Beautiful restaurant with delicious Asian fusion cooking and excellent service. You can choose a set menu or pick your own dishes from the à la carte menu. The starters are nice, but not mind blowing. We tried fried and fresh rolls with different fillings, pomelo salad and ceviche. The main course of duck however was DELICIOUS, can highly recommend it. It came with two rice cubes that were rock hard and actually quite tasteless. I also recommend the Passion fruit lemonade which is like a dessert on its own with hints of vanilla and ginger in it. So good! Overall, dinner at this restaurant is a very pleasant experience, with the stylish yet comfortable interior, great service and quality food. read more

I've been waiting to go here since I came to Copenhagen about one month ago. I picked the full restaurant for my first try. I sat at the bar which is unusual here. I had my first dirty martini I was grateful for that. I would say the menu is good but it is a bit pricey for the portion size which is the usual here in Denmark. I would've probably eaten more if the prices weren't quite so high. I just can't seem to get around spending so much money for such little portions. 3 Vietnamese rolls and a bowl of Pho, some sticky fried rice squares and a martini cost $468 DKK @ 70.00 US. I know I'm going on and on about the money but I really am a spender on food so if I think it's expensive, it's expensive... I will go down The street next time and get the takeout from the take out LeLe. The food at the restaurant was well presented, explained nicely, the bartender was very good. It is a great date place. But I can't say it was as good as I anticipated. The beef wonton in the Pho were a tasty surprise. I am giving it a four star because you can eat at the bar, it's a comfortable atmosphere, and the waitstaff is attentive and friendly. read more

If you are used to great tasting Vietnamese, you will be disappointed. Although this is more of a fusion resto, the dishes need some improvement. The spring rolls were ok, and so it the beef lemongrass salad. But the pork bowl is strongly not recommended. read more

Never been here for dinner, only been here for the (Asian) brunch. What do you know? In a place like Copenhagen where brunch means standardized omelette, sausage on the side topped with limp bacon, this place actually serves Asian brunch - and by Asian I mean anything that you usually NOT eat in the morning in Denmark - just like the way we do it in Asia. Pad thai, sushi, sashimi, congee (although a bit on the watery side), springrolls, fried rice, you name it. I'm usually scared of Asian restaurants that offer buffet, but for this one, I'm glad. The price is only around 150 kr, which is a good deal considering it's all-you-can-eat ASIAN brunch (Asian is the key word here). There are obviously other standard brunch menu like sausage and bacon, but who really cares? It's good value considering you get to be decadent and healthy at the same time by having fruit dessert, dipped in chocolate fountain. PS: don't bother ordering drinks, they have orange juice for free! See, good deal! read more

LêLê is the perfect frame for a good night out. The atmosphere is always buzzing and good, The food is fresh and tasty and the cocktails are delicious. I prefer ordering a little bit of everything and share with friends. That way I don't have to decide, but can have all my favorites. Last time I was here with a vegetarian friend and they gladly mentioned all the dishes that could easily be served as so. It all turned out as flavorful and delicious as per usual. read more

You realize it is like fast food place when you step inside, they hide it well from the street. They do serve very healthy food and it is tasty. I just do not like the whole eating in a huge hall will a lot of people talking so the noise to much and you will have to shout to communicate read more

Bad customer service. They had no more clean forks so I asked for one. Three times. While standing in front of her. She looked right through me and I gave up. Went to the kitchen and asked them for it instead. They looked a bit surprised but they at least found one within a few seconds. read more

I can't believe this place doesn't have higher reviews! I stayed in Copenhagen for a week and ate here 3 times! The food is so flavorful and they really put a lot of pride in using fresh ingredients and staying authentic. As I stated in the review of the more informal Lele down the street from this one: I met the owner of LeLe who talked about her upbringing in Vietnam and the blood, sweat, and tears that went into opening and maintaining her 3 restaurants (and also cook books and I think TV appearances?) and it makes sense why the food is so good. It is truly authentic and hasn't been Westernized. I am dying to go back to Copenhagen just to come here again! read more

We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, my favorite dish was the kingfish ceviche. The service was friendly, but not very attentive. We had to remind them of what to bring us, and timings between dishes and drinks could be improved. Yet, the food was really good, well worth a visit! read more

