The food was very tasty. I will have to admit that this is not my favorite cuisine and my knowledge very limited. However, I can tell it was fresh and thoughtfully put together. That being said, it was a place I greatly appreciated trying once but won't be back--due to my own preference and flavor palate. It is not too expensive relative to its quality but I don't like that the prices weren't on the menu. Also, remember to make a reservation. It gets quite busy.

This beautiful 16th Century brick and stone building was erected in the old town square as Malmo's Rådhuset (City Hall), with its basement vaults (where the restaurant is) dating back to 1546 with some of them once actually used as a dungeon-prison. Because of the original Rådhuset's many offices, courtrooms, record chambers and halls, the building's transformation into an eating & drinking establishment created a restaurant of many rooms and parlors, some very private for small groups and others rather large and grand. There's even a 450 year old library that one can dine in. Of course, every corner has been refurbished for its new incarnation (a century ago) as the restaurant we see today: the Rådhuskällaren. Below is a list of the historic rooms that you can eat in - The town hall basement which can seat 250 people and is composed of: St. Knuts Källare (seats 100 people), the Large vault (seating 65), the Little vault (seating 8), The hunting cellar (seating 60), and the Library (which seats 40). There's also 18 other seats spread about in nooks and crannies. The Rådhuskällaren's menu consists of well prepared traditional Swedish fare, much like my Swedish grandmother used to make on special occasions (she was a professional private chef for a rich family a century ago). Unfortunately the Rådhuskällaren's menu has been reduced significantly since I came here with my family long before COVID. Still, there are plenty of options and each meal has three or more courses whether a "Set Menu" or "a la Carte". This historic restaurant is well worth a visit. And be sure to ask Lena for a tour of the place. "Skol".

Or if you're lucky enough to be "allowed" in Copenhagen right now, this hyggelig family-owned restaurant on the "wrong" side of Nyhavn is taking extra extra good care of its customers during these social distancing days. Fwiw, before eating here, I would flat out answer "No" if you asked me if I liked traditional Danish food. What can I say? Pickled herring never "caught" on for me However, my husband and I had been meaning to try Restaurant Gilleleje ever since we moved right by it. Finally last Sunday we did, and it for real gave me a complete paradigm shift (yes, I did just say that) on how I feel about Danish food. We tried four different smørrebrøds, two beef dishes, finished with a cheeseboard and somewhere in there made room for four snaps and a pint of Svaneke brew house organic slow-brewed carbon-neutral (I promise it's not as pretentious as it sounds) beer. I'm pretty sure I ate my bodyweight in smørrebrød that day, let alone the other consumptions, and I do not regret it one bit(e). On top of that, our brains were educated by the incredibly knowledgeable and delightful server regarding which toppings belong on rye vs white bread, which snaps to pair with what, and that you don't butter the bread for herring--you bacon grease it Theirs had bits mixed into it too * ***Here's what we tried; we loved it all*** * Smoked salmon with scrambled eggs (Røget laks med røræg) * Hand-peeled shrimp with mayonnaise and lemon (Håndpillede rejer med mayonnaise og citron) * Butter-fried plaice fillet with remoulade and lemon (Smørstegt rødspættefilet med remoulade og citron) * Curry herring with eggs and onions (Karrysild med æg og løg) * Calf liver with caramelized onions, beets and bacon (Kalvelever med bløde løg, rødbeder og bacon) * Beef steak with caramelized onions and cucumber salad (Mørbradbøf med bløde løg og agurkesalat) * Cheese board with french bread (Ostemad, ost serveret på franskbrød) * My personal favorites were the plaice and curry herring (go figure, the one you smother with bacon grease)

I got the grapefruit lemonade which was pretty good, a little too high of an ice to juice ratio but that seemed like a common theme around most of Copenhagen. I ordered the veggie experience which was amazing. It comes with 2 toasts, a dipping sauce, a little avocado side salad and mini pickles. The salad was probably the most surprisingly simple and delicious dish I have ever had and hope to emulate it when I get home in the states. The Experience came with 2 different toasts, of which I liked both, but definitely preferred the mushroom one. My friend had the flight with meat, The Fucking Toast which he really liked too. Overall, cool bougie grilled cheese concept, but definitely high quality toast! I would definitely come back if I am ever in Copenhagen again!

The advocado side option is also very delicious. A few suggestions is that it is a bit drafty in the winter, so I was a bit cold, and the drink menu is a bit limted. I will defintiely come back in the summer and try some of the other good looking toasts!

Starting with a simple but elegantly presented plate with multiple choice bites we were already quite satisfied when we were done with this and the bread. But then came the fantastic interpretation of the staple Danish pulled pork sandwich with cabbage, somehow deconstructed but yet familiar. This was really the highlight and star. Surprise number two came next with another mini main course, their interpretation of samosas. And then, a wonderful desert plate to finish. All the while with fresh and choice organic ingredients. Healthy can also taste so good! Will certainly come back here every time I'm in copenhagen.
