Very good and delicious food, nice and very gentle staff. We ordered salmon tartar and shrimps for starters and for main course, cod fish, mussels and schnitzel. Shrimp is my favorite and  the others are also really good. Portions are really big, we were three at that night and did not finish them all.

Had dinner with my friend yesterday and wow, I was so impressed with the food from the start to the end. Firstly the service was excellent. I didn’t get the name of our waiters but they were very professional and attentive; making sure our water jug was refilled without having to ask at all. The seafood bisque was gorgeous and every mouthful of the liquid tasted amazing. Fresh shrimp provided a little bite and texture. We had to wipe the bowl clean with the accompanied bread.

My friend had the smoked salmon starter and he enjoyed it very much too!

The main event for both of us was the chateaubriand bearnaise which was cooked perfectly to medium rare, as per request. The steak was well-rested and tender. The hand-whipped bearnaise sauce….mmmm… definitely beats the store bought bearnaise anytime. The fries were delicious too but I was too full to eat them all. Everything paired well with a bottle of Pinot Noir to wash it down.

Ended up with one more drink for the road; G&T and Bailey’s coffee and we got ourselves a beautiful dinner for a Sunday evening. The restaurant was bustling with customers even for a Sunday evening! Cosy atmosphere with excellent service. I know now which restaurant to recommend to my friends who’s hungry for a good dinner experience in Copenhagen. I, for certain, would love to return and dine here again!

Great find in the heart of the city. Food, service and atmosphere were impeccable. Went for the 3 course menu and couldn’t fault it. Our waitress was great and very knowledgeable. We had a description of the dishes and how best to eat them.

Highlights were the Langoustine Bisque, Smoked Salmon on toast and Boeuf Bearnaise.

Quiet on a Monday night, attentive waitress and generous portion sizes.

I went with a friend to the Puk restaurant, we were surprised by a cozy atmosphere and very tasty food.
But unfortunately we went in the month in which they started making the Christmas Menus, so the Conventional Menu was very limited, which ended up frustrating our experience a little.
