    I notice myself assigning 5 starts lately, I think it has something to do with visiting Copenhagen again, where food is just top notch. SALT was no exception. It was booked for a business dinner for a group of 6. Not having read the reviews, I had no expectations going in. Initially and after realizing that this was a hotel restaurant, I dreaded awful pre-fix dinner, but was pleasantly surprised from the very first bite. The atmosphere of the restaurant was spectacular. Very open space, exposed wooden beams, comfy couches, white table linens. Minimalist and very much in Scandinavian style. Every table had a beautiful arrangement of three little jars of various European salts and in inscription. I have always been a lover and an admirer of salts, so this was very pleasing to me in particular. We did have a pre-fix menu with a wine tasting to go along. I wish I wrote this review earlier, so I could describe the dishes as I now forget. But I can say with certainty that everything was amazing. Including the fresh bread and butter. Dessert was spectacular as well.

    I loved the beef dish with sweetbread. The beef was cooked perfectly and the sauce tied the whole dish together. I am not a big sweetbread fan, so the portion of sweetbread was a bit much. The fish was cooked well. However the parsnip puree did not go well with the dish. However the green light sauce (whatever it is) was delicious. Dessert was a bit much for me. The alcohol in the chocolate mousse dish was a nice surprise, however I think it made it a bit too rich for someone who isn't particularly a chocoholic. The mousse was well made however. A pleasant restaurant to go to if you are staying at the Admiral hotel. I was much more impressed with the bar food! I guess I like simpler tastes. We tried the curry cream coconuty soup at the bar, as well as the hamburger. The soup was divine, rich and creamy, perfect for winter. So flavourful. We also tried the hamburger. The patty was loosely packed (just the way I like it), juicy and cooked medium rare, something most places cannot get right. I would definitely go back for the bar food! They also had a whole fish on the menu, which looked very impressive as we glanced over at the other tables.

    Tourist trap & prices to match, but nice view of harbor & good to sit outside on those 1-2 days per year the weather is. Ok

    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.

    The service was incredible. The food delicious. The ambiance COULD have been better if it wasn't…read morefor the table of 5 next to us who were loud, obnoxious AF and possibly even drunk before arriving. They were so loud that management asked them to quiet down (which was greatly appreciated by us and others). It's an at least a 2-hr dining experience for a 5-course dining experience. The portions are just the right size and even shareable. The hubs did the 5-course with wine pairings, dessert and coffee and I the 3-course. I was able to share some of his items and wines as well. They are Michelin recommended and still awaiting a star. Here's to hoping they get it soon. All the servers step up for one another as well and take their time explaining what the item is, all the ingredients and how it's prepared. Check this off your dining list while in Copenhagen!

    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!

I only took off one star because the time it took us to get our first course was about 40-45 minutes after being seated since they got the order wrong and the ravioli in the main course was lacking in flavor. Everything else about the meal was SO good- the cheeses in our charcuterie course was AMAZING (I'm not even someone who likes cheese). And I cleaned my plate for the creme brulee dessert! The portion sizes were also very generous - we all wished we came with an emptier stomach! Just make sure you come with a lot of time to spare because we didn't leave until 11pm.

    Beautiful place and food. Excellent service! This restaurant deserves 5 starts across the board…read more The owner recommended Grillet laks which is Grilled salmon served with sautéed seasonal vegetables and tarragon sauce. The salmon it's self was cooked perfectly. Gently grilled on the outside and moist on the inside, and vegetables were perfectly seasoned. The sauce on the fish was an excellent touch. All in all, it was worth the $. He also recommended Carlsberg Pilsner. Beer that is popular in Denmark. I was tempted to get another one! And finally the desert. Wow, I would fly back to Copenhagen just for this! He recommended the Gammeldags æblekage (apple strudel), it was divine. Thank you for the excellent food and service. 10/10.

    Brownie points sincerely for still being open at 1130pm and onwards until 2am... YES TWO AM!!…read moreAs someone who was rushing from the airport after landing at 1012pm, I truly appreciated that a local spot was still open... even though the streets were empty and we were the only table. I ordered the DANISH NATIONAL DISH and FRIED LIVER (I believe they are #19 and #20 on the menu). Interestingly, the server recommended something similar (another pork belly dish) over the national dish; stating it tastes much better and much softer... which I probably should have went with this recommendation since the national dish was TOUGH AS BONES. It wasn't crispy, chewy, or tasty. It was simply inedible. One couldn't even chew or cut through the meat... the side of skin on mini/small potatoes were simply boiled. The beet dish was delicious. The sauce didn't have much flavor (crazy how extra sauce costs 35 DKK more). The VEAL LIVER dish tasted better than the national dish ironically. Gave a tremendous portion. The potatoes were skinned. The gravy had some taste compared to the other sauce from the national dish. Decadent pickled cucumbers which provided a nice palate cleanser. Mushrooms gave a nice chew, a much appreciated and welcomed different texture. ***the bread given was not good at all*** ***it seems that water, even if it's from the sink or obviously bottled by them, costs money in any establishment*** SERVICE: Kind. Attentive. Enthusiastic. Spirited. Happy. Since it was our first meal in Copenhagen we were a tad blown away by the price tag of each meal to the point we thought it was a meal set. The server calmed down those nerves and reassured us that all dishes on the menu were à la carte. Loved the small talk he attempted :) VIBEZ: Still had Christmas/holiday decor haha. Great for a night out/date. Casual with a sprinkling of fine dining. No service fees included in the bill. Great for large groups. Located in the city. Didn't have a car; therefore, I cannot vouch for parking. Close walk from/to the metro though! Would I come back? No, but I am elated I can cross off trying the danish national dish on my bucket list. :)

There were outside tables, but it was a bit chilly, so we opted for the nearly deserted inside restaurant. We had a table near the window, so it was a great view. The restaurant was nicely decorated and the service was very friendly. I ordered the gravlax open-faced sandwich, which is smoked salmon (very similar to lox) on an excellent sour dough bread. I opted to skip the mustard sauce, but the sandwich was perfect. My wife had the potato open-faced sandwich, which consisted of new potatoes, organic rye bread, lemon mayonnaise (romaleid), fried onions and pickled pearl onions. She really enjoyed it, along with her Spritz drink. Denmark seems to be one of those countries, where you cannot order tap water. Fair enough. However, our water consisted of an open carafe (which I'm sure was tap water), for which we were charged 50 Krona ($8). This seems high for tap water.

    BEWARE: I have been on Yelp since 2014, and this is the only one-star review I've ever given here…read more This place charges ***45 DKK PER PERSON*** (about $7.50 per person) for tap water. (It's "filtered," they insist, but that doesn't explain the extortionate price. Isn't most higher-end restaurant water filtered...? Isn't Starbucks water...?) There is no free or cheaper water option available. We asked for just one water since my companion was having beer, and they said ok, confirmed the order, took away the second glass, and then brought back the second glass a few minutes later and told us it was 45 for the carafe, so we'd be fine. And then at the end of the meal they charged us 90 (about $15) and said it was per person after all. When we tried to give feedback (my exact words were, "I will pay it, but I want to leave a comment and tell you how my experience is as a guest"), they were extremely rude and defensive. "Well, I'm not the owner, I can't change it." "This is how it is in Copenhagen." I said I understood but could you please pass our feedback to the owner, and also it's usually 20-25 DKK per table in Copenhagen, and you're charging more than 3-4x that. They kept doubling down. Personally, I would suggest saving your 90 DKK for a high-end beer, a souvenir, or really anything else besides tap water and snootiness.
