Good location for a drink. Service was good (not busy at the time ) Food - salmon and fish & chips - 2/5 Stars and high price due to location. I've had more enjoyable food at In-N-Out burger. This was an avoidable mistake read more

Terrible and expensive food with poor service. Plenty of other places to eat along the canal.

My thing is this. If you are going to serve steak then tenderize it and stop having this dream that says it will magically tenderize because I have a magical spatula. This can ruin the trip for tourists so try to care a little bit about your food more than being a nice spot. So they get a B for beginning to suck if they don't step up on their steak game. Now the ribs were soft and the fries were like Burger King fries so not mad at that. Just step up your game and stick to the butter garlic and peppercorn flakes. I'm just sayin you're also charging too much if your quality is not matching it. Get it together. read more

Cafe Nyhavn 17 - Some good ribs and burger King style fries. - Bars Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

Pros: The restaurant and restrooms are clean, the location is great, the staff was chill, and the food tasted good (regular good, not super good). Cons: Long wait time for food, they charge 35ddk for water, they cannot provide you with simple hot water for drinking, the staff wasn't very informed about the food/menu, and I theorize they don't make much on site they just mostly served prepared food stuffs. The place was super packed though compared to other restaurants, so I might not be their target demographic. It might be more of a place you go for alcohol that happens to have food if you get hungry too. read more

The location of Nyhaven is very touristy part of Copenhagen, is a charming pub right on the canal overlooking the boats. We stopped by for a cocktail after walking around, our waitress was very nice and spoke perfect English, telling us a few fun facts about the area. Stopped by the third day in Copenhagen for lunch just because my husband had looking over the menu a couple says before, we ordered fish and chips and a plate of three open faced sandwiches. Pretty good! Service was slightly slower that day and our waiter kept forgetting our drinks, but it's all good. Cute little Dutch place that is touristy, but without being cheesy. read more

Worst Caesar salad I have ever had. And I have had a lot. I'm convinced they threw some mayonnaise and croutons in some lettuce and called it a day. Waitress was nice tho. read more

Late on our arrival night we wandered towards the light to find Nyhavn 17. 30 minutes before they closed. We were greeted with smiles and a warm spot by the fire. My pizza. Well it might be in my top five ever. Simple. Crispy. Fresh and perfect size. So impressed! read more

Service took forever, we ordered our drinks when we sat down and didn't get them for 20 minutes. Waitress was nowhere to be seen for about 90% of our time here. We got burgers and they were severely undercooked and incredibly greasy. My friend got a Caesar salad where the salad dressing was just mayonnaise. Another one of my friends' burgers was undercooked so bad the outside of it was pink. Paid $35 and got nowhere near that price level. I cannot fathom why the food here is so expensive when it's mediocre to downright horrible. read more

Excellent salmon dish, good service and we enjoyed having it in a charming look inside!

Total disappointment. The veggie burger should really be called the celery burger. As that is what is was. Mushed up celery pressed together to form a wet, tasteless if not healthy burger. I've had many a depressing veggie burger in my jaunts around the world. But this is a first. It was so bad that I couldn't stomach it. It was making the bun into mush, the toppings slid out of the burger out of embarrassment of being part of this monstrosity. It could be described as more of a smoothie than a burger. Add to that the double Irish coffee that was no more Irish than your typical American celebrating paddy's day.... I'd mention the annoying people either side of us. A loud French couple were the guy was trying his best to get into the poor girls knickers. On the other side 'oh my gawd' Americans that almost made me want to rescind my citizenship. Alas they were not the places fault. Just the topping on a shitty meal. read more

Got a table here at a not so busy day, sat down, table was sticky and dirty, and waited for service but gave up after 30 minutes without. No one even came up to the table to get us drinks. Worst! read more

The worst dining experience in Copenhagen. Slowest service ever... we waited 40 mins for a piece of toast with potatoes on it. Got both of our orders wrong and the wine tasted like it had been sitting out over night. The staff had no idea what was going on and took forever to take our order (in a close to empty restaurant). We even saw them put a receipt in a plate of food and then serve it. The decor was fine and energy was chaotic. Definitely do not go here. It is so overpriced read more

