    great restaurant in one of the most symbolic streets of the city. The restaurant is of great category, with varied drinks, seafood, and everything you could wish for. Five star service. We are very pleased with the choice of this restaurant.

    Ordered the traditional Danish Meatballs…it was like Christmas in my mouth. 🎄 Highly recommend this place and this dish. Reasonably priced dinner! Nice fireplace and candles on the old Danish tables. Please do yourself a favor and eat here!!! 🇩🇰❤️🇩🇰

    Had an early dinner here today. Really lovely and comfortable atmosphere with an open fire and candles. Staff were friendly and served me promptly. Food was very tasty and looked good. Menu has a variety of local specialities including fresh fish and seafood. Definitely recommend.

    The restaurant is located in the prime area, Nyhavn harbour near the travel boat pier. Famous dishes are meatball with gravy and roast beef. Appetizer is chicken pie. Last is dessert, chocolate brownie with ice cream.

    Fresh produce that tastes amazing on baked bread. Very filling and leaves you wanting to come back for another visit. A simple meal that was made with such care. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and took time to explain things if they were asked a question. The atmosphere is inviting and welcoming. A perfect place to just sit and watch the world go by. It's a nice place to dine alone or a nice first date spot. Check it out and find out what you have been missing, especially if you're a local resident.

    We tested 3 differently prepared herrings and some snaps. Recommend!

    The receptionist at my hostel recommended this place to me as a suitable place to enjoy both inexpensive and authentic Danish food, as I'm on a tight budget and this is my first time in Denmark. Unfortunately, the only authentic part of the restaurant was the atmosphere: no one in the restaurant spoke Danish, making me unsure as to the quality of the food, as good as some of it was. I ordered the Lørom and Fried Pork Belly with Parsley Sauce. The Lørom was delicious and looked so good that I forgot to take a picture before eating as I was so hungry, but with only two small pieces of sourdough bread, it made eating the flaice, red onion, and lemon pureé very difficult. The fried pork belly was delicious: it tasted similar to bacon + pork rinds, but there was simply too much of it to eat, even with a hearty appetite. The potatoes that came with the pork rind were both too few relative to how many pieces of pork belly there were, and bland, with the parsley sauce (despite all the parsley visible in the picture) barely tasting like it you'd expect. It's my fault for not checking the Danish Krone to USD conversion before ordering, as I ended paying 78USD ($68 + $10 tip, which I was surprised to see a tip section in Denmark), where in my opinion the food was worth no more than 30USD. I'm trying not to let this experience spoil my first time in Denmark, but I think next time I'll simply go to one of the Christmas markets and get a massive hotdog or bratwurst and drink for less than $15. Overall: The staff were very nice, despite no one being Danish. While food was alright, it was not worth the price, and had unbalanced portions. Though, the atmosphere was impeccable inside.

    That's a worldwide first....Waiter told us we can have the table. We sat down. Nothing happened. As we asked after about 20 mins for a menu we were told they are understaffed, kitchen closed this for next 10 mins. So obviously they even do not manage to present this information right ahead. Or just hand out the menu then right as we got the table and to prewarn directly. And drinks aren't served either... Well, if a venue is overwhelmed with their purpose itself.....bad sign for all further aspects.

    Slow service, plain food and very few options on the menu. The only nice thing was the beer. Wouldn’t recommend.

    The food was really good we had both herring buffet and open sandwich buffet. We thought the food met or exceeded expectations and the only service was lacking due to lack of staff compared to how busy it was in the restaurant. I felt bad for our waitress .

    First time in Denmark and wanted to try an authentic meal. Most of the food was very delicious and the service was okay. Really enjoyed the salmon, chicken pies, and meatballs. Location was perfect.

  • 5/5 Monika S. 7 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    Absolutely lovely true Danish dining experience. The service was very friendly, everyone accommodated us and spoke English to us, very friendly and welcoming staff. The FOOD was to die for! Massive portion of Christmas duck meal, with red cabbage, plums and sugar glazed potatoes. Perfection was achieved with that meal. Absolutely recommend when looking for a nice Danish restaurant. They even let us book a table for 8 people only an hour before we arrived. Great place 10/10

    Best herring fish buffet ever served with brod and boiled potatoes 185per person good value of money so delicious

  • 4/5 Maukka 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent egg & shrimp Skagen toast and great feeling along the canal. Lot of people always on tourist season but worth to stay!

  • 4/5 David R. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely not a bad place to eat lunch. 👍 The price is as expected in Nyhavn and the quality of the food was fine, yet the arrangement of the food was a bit disappointing. The service was in top, but sometimes difficult to get their attention. All in all a decent experience. 😀

    We took the herrings buffet and it was really worth the price. All the herring types were awesome and the typical rice pudding as dessert was really good. The space was a bit tight, but didn’t damaged the experience.

