Salmon
Pat B.

While in Copenhagen we enjoyed a delicious dinner here. Seems most nicer places ask immediately "do you have a reservation" and we did not but the host was kind enough to find us a nice table. I had a salmon dish which was beyond delicious. My husband enjoyed pepper steak. We liked this place well enough to certainly return if we were in the area again.

Course 2 of 4: Mushroom Soup
Christina H.

When I say, "I want to eat an amazing meal in Copenhagen, but don't want to spend the hundreds of dollars at one of their Michelin-starred restaurants", this is exactly what I wanted. The ambiance is dimly lit, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere. I recommend making a reservation, although they do accept walk-ins if space allows. I ordered the Olive's 4 Course Menu, which included the Norwegian Salmon Tartar, Mushroom Soup, Peppercorn Steak and a Crème Brûlée. Everything was perfect: the crème brûlée was delicate and subtly sweet, the steak was cooked to perfection at a requested medium rare temperature, the soup had just the right amount of truffle to make it rich, yet homey, and the salmon tartar was exquisite. I was also able to try the Blue Mussels, and wow *chef's kiss* My last meal in Copenhagen did not disappoint!!!

Food service ambiance all lovely. You need a reservation first and more than last minute. I should add I've been here 3 times and the food was excellent

Ambiance is cozy

Excellent meal, good service in a charming atmosphere. During my visit, I ordered the four course meal (must do so as a table only) and it was outstanding: Norwegian Salmon Tartar, avocado cream, capers, freshly cut herbs Creamy Mushroom soup, mixed mushroom soup topped with truffle oil Peppercorn Steak, served with garlic mashed potatoes, braised vegetables and peppercorn sauce French Vanilla Creme Brulee I highly recommend RESERVATIONS and a visit while in Copenhagen, can't miss! 5 stars

Menu

Five stars all around! Came here because all the reviews were good and it did not disappoint. I can confirm that the mushroom soup is a must try! My mom and I both had the panko Parmesan chicken and upgraded to the goat cheese salad and were blown away. The flavors were absolutely amazing and we both cleaned out plates. We walked 1 mile out of our way to check this place out and it was worth every step. Prices were very reasonable compared to other restaurants with lesser quality food. Ambiance and service was very nice. We went late enough that we didn't need a reservation but I would highly suggest you make one.

The "self-saucing" chocolate biscuit (we'd call it artisan molten chocolate cake)
Jim R.

We enjoyed an amazing, world-class food and dining experience at this little gem of a restaurant. We started with a couple of their specialty Drinks: passionate lychee (like a glass of Hawaiian sunshine)and mango lemonade (like sitting on the beach). The menu features a wide variety of artfully crafted choices and we decided to start by sharing the lovely Goat cheese salad which had slices of warmed cheese topping a mixed green salad with dried tomatoes and sunflower seeds-fantastic. For mains I tried the tender and juicy Mustard pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes, slaw and a sweet ratatouille while my wife enjoyed the savory Pepper steak with asparagus and mashed potatoes. One of the fun things about travel is the quirky English translations at chef-driven inventive spots like this. The "Self-saucing chocolate biscuit" (aka molten chocolate cake) served with a creamy scoop of ice cream was the perfect finish to our wonderful meal. Note-this place is very popular so advanced reservations are essential-you can't just show up so plan ahead and make sure this place is on your itinerary. Highly recommended Great wines by the glass

"The Huff". Best drink in the place.

Exceptional food and service. I highly recommend the peppercorn steak or the duck. And you must try "The Huff" - best drink in the place. :) Hannah was a great server.

Copenhagen ribs
Cynthia N.

Wonderful food and service! Portion sizes were good and between the two of us we shared the ribs, creamy mushroom soup, seared salmon entree and chocolate cake. No leftovers, not stuffed, it was just the right amount of food for us. The creamy mushroom soup was absolutely amazing - rich and delicious - my favorite part of the meal. The ribs were also excellent. They were very tender with a nice slightly crispy rub. The salmon was cooked perfectly, not too overdone and the pea purée and sauce were really nice. The accompanying mix of green beans/ broccolini were also nicely cooked. All the food was timed out well and served appropriately hot. The chocolate biscuit and ice cream had nice flavors and weren't too sweet. I didn't care for the consistency of the biscuit or ice cream and would've preferred both to be less runny. I'd definitely recommend Olive Kitchen & Bar and would come back in the future. We made a reservation a few weeks prior to our visit.

Creamy Mushroom soup with Mixed Cheese Plate, glass of Malbec

Our first night in Copenhagen and we really wanted soup. The mushroom soup here was outstanding! We kept it simple (ate a lot in our last destination) so with the soup we added the cheese plate. Service was perfect, wine was great. Cute spot, wished I was more hungry to enjoy more of the menu!

Crème Brûlée
Milli B.

