10 out of 5. I absolutely loved this place. We came here three days in a row. Unfortunately, on the second day the main fish dishes had already sold out by around 6:30 p.m., so I had to leave and find dinner elsewhere. The octopus salad, the tartare, and the shrimp with dill were simply incredible. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!
Been buying my fish here since I got into the serious home sushi game a few years ago and was never disappointed with hav. Good selection and super fresh fish. On top of that, the guys behind the counter are really on top of things and super knowledgeable about their fish! Thanks! - A happy customer
Hav was an incredible choice from start to finish. The service was excellent, and our questions were answered with kindness and patience. We chose only salads and not fish/seafood salads as this was our preference for the day, but every single thing we ate was amazing. Salads were cold, full of fresh ingredients, simple flavors, and some interesting twists. If we had to pick our favorites, we would choose the beetroot salad, watermelon mint salad, and eggplant yogurt salad. Overall, this is a food experience that is well worth investing in. It thoroughly exceeded our expectations.
I cannot recommend this place enough. They deserve more credit. Incredibly kind and pleasant staff, everything we ate was amazing. If you’re in a mood for fish and seafood, do yourself a favor and come here. (They also have champagne 🥰)
We stopped by these food markets again to try some fresh fish. We got the ‘3 fish’ for 165dk which included the salmon and apple salad, sliced sesame crusted seared tuna, and smoked cod salad (chef’s recommendation). We also ordered half a fresh sourdough baguette (def get some with your order). Exceptional flavours, wonderfully fresh, and appropriately priced for quality 🐟 🥖 there are no seats available for this specific stall but just a few metres away you can find some shared seating if you’re lucky. If price isn’t a factor and you’re into seafood, go here. Otherwise, there are equally good (or better) options in this food market.