    Good option for lunch in the heart of Copenhagen. Easy and tasty food, friendly service. Very reasonable price.

  • 2/5 K A. 1 year ago on Google
    Normally this is a great place to go for lunch as we done many times before but not today. First we thought they were short of waiters but it turns out the girl left the guy to do all the work. She was too busy drinking her drink and chatting to to boys a few restaurants down. They also had a problem replacing a couple of items on their luxury brunch as my partner is a vegetarian…. So don’t go unless you eat meat and fish really… poor vegetarian options

  • 4/5 Amy D. 2 years ago on Google
    Only reason it's not 5 star is that we weren't offered more drinks and had to go to the till to ask for the bill Open top sandwiches were perfect: I had the fishcake on rye bread and the roulade was divine!! Friendly service and nice ambiance. Would recommend

  • 5/5 Cesare F. 2 years ago on Google
    Herrings as starters are fantastic. I taste meat balls with salad and potatoes. Very good. And pleasant fireplace. Very good experience

  • 4/5 Adriana C. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered salmon smørrebrød which was 85DKK (about 12,15 €). We didn’t really expect much,because we thought it was just a toast with toppings (on top), but even though it wasn’t the cheapest lunch option, we were surprised about how good it was, the salmon was delicious and the bread was nice and toasted and spread with butter. A must try if you go to Copenhagen, maybe don’t go to a place that’s literally in Nyhavn, because it’s more expensive. The waiter was polite and let us charge our phone there. It was nice to have lunch by the harbour.

  • 4/5 Francesco X. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been in this restaurant because I wanted to try the typical danish dish, the Smørrebrød, and here you can find many of them. I've had the one with salmon and the one with egg and shrimps and both were good. The place inside is cozy and the waitress was very kind. Price are high, but in line with Copenhagen average.

    This place was awesome and rustic! Our waitress was so kind and had wonderful suggestions. I got the traditional meatballs and they were the best thing I had my whole trip! So flavorful and delicious. This place was top notch and right along the harbor, it was amazing!

  • 1/5 Su S. 4 years ago on Google
    We have the pork selection in this restaurant! Even though it looks fancy! But taste really bad for me ! I think they reuse the oil which they fried the fish to fried the pork! Always feeling the smell of fish while having the pork. The meat is really tough to chew. Maybe I order the wrong dishes! But feeling really disappointed with that! The decoration of the restaurant and service attitude is fine for me!

  • 2/5 Paul Simon S. 2 years ago on Google
    Incompetent service! They told us 2 times after waiting 15 minutes that our food is not available and sold out. The steak was small with 1 potatoe and 5 beans as a side (main course). The heering was too salty. Although it was meant to be salty, the staff could have warned us. Very unpleasant experience. 2 stars for the location.

  • 5/5 Martin H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place for a classic julefrokost. Highly recommended. Fast and accurate service.

  • 5/5 Nena G. 2 years ago on Google
    A very good choice to taste open sandwiches with salmon. The meatballs and tge onionsoup are realy tasty. Waiters are a little bit slow but all friendly. Give it a try on a lazy day!

  • 4/5 Raymond C. 2 years ago on Google
    The herring and aquavit was great and service was excellent.

  • 5/5 Evgeny L. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, good service :) Really good sill plate

  • 4/5 Jeremy G. 2 years ago on Google
    Good experience overall: good food, warm people. Only point to pay attention to: they close early (earlier than expected: on a Sunday they were closing before 7, so we had no time for dessert)

  • 3/5 Fredrik N. 2 years ago on Google
    We have been here a number of times,the herring buffet is not as good as it was,but still the best in Copenhagen!Sitting outside,with the crowd passing by,is great for people watching.I became member of the Tholstrup Club,mentioned it in my reservation,spent 1700 DK for four,so expected the promised 20% discount,but so far no reaction.

  • 4/5 Benny B. K. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect place to meet with friends for few drinks. Great international atmosphere, where you can sit and relax while observing tourist and visitors from all over the world

  • 5/5 Charlotte W. 2 years ago on Google
    Quality dishes and lovely setting. Went back multiple times during our visit to Copenhagen as the service was great and the food was spectacular!

  • 5/5 Stephanie B. 2 years ago on Google
    For traditional Danish food, this is your spot. The staff is very warm and welcoming. They answered our questions and told us about the food. The restaurant was recommended as the place to go for Danish food set in an historical building that maintains the original elements. The herring varieties were excellent and great quality. The food also tastes like good, home-cooking which brought comfort to this weary traveler. Wonderful experience and a must for Nyhavn.

    Food is good. Not extraordinary but just good enough. Portions are ridiculously generous. Staff is alright, although a bit slow. Excellent location and ambiance is a plus
