    THE BEEF TARTAR GAVE US FOOD POISONING. Service was also HORRIBLE. Food was LACKLUSTER. I like snails and I like beef tartar but this place is not the place for them. The snails I had to dig so much to get the meat out. The beef tartar had so much vinegar that i didn't even finish it. Only picked the fries but no one came to ask me about my meal to even return it...all servers kept avoiding us. Never got our water when we reminded our server many times about it. Never got our receipt and had to remind them over and over too. We all ended up with food poisoning from the beef tartar and wrote an email which was ignored...to all international travelers I wouldn't recommend eating here, not worth your time and money in CPH

    We had a late lunch here the other day and it was decent. I had the avocado salad which was fine although could have had more greens. (I also asked to add chicken but the server must have missed it, no chicken.) My boyfriend had a burger and fries. We also ordered a side of onion rings. The fries and onion rings were both delicious, really hot and flavourful. Everything else was just ok. Service was a little slow and we seemed to have multiple servers which was confusing. Interior of the restaurant is really nice. I liked the colours (white walls with hunter green chairs and dark brown accents) and there were lots of candles around. This seems to be a huge restaurant, with the front room (visible from the street) and a back room down the hallway with the bathrooms. Overall an okay meal but a little expensive considering the food and service wasn't great. You'll probably get better value by going a little further north away from the metro station and tourist areas.

    Delicious rye bread, granola/skyr and truffle eggs with a glass of juice.

    If you are visiting Denmark from Sweden - don't be confused that the Swedish word for breakfast is Frukost, which is lunch in Danish. Whether that is because Danes snooze until noon or if Swedes eat lunch for breakfast remains to be discovered. Anyway, if you're going for an early bite of food (morgenmad) - try the regular breakfast for 100DKK and upgrade with truffle flavored eggs and a cup of coffee/tea. Delicious and good size of the portions. You get two slices of rye bread with tasty cheese & butter (they look a bit dull but don't be fooled). The granola with the skyr was great, delicious with interesting flavors marrying each other, in a happy way (might have been some sugar in it - forgot to ask - but didn't care so much this morning). It took some time before I got my food but since I arrived just after the opening and a few customers were already there - that might have explained it. Calm and soothing background music. Worthy a visit!

    Cheeseburger & fries ! Lunch Menu

    I've been here numerous time, and I love this place ! This is a really good place to go either for a intimate dinner or for a big group. In big groups we usually get the Grilled beef cuvette which is 200kr each, cut our own meat with a side of fries and salad. When the meat is finished they'll bring you more, (the sides you'll have to buy extra on the side once finishing the first that's included) This is on my Top list of steak places to go in Copenhagen. Highly recommend!

    I will admit that since living in Copenhagen I have avoided Bistro Royal afraid of price gouging for fair fare due to its prime location in the center of the tourist thoroughfare in town. Convinced to step in with friends for lunch, I am happy to stand corrected. Delicious dishes with drinks under 150dkk each. I had the fjord shrimp and egg on rye bread with greens - fresh, yummy and not over dressed. My husband enjoyed the tartare with the most tasty aioli and fries. Our friend was happy with her burger. The location is prime for people watching out the window. Grab a booth on the Gothersgade side and enjoy the view. Classy but modern interior made for a lovely atmosphere inside. Service attentive and helpful. Check out the blue tiles in the bathrooms - I'm in love!

    I was there yesterday for dinner. My absolute favorite dinner place is Madklubben, and this is one of their restaurants. The service was excellent! Your table is booked for 2 hours, and the service is so fast that you have time to eat the appetizer, main course & the dessert before you leave. The music is a little bit loud and the sound is not so good. The room gets very noise when people talk but it dosen't matter cause everything else is perfect :-) Remember to book 3-4 days before if you're planning on eating there Friday or Saturday night, cause it's almost always booked. The prices are very nice :-)

    Moules Marinieres. Blue Mussles steamed in white wine!
    Maria D.

    Good service. Decent food. Two things I mainly look for in a restaurant. The ambiance comes next. They have 100 dkk lunch meals - which I think cheap by Denmark standards Dinner meals cost more. And since this is a Danish-French bistro, I'm a regular fan of the huge portion of blue mussels in white wine (moules mariniere), fries served with mayo (not ketchup, mind you ) and the salty caramel sundae just yum Overall, I would say this restaurant is easy on the pocket and one can get to taste a piece of France.

