooked, the apples and almonds gave it a nice textural contrast. Plus the caramel, which was more like a dulce de leche added the perfect amount of sweetness without being too sweet. My mom was a bit ambivalent because the All In was too sweet. But to be fair, All In includes all of their toppings. Including chocolate and caramel so her assessment was fair! The Grød at 7Eleven had this wonderful chia pudding, layered with yogurt, natural peanut butter, a berry compote and nuts and I was obsessed. So simple, yet so wholesome. I found a cup at the airport and proceeded to import it back to the States. Overall, it was definitely worth a visit (or 2) to have my mind blown. Grød may not have intended it but this lil Westerner is now leveling up her oats game thanks to their menu!

We were interested in trying the Scandinavian cuisine, so we decided to stop by. The menu had an English section, which we appreciated. The waitstaff was friendly and patient with us. We ordered the mussel soup to share (absolutely divine. We should have ordered one for each of us instead of sharing it! It was so good!), the truffle chicken (the chicken was cooked so perfectly and was extremely tender and juicy), and the linguine (super fresh and perfectly al dente with a rich sauce). The bread with whipped butter was also great. I think the butter had truffle in it, but I'm not positive. It was delicious. The restaurant is located next to the King's Gardens and is a short walk from Norreport St metro station. The ambience is comfortable and intimate; definitely a neighborhood gem. I'm so happy we tried this place!

Brownie points sincerely for still being open at 1130pm and onwards until 2am... YES TWO AM!!…read moreAs someone who was rushing from the airport after landing at 1012pm, I truly appreciated that a local spot was still open... even though the streets were empty and we were the only table. I ordered the DANISH NATIONAL DISH and FRIED LIVER (I believe they are #19 and #20 on the menu). Interestingly, the server recommended something similar (another pork belly dish) over the national dish; stating it tastes much better and much softer... which I probably should have went with this recommendation since the national dish was TOUGH AS BONES. It wasn't crispy, chewy, or tasty. It was simply inedible. One couldn't even chew or cut through the meat... the side of skin on mini/small potatoes were simply boiled. The beet dish was delicious. The sauce didn't have much flavor (crazy how extra sauce costs 35 DKK more). The VEAL LIVER dish tasted better than the national dish ironically. Gave a tremendous portion. The potatoes were skinned. The gravy had some taste compared to the other sauce from the national dish. Decadent pickled cucumbers which provided a nice palate cleanser. Mushrooms gave a nice chew, a much appreciated and welcomed different texture. ***the bread given was not good at all*** ***it seems that water, even if it's from the sink or obviously bottled by them, costs money in any establishment*** SERVICE: Kind. Attentive. Enthusiastic. Spirited. Happy. Since it was our first meal in Copenhagen we were a tad blown away by the price tag of each meal to the point we thought it was a meal set. The server calmed down those nerves and reassured us that all dishes on the menu were à la carte. Loved the small talk he attempted :) VIBEZ: Still had Christmas/holiday decor haha. Great for a night out/date. Casual with a sprinkling of fine dining. No service fees included in the bill. Great for large groups. Located in the city. Didn't have a car; therefore, I cannot vouch for parking. Close walk from/to the metro though! Would I come back? No, but I am elated I can cross off trying the danish national dish on my bucket list. :)

There were outside tables, but it was a bit chilly, so we opted for the nearly deserted inside restaurant. We had a table near the window, so it was a great view.

BEWARE: I have been on Yelp since 2014, and this is the only one-star review I've ever given here…read more This place charges ***45 DKK PER PERSON*** (about $7.50 per person) for tap water. (It's "filtered," they insist, but that doesn't explain the extortionate price. Isn't most higher-end restaurant water filtered...? Isn't Starbucks water...?) There is no free or cheaper water option available. We asked for just one water since my companion was having beer, and they said ok, confirmed the order, took away the second glass, and then brought back the second glass a few minutes later and told us it was 45 for the carafe, so we'd be fine. And then at the end of the meal they charged us 90 (about $15) and said it was per person after all. When we tried to give feedback (my exact words were, "I will pay it, but I want to leave a comment and tell you how my experience is as a guest"), they were extremely rude and defensive. "Well, I'm not the owner, I can't change it." "This is how it is in Copenhagen." I said I understood but could you please pass our feedback to the owner, and also it's usually 20-25 DKK per table in Copenhagen, and you're charging more than 3-4x that. They kept doubling down. Personally, I would suggest saving your 90 DKK for a high-end beer, a souvenir, or really anything else besides tap water and snootiness.
