Good, classic Danish lunch restaurant located in Christianshavn. I went there for a lunch with some…read morecolleagues the other day. The interior is a little bit too old fashioned for my taste, but definitely cozy. Staff was friendly, even though they almost made a fuss about us wanting to pay separately (but in the end agreed to let us do so). I went with a classic smørrebrød with potatoes, bacon and onions - their signature dish. It was very tasty and topped with heaps of fried onions, which clearly had been fried in the restaurant and didn't come from the supermarket. The portion sizes were okay, but verging on the smaller end of the scale - and prices were definitely a bit high for that. But a good place for lunch nonetheless, and I'd probably go there again.

Every dish is sourced from a combination of Italian and Danish providers, made and plated with care, and served with an explanation radiating pride in true craftsmanship. The antipasti, primi, and secondi, individually, were enough to earn this restaurant five stars. Together, each succeeding dish compounded our delight. And the dessert? I will probably never eat another flan as good as theirs. I know what you're thinking: "I came all the way to Copenhagen. Why would I choose an Italian restaurant?" Hey, good food is good food. Rufina Osteria offers the very best.

It was open late go Copenhagen and we got friendly service quickly. A small group all had pasta and a tasty wine. They brought bread and olive oil which is my favorite and I wish we would have had more but then im avoiding lots of bread! The portion was nice. It's not very big, so if it's busy, seating may take a while. They spoke Danish, English and Spanish! In short it was good and tasted home made!

Yelp already wrote the first line of the review for me…read more "Hmm...I have tried something better, elsewhere...." Then again, I didn't have much expectation when it comes to thai take away. I somehow believe the magical of Thai cuisine can only be enjoyed properly when served and shared over the table with friends and family. Fast food Thai? Then you have simply lost the golden touch. We ordered massaman curry and and phat kee mao that has a chilli mark on the side. While the curry has nice flavour to it, it was far too watery and the content of the curry was just shredded carrots, cashews and yes, the cubed tofu that was the main ingredient I chose. Not much to get excited about. The Phat Kee Mao was supposed to be spicy, but even my boyfriend who was sensitive to spicy food (although he is slowly trained to appreciate chili) was wondering about the chili sign on the menu. Again, overall flavour was nice, but it needed an extra kick to be called as Thai version of fried noodles. What gives two stars instead of one is that they cooked their food pretty fast, with the wok action and all, and that they were very friendly as well as the price. I, on the other hand, would continue the hunt over good Thai take away

Recently, I visited Green Mango - twice. Both times for lunch and with a different peer for each…read morevisit. My first visit was initiated by my peer who's a regular (live close by). Early signs of autumn foul weather made us crave a warm, healthy and tasty lunch. Being two undergrads, it also needed to be affordable. On this day, at lunch time peak hour, it was busy but still cosy and possible to have a conversation. For my second visit, I recommended this place to my other peer. We were in a rush but wasn't willing to compromise on the meal quality. I knew from the first visit that this place serves quick, affordable and healthy warm lunches and it was near the place we were rushing to, so it was a perfect option. On this day, we arrived just prior to the lunch time peak hour, so we had the place to ourselves which definitely eased facilitating our only 35 min. visit (entrance to exit). During both visits I thought I experienced some language differences when making the order, or maybe it was all due to my semi-impaired hearing. However, it didn't have any major influence on getting the order across as the meals on the menu are presented in the form of numbers and in Danish and English. I do agree, with some of the other reviews, that the flavour intensity isn't overwhelming which comes down to a personal preference. You could probably have a stronger flavoured option on the plentiful menu. Remember, I've only tried two. All in all, a very nice, convenient and small place if you're after a hot healthy and affordable lunch. I am thankful for places like this and will probably go there again when I have my way pass.

Tried everything on the menu, which was recently updated in 2020 with in-season fruits and vegetables, several new items, and clever recipe changes. The bread with sunflower praline and apple hot sauce was a pleasant starter. The tapioca cracker, tuna with salsa is phenomenal. Try the ceviche for a tangy delight different than what you'll get elsewhere. The smoky cauliflower comes with an amazing mole reduction. Gem salad was simple, yet tasty, with local cheese and a bit of seaweed. The gambas (shrimp) are presented well, and flavorful but small (not much meat). This is made up for with the excellent grilled redfish Tikin-Xic, make-it-yourself tacos, with red salsa, refried beans, coriander, lime and homemade tortillas. Several dishes were moderately, and thankfully, spicy. Enough to fill you up or a light meal if you get a few. Dessert is a perfect balance between rich, velvety Grenache and ultra-fluffy, sweet guava sorbet on a crispy waffle biscuit. Decent beer and wine selection. I tried the 2016 Ritual Pinot Noir from Chile, but there is also a wine pairing that I will try next time to complete the experience. Staff is professional and friendly. Ambiance is young, inviting and simple. Place was busy (on a Wednesday) and rather small, so I was fortunate to get a spot at the bar as a walk-in. I recommend getting no before they decide to increase prices and you need weeks or months for a reservation. Kudos!

There are seriously days in my life where survival may not have been possible without the gracious…read moreservices provided by the adorable icelandic sisters behind the thinktank CPH Sandwich & Coffee. Honestly, it's just your typical coffee and sandwich stop shop. They are not coffee artists by any stretch of the imagination - but their location (en route to my office from the metro) and the fact that they provide caffeine to go (sometimes adding extra shots for free if I look particularly frazzled), makes them my favorite place in the whole of Copenhagen between the hours of 8-10am, Monday through Friday. They offer discounts for several of the business people in the area, which means I get a two kroner discount on my yogurt when I'm too lazy to make the exact same thing for myself at home for one quarter of the price. The less than two minutes I spend in here every morning waiting for them to make my coffee (an order they have memorized, by the way), is also the only opportunity I have to watch the Danish morning news programs, and while I never stick around to get the full story, I've seen less than two minutes of lots of interesting stuff, many times, without having to pay any cable bills. #winning

I expected to get refused service for coming in so late, when really, I was welcomed with a friendly face and conversation. To top it off, the barista threw in a croissant with my beverage order so that I wouldn't feel peckish on the road to the airport. The croissant was buttery and flakey, and the white tea that I had ordered beside it had lovely floral notes that helped wash away the guilt from the croissant. Kudos to the barista for being the highlight of my trip to Copenhagen and for helping it end on the right foot.

Either way, I'm happy to see that CPH sandwich and coffee and Sweet Treat, Baresso, Emmerys, and Lagkagehuset now have a new neighborhood friend. Because five different places to get coffee in a two block radius is not nearly enough. All jokes aside Kafferiet has easily become my jam. It's really good. And, it's also super cute. I love the decoration and I'm slightly intimidated by their gorgeous espresso machine and I have a major desire to spend a day working from that big round table at the end of the room. It feels like a place I could hang out at all day.
