It's not *that* hard to find. Entrance to the right of this sign, then go up the interior stairs (not the scaffold stairs shown here).
Joseph M.

First if all, it's not *that* hard to find. Go in the main entrance to Christiania, it's in the big set of brick buildings on the left. Look for the giant sign that marks where the restaurant is (see my picture; it's past Cafe Loppen, don't get confused), the entrance is to the right of the sign, where a smaller sign points you up a couple of flights of stairs. It is also not as fancy as the website suggests. It's a paper-napkin and paper-placement kind of place, not cloth. I worried that wearing a t-shirt I would be underdressed, despite being inside Christiania. I need not have worried; it's casual. We called in a reservation but there were always open tables the entire time we were there (a Wednesday in early August). The service was exceptional. When we went, there was one table of 47 people (we asked) down the center of the space, all university-age, and then a few other tables of three or four, like us. When I saw that, I worried that the wait staff and the kitchen would be a bit overwhelmed and food/service would be slow. Right after we ordered we watched two or three servers bring entrees to all forty-seven people within about five minutes, one of the more impressive feats of restauranteuring I have ever seen. A fair number of restaurants don't even seem to be able to serve entrees at the same time to a table of three or four. Adding to the exceptional-ness was the fact that our waitress (didn't catch her name, but a redhead), while simultaneously helping with service at the big table, waited on our table like we were the only table there. Attentive, relaxed, super-friendly and cheerful, but not interfering or hovering. I told her that I was impressed how quickly they got the big table's food out, she said, "Well, it's only forty seven. Not that difficult, really." If you have a big group for dinner, this is your place! It was above-average loudness, requiring raised voices to hear each other. If you're looking for a quiet place, this probably is not it. The large party made it worse, but it seems like large parties might be common; there is little to absorb sound and the windows are closed due to the building design. It's good for children. We brought our six-month old with a small play-mat and set her on the floor. No one minded. An advantage of being loud is that no one notices if your child is making noise. The menu was very good with some unusual things you might not get elsewhere: we had three people, who ordered, cockerel, venison, and the vegetarian quiche respectively. Food preparation was solid but not stunning: no one was unhappy, but no one was blown away. Venison was a bit gamy, but then that's venison. Cockerel was like chicken but a bit more tender. Veggie quiche was respectable. Portions larger than average but not gigantic. Each plate had delicious sides.

Absolutely love this place. It's right in the middle of an artsy/hippie community. Surrounded by graffiti art, music, culture. Initially walking in it seems sketchy but don't be fooled. The host was very welcoming. They served fresh homemade bread and butter. We ordered the chèvre chaud appetizer and the vegetarian entrée, both dishes were amazing. Full of flavor and plenty of food. Highly recommended

The Guinea fowl was tender and juicy with wonderfully crispy skin

Look: the food is not very good, it's unambitious and sloppily prepared. You can get MUCH better food in Copenhagen in this price range.

Great restaurant in Copenhagen. The waffle dish was amazing and I wish I could have it again…read more Everything was cooked perfectly. However, the schnitzel was a bit too salty and the tartare was too soft. The radish did however help with the texture a bit. The oyster dish was tiny but worth the delicious bite. The best thing was the service. Everyone was so kind, attentive, and knew the menu/drinks very well. The ambiance of the restaurant is also great and cozy.

Our hotel suggested the restaurant and made the reservation.Before going, I didn't know what to…read moreexpect. I just wanted a good meal. It's located near canals, a museum, and several bustling restaurants. It's in the original Noma space, so most customers have high expectations. Atmosphere: The interior is Nordic chic, rustic and elegant. Even though we had a reservation, we were seated at a long table with other guests. At the time we were there, the angle of the sun hit me right in the eyes and I had trouble reading the menu and seeing for a few minutes. Their curtains are sheer, so they didn't help. The captain apologized, and said there was nothing he could do. Service: we were seated and given drinks menus. Everyone around us was served water, given menus and a description of what was available. Finally, a server came by to take our order, apologized for us not having menus nor water. I requested tap water, so I was surprised to be charged 30krone per carafe. Food: Every item shows technical proficiency and attention to detail. We ordered the schnitzel. It came with a small serving of fresh peas, cream, horseradish and a brown butter sauce. It was delicious. I would have liked more horseradish and peas. The sautéed leeks were served with salad greens and hard to cut. They tasted fine, but a sharper knife would have been appreciated; through our meal, no one came by. We also tried the hake. It looked small, but was very filling.

We made reservations for the opening and there were just a couple groups in line when we arrived…read more Inside was compact but good spacing between tables. Decor was bright and colorful. They served both seafood and steaks but more seafood options. There also was a 3 and 4 course option for those hungry diners. We started with a single plate of fried squid that was a good size for us to share. Most were cut into French fry like sticks which was different presentation and then fried. All pieces weee dusted with paprika and came with a side of lemon mayo for dipping. Squid had a good chew to it and a good start off to our dinner. Mussels came in a huge pot, the largest serving to date. We ended up filling two bowls with shells. The wine broth was quite delicious and the bread was perfect for dipping and soaking up that goodness. The whole seabass was another well done dish covered in greens and easy to debone. The fish was light and tender. Service was attentive. A bread service per person was added to the check. Tiny restrooms were located next to the check in desk. The restaurant was quite busy by the time we left. We finished in less than the 2 hour time allotment noted in our reservation. Would revisit should we have the opportunity to return to Copenhagen.

What a neat spot tucked away in the Norrebro neighborhood. It was our first dinner in Copenhagen…read moreand they did not disappoint! We order 1/2 doz if oysters to share. I ordered the moules marinieres (mussels) and my fiance ordered the fish collar. The portions were large, as I didn't expect my moules to be such a large bowl. But honestly, not a complaint! Fries, salad, all entrees were delectable. No notes. Service was friendly and in Europe, definitely not fast paced like in USA. I didn't care as we had no urgency and on vacation. What a way to start off my European trip!

I made the mistake of mapping the restaurant via Yelp, Studio had just relocated. So we got to…read moretheir old location by foot and found nothing. Dialed the restaurant and found out we were about 3 miles away and CPH only has taxis - so we had to walk back to the city center to hail one. Front of the house was so graceful about the whole ordeal - told us not to worry and to just get their safely. Truly took the burden off us! The food - let it take you on a head to tail journey. Incredibly well thought out food - locally foraged and harvested ingredients. A beautiful bounty of Scandinavian ingredients, manipulated with the utmost precision. Chef presented several of the courses - inspiring to hear the descriptions from the creator himself and he was so authentically engaged when we peppered him with questions. At the end of the night it was a bit challenging getting a taxi back - even Chef got involved in the process. The humility and graciousness, stunning. All memorable and fantastic. Wouldn't change a thing.

This was the most underwhelming meal in Copenhagen for me. This review is a few weeks late (i…read morevisited CPH last month). The location is awesome, the staff are great and friendly. Chef Alan Bates was pretty good in conversation. But, the food just didn't hit the mark. I was there lunch time and ordered 5 course menu (they only have that for lunches, otherwise you can go for more traditional 9 course menu). The trout tart looked beautiful, didn't have much of wow factor in taste though. The pasta dish was good with ton of truffle shavings. The main meat dish was not at all there. I mean it was cooked nice but there was a side of tempura made from pig-brain if i remember correctly, and it was pretty bad!! Not fried well, was chewy and the fried batter coating got badly stuck on my teeth! Dessert was good.