I saw this place had a lot of really great reviews, specifically on trip advisor and it did not disappoint. This restaurant was INSANELY good!! We had the tasting menu, a great choice. Each of the dishes had great flavor (we also did the wine pairing) our favorite part of the tasting menu was the mushroom soup. It was very creamy and had amazing flavor. The service was great and we loved the candlelight dinner. Highly recommended and we will be back

the mushroom soup was to die for. it was so good. the reviews were very accurate. I also ordered the pepper steak which was nice. the service was excellent and the waitress was very helpful. the explained each dish very nicely. I'm very glad I went there.

This was some of the best cheesecake I've ever had. I found the cafe on Yelp after the visiting the…read moreParliament tower (great view and it's free!) as it is a block away. Part of the appeal of the cafe is the overall atmosphere. The cafe in a few steps down from the street in a cozy space. Benches with throw pillows line the walls with art and plants that brighten the space. There are a few two chair tables that line the street as well. The owner is a lovely, friendly women from San Fransisco. She makes the cheesecake from scratch. She and her partner were both there during my visit and checked in to make sure all of the customers were enjoying what they ordered. I appreciated the interaction and that they cared whether I liked the cake. The cheesecake is served plain with a side of your choice of fruit sauce. I had the cherry cinnamon and it was incredible. I liked that the sauce was served on the side as it allowed you to choose the amount (though it's so good you will finish it one way or another. Apparently some people have been observed drinking what is left). The rest of the menu is fairly basic: salads, sandwiches and burritos. Considering the prices in Copenhagen, theirs were reasonable for a full sized meal (based on the other reviewer's photos). I only stopped for dessert, based on how good the cheesecake was, I would have liked to try one of the other items. High recommendation!

The cheesecake hype is real…read more Price: 50kr for take away. 60kr for dine in. Not much of a difference since CPH is freezing these days but the cake may be a bit mushed depending on your commute since the plastic box isn't a snug fit. **Tip: there is a credit card fee. Cheesecake quality: at 50kr, it's definitely steep for the smaller size. But the cheesecake still tasted divine even after the 30min commute home. It comes with several sauce options, though the owner recommended the raspberry. The cheesecake was packed full of taste without it though, so not a worry! My favorite part is the bottom crumb base. Most cheesecakes are bland or too hard for the fork to get through, but this was soft enough and flavorful that I had every last crumb. The cheesecake itself had a mouthwatering texture that melted in my mouth. TLDR: Pricey but I'd do it again.

Yup, this is one of my all-time favorite restaurants in Copenhagen!…read more I will try to keep this short and sweet, because if I start raving on, there's probably no stopping me. I've lived in New Orleans for a while, and I've been on the lookout for a place with great Southern food (House of Souls is another great address for that, btw), and I'm so, so glad that Alabama Social is here to fulfill all my cravings for hot wings, jerk chicken, and cornbread! The hot wings definitely deserve a special shout-out; as do the fries, which are just perfection, served with creole mayo. Their menu changes regularly, and they're recently started serving Po' Boy sandwiches for lunch, which I'm eager to try. Staff has always been friendly and attentive, and I'm personally a huge fan of both the location by the lakes and the interior with dark wood and open kitchen. Bottom line is, I cannot recommend this place enough, and I wish I could eat there every day (and not get fat)!

My wife's colleague suggested we try this place. Why would Americans go to an American restaurant…read morein Denmark? Because it is good. We ordered three course tasting menus, getting six different items between us: a biscuit with pulled pork and a biscuit with pulled beef for appetizers, brisket and baby back ribs for entrees along with sides that included French fries, slaw, and cornbread, chocolate and coconut sundae for dessert as well as a butterscotch pie. I also got a drink called a Harley Davidson which is their take on an old fashioned. The biscuits were smaller than a good ol American buttermilk biscuit, but stood up nicely to the pork and beef. The pork had a nice texture and a tasty Asian slaw, but there was way too much mayonnaise on top. The beef was also a nice texture but I was missing bbq sauce. The brisket entree was a small portion of tender beef topped with onions and some herbs. It wasn't quite bbq, almost more like corned beef. The ribs were charred and spicy. The overall texture and flavor was similar to Chinese spare ribs in some ways. The portion was rather generous compared to the brisket. The side dishes really stole the show. The corn bread was spot on and the accompanying sweet and spicy butter brought it to a new level. The French fries had a good texture and weren't over salted. The slaw was not mayonnaisey. It was an Asian style slaw with a light dressing. My wife asked for an extra order to go she liked it so much. Dessert was a mixed bag. The chocolate and coconut ice cream sundae was well-composed but a little gun shy on the flavors. The butterscotch pie was actually a salted caramel pie, delicious, with a buttermilk ice cream that wasn't much to my taste. Service was good and friendly. The atmosphere was approachable and unpretentious.