Sat outside for a late lunch on our first day in Copenhagen. We were in search of a traditional menu to try some local favorites. While the food was decent, it was average. I did think the plates had a nice presentation though. The service was pretty slow and items were pricey for what you get. We had the club sandwich, the open face sandwich trio (interesting local flavors), and the mixed green salad with goat cheese. The weather was amazing and it was nice to sit outside along the water and take in the scenes. read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars as one is far too generous. Service was...well someone was there to take our order, bring it and take away the dishes. Once flagged down. So yay you did the bare minimum? Anyway I had been craving a decent sandwich and a club is my go to, so I order the club. How can you ruin a simple sandwich you ask? Load it down with mayonnaise. I'm a big mayonnaise fan. I love it, BUT, when it leaks out of my sandwich and all over the plate and my hands? Eh no beuno. The best way I can describe this was mayonnaise with a touch of sandwich. Fries were very meh. I felt bad only eating half, but I just couldn't do it. This experience enjoyed while listening to duelling accordion and idling motorcycle, totally out of the cafes control but added to the experience. Find a better place to eat. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Best fish and chips we've had across many countries. Bacon like they make at home on an omelette at 2pm that I didn't have to beg for. Could only be happier with this place if they had better tea. Not a fan of Russian Earl Grey. Give it a shot. read more

This was my first time visiting Copenhagen and I am really glad I chose to eat at this restaurant/pub. In my opinion, Nyhavn is one of the most picturesque urban parts of Copenhagen and just about every restaurant on the street has outdoor seating. Nyhavn 17 was even so kind to provide every guest with fleece blankets to keep warm during the brisk spring day of our visit (late April). One area where they could improve is the type of tables they use outside. They are all lightweight aluminum and some don't sit flat on the cobblestone. Our table outside was wobbly. I ordered the Shooting Star (steamed and fried plaice, with caviar, prawns and asparagus on the side). The fish was cooked beautifully and went very well with its accompaniments. The prawns are actually brine shrimp, a small error of translation. My boyfriend ordered a burger and fries which was deceivingly simple on the menu. My goodness, it was the best burger of his (and my) life! It was perfectly tender and flavourful. My boyfriend thankfully saw through my politeness and offered me another bite of his dish. The perfectness of the burger's composition and flavour profile merits use of a fork and knife - a common eating practice we noticed among the Scandinavians. In the middle of our lunch, the wind began to pick up. The whole day it had been brisk, but we were determined to sit amongst the lunchtime crowd outside to enjoy the scenery. When the wind eventually blew over one of the bikes leaning against the wall and most of our napkins (which I chased down), we decided to head inside. The servers made no hesitation in helping us. Overall, service was attentive and kind. The area is heavily populated by tourists and English is commonly spoken. With two orders of Carlsberg draft beer, the bill came out to an even 300 DK. read more

