Best meal of our trip. Really enjoyed it. My wife booked Host because of its reviews and vegetarian…read moreoptions (for me). The restaurant's design is definitely minimalist with simple blank walls and a comfortable mix of fake and real plants. There was no air conditioning but they found a fan to keep us comfortable- we were amazed that more folks in the full restaurant weren't sweating the way we were. Perhaps the locals are more used to the summer heat with no AC than we were. We had the 3-course prefixe meal with my my wife and daughter on the standard menu while I was on the vegetarian track. The website says that Host is the Danish word for harvest, and that their focus is "on the Scandinavian kitchen with lots of surprises." The staff used the word "surprises" explicitly, using it to describe the amuse-bouches and palette-cleansing bites served between the advertised courses. We started with a flight of croquettes with cheese and I think my wife and daughter had something like a smoked fish hash of some sort while by I had a delightful bite of salad on a molded sweet cookie tart shell. The baby bread loaves with a special butter were lovely - how do you innovate butter? Great job. My first veggie entree was fried carrots with horseradish, which was grand. Next I had a barley risotto with amazing brown beech mushrooms on top. Awesome. There was a spot of potato soup in there somewhere and the best bite of the meal was another of the surprises - a pre-dessert mochi-like shell with strawberry powder on the outside and hazelnut ice cream (I think???) on the inside. The strawberry rhubarb dessert was excellent also. Such a great meal. Loved it.

This restaurant (among 10-12 other restaurants) in CPH are all owned by the same group. We went to…read moreanother one of their restaurants earlier this week, and were shocked to see essentially the same menu served, and we couldn't choose anything else because it's a prefix. Like truly, same app, mains, etc. Service was unfortunately just bad - we were served the wrong dish and then charged for the more expensive dish that we weren't even served, took us forever to order another drink or get anyone's attention. I don't blame the staff, they were definitely working across a lot, but after visiting two of this restaurant group's establishment, I could tell the owners of this restaurant systemically overwork their staff. I'd suggest if you are a true gastronomie fan, try to find a restaurant outside of this group! Not a bad restaurant, just feels a little fake if ya know what I mean.

The lettuce salad that came with my beef filet was so crisp that it seemed to have just been picked from the garden. It may not be a bad idea to try their vegetarian prix-fixe menu some time. We came as a group of five people and were given 2 hours and 15 minutes for our table. Service was attentive without being rushed. I appreciated the steady service as I did not want a protracted long dinner. The pacing was just right and we finished our courses in a timely manner.

Every visit feels like stepping into a calm little oasis. Their seasonal prix fixe menu is always a highlight. The chefs at Vækst have a real talent for taking fresh, local ingredients and turning them into something both comforting and exciting. Each course is thoughtful, balanced, and full of bright Nordic flavors. I've never had a meal there that didn't feel memorable. Whether you're going for a special occasion or just want an evening of genuinely great food in a cozy setting, Vækst delivers every time. It's the place I recommend to anyone looking for an authentic, beautifully crafted Copenhagen dining experience.

I never thought I would be saying this about porridge of all things. But, Grød truly opened my eyes…read morein terms of how I could prepare my daily oatmeal. We tried Grød at two locations: the Torvehallerne market and at 7Eleven. The market, I ordered the Oat Porridge which came with apples, roasted almonds and caramel sauce, my mom had the All In! and my dad had the oat waffle. All of us (mostly) left satisfied. My picky father loved his waffle. And I really enjoyed the porridge I had. The oats perfectly cooked, the apples and almonds gave it a nice textural contrast. Plus the caramel, which was more like a dulce de leche added the perfect amount of sweetness without being too sweet. My mom was a bit ambivalent because the All In was too sweet. But to be fair, All In includes all of their toppings. Including chocolate and caramel so her assessment was fair! The Grød at 7Eleven had this wonderful chia pudding, layered with yogurt, natural peanut butter, a berry compote and nuts and I was obsessed. So simple, yet so wholesome. I found a cup at the airport and proceeded to import it back to the States. Overall, it was definitely worth a visit (or 2) to have my mind blown. Grød may not have intended it but this lil Westerner is now leveling up her oats game thanks to their menu!

The Jerusalem artichoke was underseasoned, and tasted like dried potatoes. The shaved truffle on the Jerusalem artichoke did not have any taste (1 star off); it seemed decorative only. The prästost was a good hard cheese, but Knäckebröd was a dry cracker, so it was not an open-faced sandwich at all (1 star off). Maybe we ordered the wrong things. The presentations looked beautiful though.

Only 1 table besides ours and we were desperate and not a good thing when hungry. Service was horrible as I kept on asking when the next item will be coming out? Soup wasn't good, the veggie dish that consisted of cabbage, broccoli, eggplant, and brussel sprouts was decent as the sauce woke up the dish. Rack of lamb was very dry and overcooked, the mussels were probably fresh in the 1980's. They did have an excellent cream sauce with it. The bread was stale and was fresh 2 days ago. The salmon tartar was decent, so yes 2 items were good as the rest not so much. We were being punished by the Yelp Gods for missing out on the good places that had closed 30 minutes prior. Lesson learned.

We even had an email with proof of our confirmation. As the first time visitor of Denmark, and hearing so much about how Denmark is the top place in terms of friendliness and happiness, I couldn't believe how they could treat customers like this. I couldn't even finish my meal because it was so distasteful to even sit there. NAVER GO THERE AGAIN!!!
