Bistro Royal – Madklubben

If you are visiting Denmark from Sweden — don’t be confused that the Swedish word for breakfast is Frukost, which is lunch in Danish. Whether that is because Danes snooze until noon or if Swedes eat lunch for breakfast remains to be discovered.
Anyway, if you’re going for an early bite of food (morgenmad) — try the regular breakfast for 100DKK and upgrade with truffle flavored eggs and a cup of coffee/​tea.
Delicious and good size of the portions. You get two slices of rye bread with tasty cheese & butter (they look a bit dull but don’t be fooled).
The granola with the skyr was great, delicious with interesting flavors marrying each other, in a happy way (might have been some sugar in it — forgot to ask — but didn’t care so much this morning).
It took some time before I got my food but since I arrived just after the opening and a few customers were already there — that might have explained it. Calm and soothing background music. Worthy a visit!

Great food great price ok service. Now this is a restaurant I was very very impressed by. There was a line to come in of people waiting to be seated the whole time I was having lunch so from 12.30 to 14.30 on a Tuesday the place was absolutely packed. That for me it is very impressive for a city like Copenhagen. The food is very nice for the price, the wine list is amazing we had the Sauvignon Blanc from Loire they have from Domaine Sauvion it is really nice fresh and citrusy. I tried their goat cheese salad for me it was missing an extra goat cheese it was a little too little for the salads ratio. It was a business lunch so for me it was not the best location as it is way too noisy for a business lunch and too crammed. My partner had a burger, they didn’t get it right at first because he asked with no dressing and it came with a lot for dressing he returned it and it took them 45 min to bring a new one on the upper side we got his meal for free.

I’m neither pro or con ‘Madklubben’ — I’ve had good and bad experiences at their restaurants… But this one seems to be one of the better.
I went there with my colleagues and we were 32 (as in freaking THIRTY-​TWO) people who had to get our food at the same time and this usually causes a lot of trouble and waiting time, but let me say — it worked out pretty good. We got the food quick and everything was correct!
I chose the cheeseburger and it was quite tasty. Only negative thing is that I really hate mustard and there was a lot of it in my burger. Really tasty fries!
Had the coupe royal for dessert and it was so yummy. Wish I had an excuse for eating two.
Service was quick, efficient and super friendly — it’s a discountplace but it didn’t fell discount at all.

Good service. Decent food. Two things I mainly look for in a restaurant. The ambiance comes next. They have 100 dkk lunch meals — which I think cheap by Denmark standards Dinner meals cost more. And since this is a Danish-​French bistro, I’m a regular fan of the huge portion of blue mussels in white wine (moules mariniere), fries served with mayo (not ketchup, mind you) and the salty caramel sundae just yum Overall, I would say this restaurant is easy on the pocket and one can get to taste a piece of France.

Really liked this place. Wife and I had the beef and it was great. Very relaxed place with good food and desert. Not many choices, but they do it well.

Went here last Saturday with 5 other friends. 4 of us arrived first and is meet by a nice waiter who guides us to our table. We sit for 2 min. and she comes back to ask if we want to start with some buble water and we say we haven´t looked at the menu yet. 2 min. pass and she is back asking the same question and we give the same answer. After a couple of minutes our two other friends arrives and after a couple of minutes, because we are hungry we agree on the steak and a bottle of wine. The waiter is back and I order for all of us, where she comment on if we didn´t want the buble water anyway (no, we did not want it, and you are a little to eager to sell it, read the crowd).
We wait for the food which had a salad as a starter, but instead the sides for the maincourse come in? The waiter then see that we haven´t gotten our starter and quickly goes into the kicthen to get the salads and comes back and makes a very claerly lie of their mistake, that they just changed it last minute and now the saled (the starter) is now also a side. Not a problem but a little wird instead of just admitting that they made a mistake.
But we get the steak and the smallest bowl of sause for 6 people, ask for more and 20 min. after they bring in a very big bowl (were was that to begin with)
The meat was really bad I think all of us had to do the trick with spitting the meat out again because we we unable to chew it. Good thing was the fries, the salad was a little to rustic (it´s okay to cut it out a little bit.
The price was normally an okay price but the experience all together it was not a place I would recommend or go back to. I normally really like Madklubben and all of their branches, but the food is not worth returning to.

Me and a friend came here on their second day being open since we were very curious to try the new restaurant 100 meters from our job! And we definitely were not disappointed!
We were able to walk in, and only wait about 5 mins, and were seated. The service was a bit slow at first, but they were completely packed, so understandable. We had a great view of Kongens Nytorv, and once we were greeted, it went really smoothly. A bottle of the house white was only 200 kr. Great value for money. Yes, the menu is simple, but that’s the concept. Our first course is a great salad which we devoured. He had the steak, and I had the mussels. The portions are ridiculous! (Reminded me of American portions!) And each main dish comes with a LARGE BUCKET of french fries! We definitely only needed one bucket between the two of us! I thought the mussels were good, but a little too salty. He loved the steak. Sadly we didn’t have room for dessert because we were stuffed. That will be for next time.
I must say, being able to have a dinner for 2 with wine for 600 kr in the middle of town and leave completely stuffed and satisfied is a small feat, as most people living in Copenhagen realize. If you like a simple menu with good value for money and a great atmosphere and locations, this is the place for you. I will definitely be recommending it to friends looking for a spot in the middle of town!
