(Its not that expensive for what they put out and the quality of the products and service). I felt like i was in an episode of Bravo TV Top Chef Masters watching the kitchen hum, the detailed food plating, the staff being all hands on deck so the customer gets to experience the food as it was indented... hot, bright, intoxicating. -my tastebuds were being lit up with the modern flavors of old world fire food prep.. just the right amt of char, smoke, acid, sweet, salty and umami. Can I just tell you i was the lucky one tonight. Landed after 11+ hrs from Los Angeles, took a nap then was ready for dinner at 9pm DK time (I usually dont eat this late). After yelping a bunch of places to eat some cool local food i just decided to stay in the hotel and try Basalt.. so glad I did! Note: so refreshing to see very little "glow faces" (folks stuck to their iphones over dinner). 1. Its upstairs from the Lobby tucked away in a very unassuming corner of the hotel. If you are coming just to eat here I'd make resos.. yes i feel its that good! And its a compact space. Big foodie.. ask to sit at the bar. So you can see the action.. there is maybe only 8-10 spaces. If this was LA you would pay "more" to sit here because its like sitting at a chefa table.. seeing and feeling like you are apart of the action. Lay out: -cool fresh plant wall -temp perfect even if its cold outside to wear a cute dress -low lighting (not too low that you can see the menu) -soft trendy music so you can have nice convos -it was a full house at 930pm on a sat.. i found a nice spot at the bar overlooking the plating area (best seat in the house!) if you are a foodie 2. Awesome and attentive service 3. Featuring seasonal and local produce..and amazing protoens, and very on trend gastronomy type of food that is mixed with fire made proteins. You can still tell this is very close to the scandinavian roots with a modern twist 4. Great wine selection (the sommelier aka front of the house man tonight was jovial, asked what I liked and came over with 3 bottles to try that would bill by the glass) based on my main course plans. 5. I like a salad as my 1st or 2nd course.. you have to ask for the vegetarian menu and they have beautiful options. 6. What I ate: -fantastic fresh salad with a light dressing. Bold greens, ripe tomatoes, blanched cauliflower,toasted sunflower seeds.. yum! It was a big salad. -Mussels. Deliciously fresh, hints of dill, light cream, shallots, heavier acid to offset the fresh local mussel. Roasted in a beautiful cooking vessel with light hints of smoke from the fire. The sauce I finished with a spoon it made for a delicious soup! There was an amazing oil that floated on top of this dish that really set it off. -bread.. dont be on your carb high horse.. take a pause for today...fresh made dark bread.. amazing unsalted in house made brown whipped butter with micro greens, fresh sea salt. Yum! Went well with my mussels. The butter is buttah! i passed on dessert. Too full. I was extremely entertained and intrigued by watching the pulse of the kitchen working in harmony during sat night "rush hour dining". Most plates had at least 4-8 finishing steps in the plating and goodness knows how much other prep went down in the back of the kitchen. I leave very impressed and hope more yelpers and foodies will visit this hidden gem away from the city center of Copenhagen. Well done folks! Id come back for sure! Goes down in one of my tops in foodie experiences!

This was our first restaurant in Copenhagen and I was surprised how busy it was at lunchtime…read more Apparently, we should have made a reservation. However, although the ground floor of the restaurant was fun, there was room for us in the second room, which was down a level. The ambiance at Restaurant Karla is welcoming and cozy, in the Danish sense of the word "hygge." I was more than ready to try an open-faced sandwich and mine was the roast beef with horseradish (I omitted this since I'm not a horseradish fan), remoulade and roasted onions. The roast beef was excellent and the sauce and onions added great flavor. My wife had a brie, crackers, and grapes plate, which was nothing special and cost the same as my roast beef sandwich $14 (high for what she got). However, she enjoyed the potato-leek soup with bacon, chives and homemade bread (although again high priced) at $17. Our total bill (including soda) was $61.

Lastly, the restaurant offered great and relaxing views of the canal, and the staff was attentive and relaxed. I really enjoyed my lunch.

