Dinner on 22/12/18. We had the "Christmas Dinner" set menu which included a first course of three smørrebrød, followed by a main of medister sausage, roasted pork with cabbage and confit duck leg. Dessert was rice pudding with cherry sauce, a selection of cheeses and a couple of delicious chocolates. Drinks were a couple of very festive Mikkeller beers and a house made snaps. Neither my partner or I eat fish, of which the restaurant was very accomodating by providing a vegetarian option for the first course which normally includes pickled herring and smoked salmon. We both enjoyed the beetroot tartare smørrebrød the most, but all three were great! The mains were delicious, the duck in particular was incredibly flavoursome and melted in the mouth. The rice pudding was a perfect way to end the meal, even though we were already completely stuffed with food! The staff at Øl & Brød were wonderful and friendly. We had a lovely chat with the manager Josefine about Danish traditions and travel (we were visiting Copenhagen as part of our five week trip to Europe). The food, drink and hospitality combined made this an unforgettable meal and I recommend you pay Øl & Brød a visit if you find yourself in the beautiful city of Copenhagen. read more

Small beer focused tapas bar from Mikkeller. Get pricey tartines. The water is even pricey as got charged 25 krone for filtered water. Both our tartines were good. Liked the mikeller beer which can get at many places in Copenhagen and the USA. Likely due to price which was over 300 krone for 2 tartines, water and a beer will not return as not good value for price. read more

A 5 star experience! We started with a veal tartare with a crunchy rye top that was a explosion of flavors. Then we got a fabulous squid noodle in a fantastic broth. Very light yet it had a lot of depth. Side note for the bread and butter (would have been happy justo with those). For entree, we had the steak and a side of mash. I don't even like mash potatoes (don't judge) and I was licking the spoon. It was that good. To finalize a fantastic meal, we had a super light and refreshing chocolate mousse with raspberry sorbet and crunchy burned chocolate on the top. It was an unusual yet delicious flavor. Highly recommend this place. Besides serving amazing food, our waitress was a super star! read more

my friends and i got the 5 course menu with the beer pairings. the first dish we got was supposed to be potato and watercress, but for some reason they changed it to tartare. WHICH I LOVE. it was served with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh tomatoes, with a healthy hit of paprika. i was already happy with tartare and the addition of tomatoes was great, but if there was an egg yolk, it would have thrown me over the edge. my beloved egg came in the next dish; though scrambled, it was very delicious. a perfect side to the smoked mackerel! i love oily fish and eggs so this came in second, tied with the tartare. the vesterbro wit was thankfully easygoing, as very few beers can stand up to smoked mackerel. the next dish was my top pick. black trumpet, chanterelle, shimeji, and king oyster mushrooms; some pan-fried and some pickled. malty cheese grated on top. and there was my yolk! smoked and hiding under all that goodness. i could have eaten three more of these. lucky for my dinnermates, they were concentrating just as hard as i was on savouring it. it was very moreish and umami and all those wonderful things. at this point i was getting tipsy, but i did recall that the jackie brown beer paired with it went very well with an edge of sourness to cut through the richness of the egg and cheese. with this we also asked for a snaps recommendation and ended up getting the homemade walnut snaps. i am not so into snaps but i hope you try it; it is wonderful and the flavour went very well with this dish. hanger steak with plums in madeira came with the classic bernaise. it's a classic combo, and it was very good.. but with the first three courses being knockouts, this one paled in comparison (especially after the mushrooms!). don't get me wrong, it is delicious! it just didn't hold a candle to the other three. i was thankful for the last dish; a nice palate-cleansing pineapple rum ice cream on coconut mousse with bits of fresh pineapple underneath. it was the perfect balance of sweet and sour; furthered by the sourness of MAD beer sur. i don't usually get excited about smørrebrød unless we're talking schønnemann, so this place easily exceeded my expectations. but it was a very good dinner for any restaurant of this caliber. it is NOT just sandwiches and beer. the service was great, and patient, the timing was perfect, and the beer actually paired so well with all of the dishes (sorry, nørrebro bryghus, you did not do well there). that said, the meal was not cheap, but i feel it was worth it. i'm looking forward to coming back and checking out what they're doing next.

I went with a friend to Öl & Bröd, a restaurant I had been waiting to try ever since I heard about it. To get the full experience, we both took the 7 course menu, which at 1100DKK is not exactly cheap. That is why this review might be a bit harsh, but at that price level the expectations have to be high. Service and ambiance at the place is spot on. To me it was a bit surprising that the place was so empty on a Friday in July. We chose to sit outside, which seemed quite more casual than the inside. The service was knowledgeable and precise - nothing to complain about. The 7 course menu includes beers and akvavit, and there were plenty of both and of high quality. 7 different beers and 7 akvavits if I remember correctly. The alcohol amount was high, maybe a bit too much? However, the pairings of both the beers and the akvavits were excellent with the food, with a few exceptions. Admittedly, it must be hard to pair an akvavit with a main course. My biggest problem with the place is the food. Some of them very quite bland. Out of a total of 10 courses (2 snacks, 7 courses and petit fours) I would rate 4 as excellent (the first snack, the octopus smörrebröd, the lobster tartelelette and the cheese), but that is too few. Nothing was bad, but with this price level I had expected more. Especially the main course fell terribly short. All the components tasted ok separately, but put together on a smörrebröd the experience was quite bland. If the main course falls this short, it's difficult to give a higher rating. We both were happy to try it out, but we both agreed we probably won't return. Either the prices have to go down or the smörrebröds have to be more bold and adventerous. The potential is there, the octopus smörrebröd was simply fabulous, but why don't they dare to take the other smörrebröds to that same level? The two first smörrebröds (after the snacks) were quite dull in comparison, and the main course was simply a disappointment. Go there for experiences on how to pair beer and akvavit with smörrebröd, but if you simply want great smörrebröds, I can think of better places. read more

Expect to get rude service. We booked months in advance excited to go to mikkelers restaruant to be rudely told we screwed up the reservation and had proof of their mistake. Albeit we were 15 minutes late due to weather but we were called twice to confirm reservation. Never have I been treated with such disdain and haste. They could not accommodate because they already sold our seats. read more

The sun was shining so I parked the baby carriage out front and sat down. The service is great, the waiters knowledgeable and the beer... well, you know. The food is really good, but holy crap it's really, really overpriced. read more

We we're planning to eat at the tapas place down the street but instead decided to try a three course meal with beer pairing here. The food presentation was meticulous with perfectly balanced flavors and great textures and they served some of the best hollandaise sauce I've ever tasted. The staff was both attentive and informative. I highly recommend this place. read more

Excellent Danish food. Great place to relax for a Sunday lunch. Fresh produce, great beer and service

This place is definitely worth trying if you enjoy beer and smørrebrød. We tried their 5course dinner matched with beer and it was absolutely lovely! Both the beer and the food was well composed and the service was perfect. read more
