As expected, a superb dining experience. We brought my 9 year old niece, who loved more than a few of the 17 courses, and the staff were very gracious and kind. I recommend the juice pairing for adventurous non-drinkers.

Absolutely top-notch! My friend and I, who visited last Saturday, give you a 10/10. From start to finish, you delivered world-class service. We tried to find something to criticize, but we couldn’t – everything was perfect.

The food, service, and atmosphere were of the highest standard and made our trip to Copenhagen complete. A big thank you to the entire staff for ensuring the dinner was an extraordinary experience.

To anyone looking for a top-tier restaurant in Copenhagen – don’t hesitate! It was worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Worst Michelin dining experience! See attached videos and photo for evidence (proceed with caution) I really wanted to like this place. It was our first night in Copenhagen, but a series of unfortunate event made me doubt that AOC really is a Michelin starred restaurant.

1.  The female waitress with an attitude: there was a fly flying around our table, and I informed her.  She said there is nothing they can do about the fly.  The fly chose to fly wherever it wanted. She “graciously” offered to re-pour another glass of wine, given the fly was in my glass. She later claimed again that I’ve already repoured the glass of wine for you.  WOW, how gracious of her.  Like I asked the fly to stop in my wine, so I can get a second glass??!  Rude, just plain rude!

2.  There continued to be multiple flies flying around.  To this point, I’m disgusted.  I mentioned to her I am concerned with the sanity issues.  Guess what? Instead of doing anything about the food,  she offered to call us a cab on the way back.

3. The turnaround time was fast and smooth in the first ~7 dishes.  As the restaurant filled up, and with two main servers it quickly went out of control.  It started to take ~30 min in between dishes.  At the end, we told them to skip the last 4 courses.  We just had enough of it.

What in the world.  When the bill came, I paid the full price. Not that I’m expected to not pay for the meal, I am just genuinely surprised that a Michelins-started restaurant could have such horrendous service. They were proud for serving in an environment with multiple flies.

Food and flavors are solid without much effort on making some intricate pieces on the plates. The baby pine cone desert was surprisingly good. We were really amazed by the building. I wished we knew more about the history of the building. The construction of the ceiling must be very difficult - the geometry and symmetry looks perfect to me. And, the food matches up the architect.  We were told "It's an old building". We knew Copenhagen is an old city, but we didn't expect there to be so many really well preserved "centuries old" buildings and city blocks.
