We made a trip to Copenhagen to celebrate New Year there. We discovered more or less last minute a restaurant with compared to Copenhagen standards moderate prices for a New Year's Eve dinner. Each of us paid 420 DKK for the dinner, beverages were not included.
We were placed at a table near the entrance and therefore it was very cold, when someone opened the door. My boyfriend ordered the meat menu whereas I chose the one with fish. Just to make it sure from the beginning I explained to the waiter that I do not eat any meat except seafood. After having negated his question whether I eat at least carpaccio, he nevertheless served my shrimps surrounded with bacon. Apart from this the starter was all in all acceptable. By the way it was the only course after which he asked if the food was alright.
The main dish looked delicious at first glance: I found on my plate a lobster, some mussels, a piece of grilled tuna and unfortunately only a small vegetable side dish which consisted of a few lentils and fried potatoes completed by a tiny piece of broccoli. My boyfriend's main dish consisted of a few pieces of meat and the same meagre vegetable side dish.
After having tasted the delicious tuna, I tried the first mussel which I spat immediately in a handkerchief. I have never tried before oder after this event such a bad-tasting mussel. It costed me quite an effort to taste the other mussels which were not well spiced and cold, but at least eatable. A great deficit of my boyfriend's as well as my dinner was that they both have been served nearly cold.
The dessert was ok. My boyfriend had a piece of panettone and I had a mediocre tiramisu. The best of the whole evening was the wine we ordered in addition to the dinner. We will never visit this restaurant again. read more