I love visiting LeLe - I am just absolutely smitten by this place. Let me emphasis that it is NOT the food that draws me to this place. The food is OK, I'll rate it a 3 as you can find better and cheaper Vietnamese restaurants in Cph. For me LeLe is a about the vibe and atmosphere. It's chic and cool - and given the size of the place, you can often just pop in without reservation and get a table. If lucky, they won't have space straight away and you get to hang out and talk to the friendly crowd in their lovely little cocktail bar sipping your cosmo or something equally gorgeous while waiting to be seated. For me, this is a favourite pre-party spot in Cph. read more

My starter was well presented and the waiter explained each dish clearly. The crab and duck tasted quite good. The beef short ribs were very tender, moist and well seasoned. Would recommend it. read more

Lêlê was the place my wife and I would go for our default date night if we wanted something we enjoyed and didn't want to explore. They changed the menu earlier this year so not all the main courses are the same. There is a new pork dish that is really delicious but frankly it was so heavy that I felt overdosed before I finished it. Many good appetizers though. I really like the wontons that are made with shrimp and turkey. Drinks are terrific but Copenhagen-expensive (90-100 dkk). My favorite is the mojito which they actually refer to by some other name but if you ask for a mojito you get it. After they muddle the lime they pour in the golden sugar syrup that I can't find in the US. The whole tart, fizzy, lime-y drink is bliss. Weekends there is a wait but you can sit at the bar till they buzz your number. read more

Nicely layout and posh. The menu has some reasonable items you would typically find in any VN restaurants all over the world. The food came, nicely prepared, but it can use more spice for my taste. Perhaps because the chef felt that the taste needs to be modified to fuse into local Danish taste buds. read more

Last time I went to LeLe I ended up with a bad stomach. Not at all pleasant. The food when it went in was good, just to bad that it in record time elected to exit the same way in came. Having a 5 hour flight the next day at 5 am made for quite possible the worst fight of my life. And I'll never return to LeLe. read more

Hanoi Duck please! I had one of my BEST meals in Copenhagen here! I was walking around Vesterbro on a busy night but decided to take a chance even though I did not have a reservation. They seated me with a smile. Since I tend to travel and dine alone, I usually get stuck at the bar or a table tucked in a corner but the waitstaff placed me in the middle of the main dining room and it was delightful! Folks were having fun, enjoying their food and conversation. My waiter suggested great wine and gave just enough small talk to lull me into a state of both excitement (about the food) and a relaxing comfort zone. I was just enthralled in the flavors of my food and wine. Simply divine! read more

Restaurant Lele was a treat for us after a day of waking all over Copenhagen. We arrived at 6:50 PM for our 7 PM reservation. There was a little mix up with our reservation. However, they sat us down in an outdoor table. We ordered our cocktails. Mango and lychee martinis. They were delicious. For entrees, we ordered crispy roll, prawns, kingfish, pho bo, and mullet. All the dishes were flavorful and tasty. The service was excellent. Definitely worth going back. A must try in Copenhagen. read more

i came here for dinner last summer while i was in copenhagen. since i arrived pretty late (even though it was still completely light out), i didn't want to go far, and the restaurant was right by my hotel. the inside was quite a scene, and there was a dj playing ambient music. i ordered the claypot fish which came w/ vermicelli on the side. the sauce had dill, which is unusual for viet food, but it guess it was given a scandinavian twist. i also ordered a glass of wine, and the total came out to be about $50, which i would never pay for vietnamese food back home. food was good, but not worth the price tag. read more

these 3.5 stars are for the weekend brunch buffet! dinner is probably only 2 stars.. service is on the slow side because there are very few waitresses to go around all the tables. there are a couple guys behind the bar but they won't help while they are waiting to make drinks; they will just stand there while the waitresses are running around. once you get seated and place your drink order, the rest is up to you. i would have given lêlê the full 4 stars if the service was a bit better.. stay away from the 'western' offerings; you can get that anywhere else in copenhagen. besides, the bacon looks nearly steamed in the buffet warmer and the scrambled eggs have been sitting a while. i go straight for the steamed prawns, raw salmon, chicken skewers (you can actually taste the lemongrass and kafir lime leaves), and fried wontons. there are also salmon sushi rolls and a couple other dishes in rotation. the congee is not that great... pretty thin and there is parsley and chives in it instead of spring onion. also their rice noodles are unfortunately under-cooked sometimes.. nice if you like very al dente, i suppose. for dessert there are a couple cakes or pies on offer, along with fresh fruit and marshmallows and... a chocolate fountain!! yes, you get to dip the sweets in liquid chocolate. yum!! this alone is almost worth the buffet price of 155kr. there is usually at least one exotic fruit among the usual orange and pineapple. last time it was dragonfruit and today was wax apple. nice touch. bottom line is that there are several great offerings at lêlê, and if you stick to them and don't waste your stomach space on the fillers then it will be worth every krone.

