Danish Cuisine

Restaurant: 4/5

The Dining Room is located in Radisson SAS Scandinavia Hotel near the center of Copenhagen. The restaurant has a nice modern decor and is very comfortable. You should reserve a table near the window as the The Dining Room has a fantastic view on center of Copenhagen.

Service: 2/5

Service was good but very slow. As the restaurant was not full, that was quite surprising. They could do with a bit more staff.

Food: 3.5/5

First, I was served bread with olive oil and humus. The humus was very good.

The following appetizer was an artichoke puree. Pretty good but not remarkable.

As starter, I had the smoked salmon. The presentation of the salmon was very modern. The salmon was served with mayonaise, carrot puree and pink grapefruit. Pretty strange at first but it works. That was very good.

As main course, I had veal. The veal was served crusted with sweet potatoes, turnip mash and roasted green plums. That was truly excellent. The combination of flavor works really well.

As desert, I had roasted plums. The plums were served with a caramel ice cream and buisquit. Again, that was truly excellent.

Value for money: 3/5

Around $100, including drinks (sparkling water and espresso) and tip. Considering the restaurant, the food and the current strength of the Danish krone, The Dining Room is a good value for money. I will come back.

Danish Cuisine

Restaurant: 3/5

Nyhavns Færgekro is located in New Hafen, in the heart of Copenhagen. The restaurant has a traditional decor and is relatively comfortable. I highly recommend the very nice terrace, a good place for “flirt and skirts”.

Service: 2/5

Service was good but very slow. As the restaurant was packed, they could have done with a bit more staff.

Food: 2.5/5

As main course, I had the frokoststeak. The steak was served with a very good mustard sauce and on the side a kind of wedges. The meat was tender and tasty. One regret, the wedges were a bit too oily.

As desert, I had the apple pie. The apple pie was served with vanilla flavored whipped cream, mint leafs and tropical fruits. The pie, with it very soft biscuit was very good.

Value for money: 3/5

Around $55, including drinks (beer and coffee) and tip. Considering the location, the current strength of the Danish krone and food quality, Nyhavns Færgekro is a very good value for money. I will come back.

Contemporary Thai cuisine

Restaurant: 3.5/5

Blue Elephant is located in Radisson SAS Scandinavia Hotel near the center of Copenhagen. The restaurant is very comfortable and has a beautiful Thai themed decor.

Service: 1.5/5

The service was very mechanical and the burned menu didn’t add to the experience. On the upside, an orchid is offered to womens when leaving the restaurant.

Food: 2.5/5

I started with a very traditional tom kha gai, a chicken and lemon grass soup. The soup was very flavorful but could have been a bit more spicy.

As main course, I had kai himmapan, a dish of chicken with cashew, green peppers, red peppers, baby corn, pineapple and onion served in an half pineapple. It was good but, again, a bit bland for Indian food.

Value for money: 2/5

Around $80, including drinks (mai tai, still water and espresso) and tip. Considering the food, the location and the current strength of the Danish Kroner, Blue Elephant offers just a fair value for money. I probably won’t come back.
