Taste

Right around the corner from Marmorkirken, you will find Taste. A very ambitious French shop/cafe, comprising both patisserie, boulangerie, sandwicherie and confiturier - everything is homemade; the bread, the soup, the cakes, even the pickles in your quite reasonably priced sandwich (DKK 55 as takeaway, 78 to stay).

Outdoor serving in summer, cushioned leather furniture inside where you can enjoy a cup of Valhrona chocolate or afternoon tea with a madeleine or sablé.

Ofelia restaurant

Ofelia is located in the foyer of Skuespilhuset, the Royal Danish Playhouse, part of the Royal Theatre.

It has a nice view over the harbour and is very thought-through – even the lamps that hang from the ceiling are designed to avoid the light reflecting in the windows; that way the guests can enjoy the view better at night. The restaurant faces east, so you can enjoy your brunch (and free WiFi) in the sun.

You are allowed to bring your own food here(!), just pick one of the tables at the far end of the room and not the tables with the crisp white tablecloths. Even whole kindergartens stop by here to enjoy their lunch packs.

The cuisine is French/Danish. 2 courses for DKK 259, 3 courses for DKK 299.

Note! Only 2 starters, 2 main courses and 2 desserts to choose from. Menu changes every month.

Madklubben restaurants

Madklubben is a favourite of mine! The concept is simple in the best sense of the word.

As the manifest says: Good food in nice surroundings, no long stories and intimate details about everything they serve, but do ask if you have questions - and speak up if something doesn't live up to your expectations; tomorrow it will be too late to correct it.

Very reasonable prices: 1 course for DKK 100, 2 for DKK 150, 3 for DKK 200, 4 for DKK 250. And the Danish/French-inspired cuisine is really good.


They are only open for dinner.

This is a personal favourite of mine because it is great value for money, and I always leave with a big smile on my face after having enjoyed a delicious dinner.

A peek in through the window


Madklubben has other eateries around Copenhagen – lucky us!


The most recent addition is Madklubben TIVOLI in the Tivoli Gardens. The restaurant looks like an old conservatory and the menu is based on “dishes granny would serve in her allotment garden”. Small lunch dishes for DKK 50 (they recommend 3 dishes per person). Dinner is 1 course for DKK 100, 2 for DKK 150, 3 for DKK 200, 4 for DKK 250, similar to the original Madklubben.

The restaurant is located right next to Plænen (“the lawn”) in Tivoli where guests can enjoy free open air concerts on Friday evenings – Madklubben TIVOLI therefore has a special Friday menu with 3 courses for DKK 350.