    Thanks Yelp. I found one great place to explore French and Danish cuisine. Classic French songs…read morewith a good selection of wine list. I ordered crab mouse and sander fish special. I paired them a glass of Brut Excellence champagne and it went great with the dishes. Both are done perfectly and the presentation is Michelin delightful level. For the crab fish, I ordered a half of the portion on the lunch menu and it's still a generous amount. I wasn't hungry to begin with. I never am crazy about capers as they always overkill the natural flavors of the seafood. But this one is garnished with dill, lime mayonnaise, cress, cashew nuts, cucumbers, pickled tomatoes, red grapefruit, capers, olive oil and avocado cream. Bravo for the innovative twist for freshness and wellness. My daughter ordered the steak and lobster bisque. Both are delicious. Service attentive and friendly. Very relaxing and easy going experience for an upscale restaurant like this. Aloha from Hawaii.

They have an extensive wine list and quite a few interesting wines by the glass. The house made bread was very crunchy on the surface and very soft on the inside. We shared some oysters that were super fresh. I had a Zander fish that was pan fried. Loved it. My wife had the moules frites and ate them all down. Service was attentive. The large space was virtually full on a Wednesday night.

    EXCEPTIONAL! 5.0+…read more Our earliest dining experience with Noma was at their first Kyoto Pop-Up in 2023. Needless to say, it was an amazing experience, to which we added Noma CPH, back in their homeland, to our ever-expanding Bucket List. Dining at Noma is not just for people who enjoy eating; it's so much more than that. It's an all-encompassing experience. It's the senses being activated and heightened. The sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touch are awakened, and new discoveries are made. It's an absolute appreciation of the culinary world. It began with a taxi ride. The anticipation grew minute by minute as we peered out of the window, wondering, "Is that it over there?" Being tucked away in a former industrial setting and shipyard district, the seclusion from the city center gives you a sense of being far, far away in a distant land. After being warmly greeted, we were asked to enjoy a drink with several other guests in the greenhouse. From a bleak winter shipyard to the lush, beautiful, and characteristically Noma environment, our senses were being awakened. It only fueled our curiosity even more as to what lay ahead. From the greenhouse, there is a lighted pathway leading to the building where the magic continues. You can see and witness the current cold season leaving the landscape a brownish-gray with the winter season. The tall entrance door is adorned with mussel/mollusk shells. The texture and color are stunning and piqued our curiosity even further. Ocean Season (menu offering at the time of our reservation) was one of my favorite Noma seasons. The elements of the sea are brought into the space with draped seaweed, light wood, clean lines, and warm lighting. Service was exemplary, and the dishes and wine pairing were both delicious and eye-opening. There is also a juice pairing for those seeking a non-alcoholic option. One of my favorite desserts, which had been made in Kyoto in 2023 and 2024, is the ice cream made to look like an oyster. Phenomenal! After the completion of the residency in Los Angeles for the Noma LA 26 Pop-Up, which we thoroughly enjoyed as well, the crew has returned to Copenhagen for limited reservations. Noma 3.0 is to start in 2027. Their menu now follows 12 micro-seasons which highlights ultra specific ingredients. For now, we continue to be a part of Noma Projects, where it keeps us connected to the wonderful flavors and concepts of experimentation from the Noma kitchen. We enjoy seeing and experiencing all that Noma has to share with the world, now and in the future.

    NOMA is that place that not even in my wildest dreams I thought of visiting but the opportunity was…read moregiven and it was better than I imagine. I've been following this restaurant for a few years now and I was fascinated to see how they moved from country to country creating a whole new menu based on local products according to the season and the place where they were. I remember watching them in Tulum, Mexico (2017) or in Kyoto, Japan (2023-2024) and I thought everything they were creating was incredible. It was a nomadic restaurant full of innovation, one of a kind, and I was dying to try it! We flew to Copenhagen just for this meal so my expectations were very high. I also went with an open mind to try anything they put in front of me, because that's what it's all about, expanding your tastes and flavors. At least for me. The presentation not only looked spectacular but also tasted incredible. To my surprise, the first course was one of my favorites. I devoured it thinking it was steak but really was the heart of a deer. It was delicious. After that, all the courses that continued to arrive were just as impressive with unique flavor combinations and beautifully presented. We also did the wine pairing which I highly recommend. Top notch wines that paired perfectly with each course they brought. The staff is outstanding. From the moment you arrive you feel well taken care of, they receive your coat and take you to a waiting room where they offer you a tea before taking you to the table. To get to our table we went through the kitchen and the whole team stops doing what they do to greet you and acknowledge you. I thought it was something very special. Definitely one of the best culinary experience I've ever had!

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.
