Restaurant Koefoed

Wenn man irgendwo sagen kann, das Auge isst mit, dann hier.
So schön angerichtetes Essen mag man garnicht mit dem Besteck berühren, sollte man aber denn es ist köstlich!
Nicht ganz günstig, aber das gibt es in Kopenhagen für gute Kuche eh nicht…
und hier lohnt es sich allemal.
wir kommen wieder…

The murmurs of Restaurant Koefoed are starting to expand into soft cheers, and so I figured now was as good a time as ever to take advantage of my office department’s need for a Christmas Lunch location, my boss’ childhood spent on Bornholm, and my desire to check another restaurant off my list in CPH.
Koefoed did not disappoint even remotely. Their service was exquisite, the food was phenomenal, and oh man, the desserts. THE DESSERTS. All homemade, they even had their own infused honey snaps. Definitely a winner, and I will undoubtedly be back to try something other than their Christmas lunch.
Worth noting: I hate herring, and I ate their herring, because it was SO GOOD.

This restaurant is fantastic and on par with any of the top restaurants in Copenhagen. Incredible food, atmosphere and service, you will not be disappointed.

Disappointed. We were looking foward to this meal. The dinner started off great with a warm greeting from the host. Cozy interior. We both ordrered the fish tasting and wine by the glass which was very reasonable. The 2 snacks and the first starter was very good but then we got to the smoked salmon course and everything became very salty. The dinner would have been fine but when we finally tried to pay, and there was a very long lag to get the bill, the credit card machine wasn’t working. We sat there for 20 minutes with no complimentary wine, coffee, or even water. My partner and I had to go to the ATM separately to get enough cash and to add insult to injury, had to get our own coats! It’s like they completely forgot about us. Our last night in Copenhagen and we feel so let down. Can’t recommend this experience to anyone

The best meal ever. Incredible. Food quality, presentation, service, environment. Exceptional.

Caught the tail end of lunch, which is smorrebrod only. The waiter was exceptionally pleasant, and even asked our permission before he and the rest of the crew took their own lunch next to us (by which time the restaurant was, technically, closed, and we were the ones imposing on them).
Though smorrebrod are open-​faced sandwiches, these don’t come on bread, but rather served in pairs on a stone, while we each got a slice of delicious, thick brown bread wrapped in a kind of cloth sleeping bag.
Each «sandwich» was a symphony of tastes. Our favorites were the smoked salmon (chives, truffle, scrambled egg) and roast beef (horseradish, onions, mayo, cauliflower, celery). Everything was artfully arranged.
We ended with one portion of the cheese platter. Five choices, all relatively mild (even the blue) but tasty, accompanied by a cracker bread and spreads of gooseberry and rhubarb. Tip: If you’re eating with a group, try to save one of your bread slices for the cheese course.
All this on a delightful patio looking out on a quiet street away from the bustle and touristy trappings of Nyhavn. (The building next door was under some kind of construction, but we didn’t hear anything from it.)

I was so excited to eat here, and I am SO glad I did! I brought my mom here and we had the whole menu, caviar, bubbles and all! So many yummy courses starting with fish and small snacks, then moving onto my favorite course with chicken and fresh peas, which had an INTENSE flavor, moving onto a delicious lamb dish, dessert, an awesome cheese plate, pared with a great dessert wine, and then onto fresh berries at the end. This place knows how to give good service, provide a cozy hyggelig atmosphere with great food presentation. If you want a good taste and selection of local cuisine, don’t miss out on Koefoed! I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys quality expereinces!