Dinner was decent. My appetizer was just alright. I got the mussels, which were decent and had a nice flavour, but nothing to write him about. The cocktail I got was delicious, but very expensive. So overall, not worth the price. The server was very friendly and very helpful. HERE'S WHERE THINGS WENT WRONG: Before the end of the meal, I asked for a glass of white wine to accompany my mussels. The waiter asked me what I wanted and I asked him to recommend something. He indicated he knew what to bring, and he walked away. I have done this all over the world in many restaurants and it's always been fine. The waiter returned with a glass of wine, and he gave no extra information. Imagine my surprise when I got the bill and learned that my glass of white wine was 125 krone, or approximately $19. You really think a waiter shouldn't tell a customer if a glass of wine he's "suggesting" is almost $20 before he brings it?? That's the price of a dish! I have never in my life, even in the most expensive restaurants, had a waiter pull a stunt like that. Waiters normally will give you options and say "we have this" and point on the menu so you know which one he is bringing. That should have been a clue. I'm sorry, this left a really bad taste in my mouth, and frankly, it felt really sneaky. I normally tip really well and I didn't leave him a penny. From now on, I will ask waiters to confirm the price of a wine they suggest. Yikes! read more

Incredible fresh Vietnamese food with fresh spices. Absolutely tasty. Special atmosphere, stylish mega-street-kitchen. Best Vietnamese food I had in Europe. read more

Great place: nice trendy atmosphere, great service and most importantly: really good Vietnamese cuisine. Only downside: it is a bit on the expensive side. Whenever you go to LêLê, you're up for a good night out. Both for just two people or a group of 4-6 friends, you can easily spend three hours in the fashionable, almost lounge like setting of this restaurant without a second of boredom. Making reservations is advisable but if you don't have any, no problem. Just take a seat at the entrance bar and buy yourself a cocktail - or any other beverages for that matter - to get your appetite going, while you wait for your table to be ready. Situated in a corner building, it feels like the big street windows of LêLê bring the Vesterbro vibe inside. The hip and classy dark club-like interior does the rest. The friendly and enthusiastic waiters will kindly provide you with a good wine list and most importantly with some good advice on what to take, if asked. That also goes for the menu with lot's of exquisite Vietnamese dishes to choose from. The food does right to the overall impression of LêLê as a 'place to be' (seen). Not serving excessive portions, you will still be very much satisfied when you're ready for your after dinner beverage. The quality lies in carefully prepared dishes (which are also a sight for sore eyes) of a seemingly non-compromising nature to the original Vietnamese cuisine. Of course there are always some downsides. In the case of LêLê however, they are almost all negligible. It can get a bid cramped up because of the large amount of people the restaurants serves. There is quite some volume coming from the chatter around you. And last but not least: when you're on a budget you should probably skip this place. You can only do right to the experience if you're also comfortable to pay for it. read more

This place has truly gone up in price, and down in service and quality. I first went to LeLe 6 years ago when I was living in Copenhagen and it was THE place to go in Vesterbro. I can not believe how overpriced it now is...Tonight I had overcooked duck breast served to me (for a small fortune), and the waiter did nothing to smooth the waters. I did not want a second disaster duck breast or a desert. i ordered another drink, and when the bill came, he didn't even have the decency to buy my a 50 kroner beer! Also Dane....LeLe is now apparently too fancy to serve Danish beer on draft. I will never try this place again. I spent years singing its praises to fellow travelers to Copenhagen and boy, what a mistake. read more

If you'd like to get a decent Vietnamese food with good wine selection it's a place to go. We ordered pho soup spring rolls and duck. Duck was good but it was bit tough. Pho is very different than the one served in the US, I'm not sure if it's more authentic but it had much less meat and noodle and more soup. Service was good with knowledgeable waiter who checked on us frequently. However, for the quality of food and the environment I felt it was bit overpriced than usual. read more

Price and Food very good. Service also. To ervery dish you get an information how you eat it.

Nice atmosphere but the staff was a bit rude and didn't seem to have knowledge about what was being served. The food varied a lot in taste and quality, some really good and others we could live without. Drinks were bland read more