Unfortunately, this is my first ever 1 Star review and subsequently the worst service I have ever had dining anywhere in the world. Being a marketing and restaurant manager, it is really hard for me to even leave a one-star review for another restaurant. Knowing the hard work and behind the scenes, I can completely understand you can't please everyone. However, I draw the line at rudeness. No matter what city, no matter what culture. On our first and ONLY night in Copenhagen, my boyfriend and I were looking forward to having a nice meal after our 15 hour long day of travel. We chose this place because it was in a prime location and because of its selection of Smorrebrod. Please keep in mind, that we are both down to earth and friendly, easy going people. When ordering (which took forever, despite that the place had maybe only three other tables) we were greeted by the most unenthusiastic server we have ever encountered. I mean ever! We should have just taken that as a clue and left at that point. Instead, we stayed for the simple fact that we were already seated, tired, and starving. We did ask if they would still be open for awhile because we wanted to have a leisurely dinner. It was our only night in Copenhagen and we wanted to enjoy an experience. She assured us there was no rush. Keep in mind, this place was in a high tourist area, and definitely not cheap. Our food arrived and to be fair, the portions were large and it came out fast. The fish and chips were quite good. However, we didn't get our full order and once the food was dropped, we had to wait 15 minutes for our server to check back on us (we had to flag her down) so we could ask for more bread for our Smorrebrod (there was not enough bread to accompany the dish) ketchup, water and a few other things we needed. She was talking to a co-worker, completely ignoring us. When we finally got her attention and asked for more bread, ketchup and more water, she told us the kitchen was closed and we couldn't get anything else. Not even water. Ummm hello? We just asked her if the kitchen would be open for awhile as we sat down. Our food had just been dropped. So shady. She ignored us for so long that we just wanted to get out of there and asked for the check so we could go somewhere else. We were completely disappointed. No shocker that we had to flag down our server for the check. We asked for a take away box. She said they didn't have a take away box. So we pretty much left our entire meals, barely touched. What a waste of money. Did I mention this place is not cheap? As we were closing our check. We noticed that a new couple just got sat at the table next to us and another at a table on the other side of us. They ordered food off of the menu and the place was still clearly open to them. I was furious that our server had lied to us and told us they were closed when we asked to order more. When I asked to speak to the manager, our server told us she was the manager. She made no apologies, still insisted they were closing and rolled her eyes and walked away. Now, I can understand, sometimes when you are traveling, different countries have different cultural etiquettes etc. I get that, and actually, I enjoy respecting and learning those things. I travel all over the world and also dine all over the world. I don't consider myself a high maintenance person and because I also work in the same industry, I have a strong patience level for other service industry colleagues. In this case, I really just felt discriminated against because I was American. I felt cheated and lied to about their closing time, and have never been treated as blatantly rude by any other hospitality worker in my life. No matter what culture, I find it hard that any owner of any establishment would find that tolerable. Luckily we were able to go to the place next door and they welcomed us and we spent the next few hours eating and drinking and have a good "second" meal in Copenhagen. Very disappointing dining experience. With this type of service in such a high rent area, I will be surprised if they stay in business very long. read more

I kind of feel like you need to sit and have a meal somewhere in the Nyhavn area when you visit Copenhagen. Maybe it's because it's the touristy thing to do. Or maybe because it is a beautiful area to sit outside and people watch. My suggestion if you're going here is maybe just stick to having a drink outside. The food overall was very "meh". I had a burger. It was okay but certainly nothing special. Fries were decent as I did enjoy the seasoning on them. Wife was not a fan of her club sandwich at all. Overall the food was not worth it especially for the price you pay. I think next time we are in Copenhagen we will just stick to having a drink on the Nyhavn and eat elsewhere. read more

One of many slightly overpriced bars in this lovely area of Copenhagen. Spot the Danesthey are the ones sat on the edge of the harbour drinking booze they brought with them. This is wise. Apparently the interior of this pub is really worth looking at. Unfortunately I didn't get to see it as while I was approaching the pub about 80 people went in. I am not kidding, it must have been a bus load of people. That or a most bizarre cosmic coincidence. Rather than risk the scrum we sat outside (where the view is of course not to shabby either!) and enjoyed a pint in the evening sunshine. The exterior of the building is very distinctiveif you are looking for it you should certainly find it! read more

Service was friendly if a little slow (although I find the standard of speedy service to be different in Europe from America). Food was very good and the atmosphere was cozy. Would visit again. read more

The staff was really unfriendly and rude. The food was way to little and not so special. I do not recommend this place.

We had to flag someone down for everything. Feels like the employees purposely don't make eye contact with you so they don't have to help you. Not just one or two like all employees did this. All we ordered was soup and it was cold when it came out so we had to send it back. Do not recommend. read more

Great selection of beer and some Danish specialities, not much in the way of vegetarian. Felt a bit too touristy but there were an equal amount of locals. read more

The service is terrible. We waited 1h for our bill. The food is okey. Especially The fish dishes. The burgers and sandwiches are quite greasy. read more

This place has a sign that says their vegetarian burger will turn you into a vegetarian. If by vegetarian they mean you will feel like vomiting and gag every time you think of it, then this burger hit the spot! Otherwise, this place is for a location and beer only. In fact, the Bachelorette showed up during our visit for one of her dates - set to air in May I believe. If you watch this show or episode, this guy is not going to be hanging around too long. The nachos are good, .25 stars for the nachos! read more