Wow… What can I say? This was probably the best meal I have every had. And that is not an exaggeration, and I am wowed because I’ve been to some good restaurants before. I don’t even know how to start this review… So let’s start out with the ambiance… The ambiance is excellent… A perfect place for a date, a small and quiet place filled with pictures of the island where the restaurant gets all their food.
Next let’s do the food. The food here is some of the best that I have ever had… We ordered the tasting menu, the fish menu, and a steak and a lamb. The presentation on all of their food is excellent. I was consistently wowed with how each dish look, and they were all distinct! Anyways, everything gave me chills down my back, they were so good. Overall, I found the tasting menu to be tastier, but that’s my personal opinion. But my favorite thing from here was the steak. The steak here was out of this world! It was cooked medium rare, with some sort of sauces… And you ate it with this potato fluff. I have no idea how they did potato fluff, but they did.
Now for my favorite part of this restaurant… The service. We were given the honor to be served by Jacob Erickson. Remember that name. He was, hands down, the best waiter/​waitress I have ever had. I absolutely adored him. He was very well trained, in that he had great manners and never made a mistake. He had a real passion for what he did, and I learned that just by talking to him. Maybe it was just dumb luck that the restaurant wasn’t that busy, but it wasn’t so he was able to cut some extra time for us, just to talk. It gave him so much more character and personality! I won’t say anything so that when you go and have him as your waiter, you can go and get to know him.
Bottom line: This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. I loved the food here, definitely up there of all the foods I’ve tried. But the service here is just… I have no words that can possibly justify what I experienced here. When you come, ask for Jacob Erickson to be your server.

This place was great! The food was delicious. The bread (rye bread and their white bread was so warm and slightly crispy on the outside). Then the things that went on it were nice blends of different tastes. It looks like a small portion, but it fills you without being overstuffed. The place has a very cozy atmosphere in which invites couples and close friends to feel like they are on their own. It is dimly lit with candlelight and the walls were a beautiful shade of a cool grey with calm music in the background. They even have curtains between the row of tables just to make it a more intimate experience. :) The service was great. They were very attentive. The people there were so kind and way too courteous. I took me aback. :) I cannot complain. Also, it does not get a michelin star but it is highly recommended by the michelin. We were also concerned it could be slightly on the pretentious side but it was far from it. It was everything I would expect in a great restaurant. The food for two was 400 kr which if you know danish restaurants and prices is reasonably priced. I would definitely highly recommend it especially to many of my foreign friends that want a taste of Danish rye bread. I would definitely return.

Went here on 9÷30÷14 for our anniversary. Most pleasant staff in all of CPH! Excellent food and wonderful wine. Do the tasting menu — you won’t regret it!

On a spontaneous date night, Ulrik and I reserved at Koefoed’s and went with high expectations to be blown away.
To be honest, I can’t remember much of what we had. I remember us going for the five course dish (I had the meat dish exchanged for more dish), with smoked mackerel (pre-​starter), raw herring with cucumber cream, smoked lobster soup, steamed mullet with silky smooth mashed root vegetables, a sweet porridge with crisp chocolate and rye bread, and raspberry sorbet with homemade caramel and chocolate. I’ve posted all the pictures from our visit, but with the artistic skills going into each dish it’s difficult to really make what it consists of. We also ordered the wine menu, however, we reduced it from five to a three menu glass, one crisp white, one round red, and one sweet dessert wine.
What I do remember is the absolutely wonderful feeling eating the gorgeous food! The food was hands down amazing and presented in a creative way (my smoked mackerel was in a jar filled with smoke!) — I loved every single dish, and the wine was really good and went well with the different dishes. The staff was attentive and welcoming and the place — so lovely Scandinavian with pastel and blue colours, highlighting everything lovely about Bornholm.
For the life of me, I have no idea why they haven’t scored a Michelin Star. But until they do, you should really go!

If stars were awarded for being earnest the rating would be higher. The staff is welcoming and dedicated to their creed. The restaurant prides itself on ingredients sourced from a Danish island. That’s fine as far as it goes, but not if the ingredients are second class. Case in point, a lamb dish. Bluntly the lamb was strong tasting… not a virtue. So what is to be preferred local inferior lamb or first class lamb from France? I vote the latter. A scallop dish was ok. The small scallops, again no match for better scallops from France, were paired with green strawberries??? Sorry the combo did not work. One plus, a decent wine list at decent (for Copenhagen) prices. However the list was organized by vintage, not by region which makes no sense at all.

Definitely one of the best meals ever! We had the Smørrebrød — smoked salmon, rooster salad, potatoes, and I can’t forget the black bread. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere devine, and the setting perfect. Enjoy!