Amazing meal in a very cozy environment!…read more We opted to sit by the open kitchen (front of the restaurant) so we can chat with the chefs...it was the best decision as we learned so much about the cuisine and the culture on our first night in Copenhagen. We chose the 3 course option and my friend and I picked 2 different choices for each course so we can try different food. For appetizers, we had the salted cod and the veal tartare. Both were equally delicious and the combination of ingredients were very creative. For entrees, I enjoyed the fish (fried plaice) a lot while my friend liked her pork belly. I am more of a seafood person and the fried plaice was definitely up my alley! For desserts, both choices (sorbet and apple trifle) were simply amazing. The presentation for all the dishes were very well done and each course showcased all the fresh and local ingredients that Denmark has to offer! The bread and the butter were so yummy that we couldn't stop eating. We happened to be there when the restaurant was celebrating their 7th birthday so the sommelier poured us extra wine and gave us a shot of schnapps! The staffs/chefs were all very friendly and funny! Not to mention, the price for the quality that we received was very reasonable! We had a blast there! Make sure you ask about the story behind "pony".

We had a great dinner here the other night…read more Restaurant has a cozy bistro feel - muted tones with plants on the windowsills and candles on every table. We were early for our reservation but was no problem to get seated right away as the restaurant wasn't too busy on a Tuesday evening. Service was friendly and professional. It's a small menu with 3 choices each for appetizers, mains, and desserts. We chose 3 courses for 425DKK which I think was decent value. The food was very good. I think I'd describe it as elevated comfort food - dishes were filling and delicious but flavour combinations were unique and there were some more 'modern' touches (foam, dots of sauces, etc), which added to the dishes rather than overwhelmed them. We started with delicious, hearty bread served with a huge pillow of airy butter (the server told us it had been whipped with buttermilk). The Danes really do great bread! I also had a delicious glass of sparkling wine. We were able to taste the wine before the server poured the whole glass which is always a nice touch. Unlimited water (either still or sparkling) was included for 15DKK (although I only found this out later when we got the bill). I started with steamed mussels which were served with carrot puree, red onion, fennel, and celery. Mussels were served on a plate without the shells, with garnishes mixed in. For the main I had roasted cod, with spinach and potatoes on the side along with celeriac foam, topped with bacon and crisped potatoes. For dessert I chose the raspberry dish, which was a scoop of vanilla ice cream surrounded by raspberries, toasted meringue, and crumbled almond cookies. I don't think this was the best meal I've ever had, but in terms of value in such a pricey city and the great service, it's definitely worth a visit.

The place was bustling, but not too loud and not too quiet. We had a renovation, so we got seated immediately. Throughout the night our service was great. Our waitress was very nice, and we got attended to all the time (not to the point of annoyance), with no plates piling up. All the food was fantastic. We each had a multi-course menu, and the food was great. I wanted the pimientos de padrón but didn't end up getting them. Would recommend a visit for large or small groups.

There is really nothing to do around here which means you have to get in a cab or train to get anywhere. Other than that it's great. It was awarded the worlds greenest hotel in 2010 and there is a lot of things you can read up about it. The rooms are nice, clean and well maintained. The bed is nice and there is a bar and restaurant as well as breakfast room. I did not eat here so cannot comment on the food. Staff are very friendly and helpful and all in all it's a nice hotel experience. It's a shame about the location. It's about 5km to downtown Copenhagen from here. I would come back here again.

Amager, we love you even more…read more Never would we have thought that a craft beer place would come to this part of the town, but it does and we're happy for it. The place used to house a shabby old bodega, but this bar has totally renovated the place and it looks so cosy (albeit dark). The tap list (24 taps?) was excellent last time I was there. I got to try the Marshmallow Porter from Tiny Rebels, Mango Hallonfeber from Brewski and the delicious (and spicy) Thai Speedway Stout from Alesmith. The price might be a little bit higher than those places downtown, but since we can walk to this place, instead of going "all-the-way" to the centrum, we're happy with it. Skål for more beers in the future. May you stay and prosper, Hop House!
