One of the best dining options in a very busy, touristic area. Excellent food, friendly and efficient service and beautifully renovated interiors. Steak tartare and ribeye both top dishes. Highly recommend for lunch/dinner near Nyhavn!

Cute bistro with a great view of Nordhavn plaza. The waiters are all super kind. Only downside are the insane prices, but that’s kind of a given in Nordhavn I guess.

This Bistro sits in a wonderful location with plenty of space between the tables. The service is attentive and swift, with great English speakers. The menu caters for vegetarians, and meat eaters with lighter bites and bigger meals. We enjoyed our first lunch in the city, choosing the Toast Skagen, and the Salad Chevre Chaude. Both dishes were ample in size and very tasty. We had a table by the window offering us a comfortable view of the Kongens Nytorv. We loved it so much we are going there for our last lunch before heading home.

The sauce and the servers was good. My fries and salad was great… but my meat was chewy.
