Overview

We wanted to try a Michelin Star eatery on arrival in Copenhagen and selected this as we could make a reservation three weeks in advance, for planning purposes. Foodwise, it was mainly hits. We opted for the tasting menu but, on highsight, there were just too many dishes even if they were relatively small. The breads were okay but the overwhelming favourite was the rye with pumpkin and sunflower seeds. There were some tapas like dishes with potato croquettes, some small tarts with crab fillings, and waffles with beef tartare, as well as focaccia bread with butter and hummus. Some of us did not fully like some dishes here. There were also sliced meats in the charcuterie platter, as well as pieces of Char fish in a milk emulsion which were quite nice. We liked the grilled pork mains, which were cooked well and still soft. The lamb main dish was also tasty and fork tender, and delish with the spinach. Their wines are relatively on the pricey side. The reisling we ordered was on the younger side and slightly vinegary and we did not finish it. Dessert of choux cream was okay. One of our party wanted a non sugar dessert and they provided a small cheese platter. Service was okay and was efficient and relatively quick. You need to hang your jackets in the anteroom where the toilets are located, but need to do a search when you leave as the jackets may be swamped and hidden by the jackets of other guests.

This restaurant serves what I would characterize as nouvelle Danish fare. We ordered a la carte with 3 small plates per person and it was more than enough for each of us though we admittedly shared a couple of servings of their delicious sour dough bread with both a whipped butter and hummus spread that were wonderful. Every dish was beautifully plated, masterfully prepared with clearly fresh, quality ingredients. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with an airy uncrowded atmosphere and staff that couldn’t do enough to please without being intrusive. Our server, Victoria, was knowledgeable and was super helpful with respect to my lactose intolerance as well. She checked in regularly to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction and she and the kitchen paced the meal perfectly allowing us to enjoy each dish. From the exquisit green salad to the open face (Smorredbrod) smoke salmon and plaice dishes to the tartare to the sushi like mackerel to the perfectly prepared frickadellen, tender chicken dish and mullet we were served one great dish after another. Their prices are quite reasonable for a Michelin restaurant though by no means inexpensive but worth every penny for a great dining experience that will be hard to match and we have had some wonderful meals during our 10 days in Scandinavia.

Completed disappointment We came here because of the many positive reviews, but we cannot understand where they come from. It started with an awful user experience with the restaurant’s website: not with a phone nor with an ipad it was posssible to make it work somewhat decently - but okay, it is just a website. The issue is that we checked the menu for dinner only to find out that it didn’t match at all with the card that was presented to us in the restaurant. Zero overlap. When we pointed this out to the waitress, she just said we had made a mistake and had looked at the lunch menu. We had not. In a place like this, for that price, we would expect an online menu to be up to date, otherwise why put it there in the first place. Furthermore, in the online version it showed that it was possible to choose between two options per course, whereas the actual menu was fixed and it was not possible to make any change. Also, the vegetarian option that swapped duck, halibut, and an oyster for beet, cauliflower and cheese sauce cost exactly the same. So we started badly, but it got worse: the service was super slow and we had to wait one hour to get the appetizers. The waitress apologised for the waiting, but then we also had to wait very long to get the main courses. We were hoping it would save the evening but it didn’t: the duck was massively overcooked - just don’t cook it if you cannot, stick to herrings. The cauliflower, in turn, was hard. The sides consisted of kale that smelled and tasted extremely of grill smoke - don’t know what went wrong there in the kitchen. The cauliflower just had a lemony sauce. We had sweet-glazed potatoes to accompany both dishes. They weren’t our taste but at least they were cooked properly. At this point we were just completely frustrated, explained the situation to the waitress and just asked to take the deserts out of the bill and leave. The maitre came by and proceed to ask us if we enjoyed the food. Really? We showed our disappointment but he just shrugged. We never had such a disappointing experience before: without deserts we still spent 125 euros and got nothing out of it.

Ah, where to start. Recommendation from friends in the city. High expectations. Great start. The place is beautiful and the staff initially very attentive. Both myself and my partner had opted for water and the 'local' IPA. The IPA was actually incredible. Really well balanced with sweetness and body. The water was agreeably refreshing. We'd opted for the pickled herring and one of shrimp starters. I'll be honest, the herring was unreal. Like so much flavour and so well balanced with the flavours. The shrimp (prawn) dish was just okay. A bit samey, and perhaps reflecting an all time British classic, the prawn cocktail... Just lacking the charm. The follow up course introduced the steak tartare and th butter fried plaice into the mix. On the flip side, the tartare failed to impress on this occasion, massively under-seasoned and very disappointing. The plaice on the other side was really an easy eat. The roumalade was so yummy. I'm sure at this moment, you're wondering what went wrong?! This is a Michelin recommended restaurant. Therefore the expectations are raised somewhat high. The food was good. In particular the herring and plaice. But it ultimately fell apart with the staff and a few really disappointing dishes went amiss. We'd originally gone for the 3-course lunch, but the first two courses filled me so much, dessert was such a pipe-dream, it's unreal. Therefore, it's not unreasonable to expect that my request to adjust from the 3-course to a few individual courses. No no no. We'd been given the incorrect bill, which was followed by a very grumpy adjustment and coldness on paying up. I hate doing this, but this particular experience was rough, given how much we paid, the expected exceptional service and the little interest on our experience at the end of the meal. We've had lots of great experiences in Copenhagen, but sadly this was not one.

Our first visit to Aamanns 1921 was a delightful introduction to Danish cuisine, and it exceeded all expectations. Situated in a beautifully restored heritage building in central Copenhagen, the restaurant offers a modern yet warm ambiance, featuring high ceilings, brass chandeliers, and natural wood accents. The highlight was, of course, the smørrebrød—traditional Danish open-faced sandwiches reimagined with creative flair. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, showcasing the chefs’ innovative approach to classic dishes. Additionally, the evening menu presented modern takes on traditional Danish fare, such as the acclaimed krebinet with chanterelles and lingonberries. Service was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall dining experience. The restaurant’s commitment to sustainability is evident, with 60–90% of ingredients sourced organically, earning them a Silver Organic Dining Label. For those seeking an authentic yet contemporary taste of Denmark, Aamanns 1921 is a must-visit destination in Copenhagen.

A good, modern take on smørrebrød. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere that tends to get a bit loud, but the staff are quite attentive and the service is good. My Icelandic salmon smørrebrød was well-prepared and flavorful, and the fresh cheese was a nice touch. However, the portion size left something to be desired. The mushroom and hazelnut sandwich my boyfriend had looked quite nice, but struggled to hold together, as the bread was overburdened with toppings. This made actually eating the thing rather more complicated than necessary. For desserts, the strawberry shortcake was tasty but messy, disintegrating quickly when trying to portion it. We also had the vanilla ice cream, and it was pretty good. The food presentation is certainly a high point – all the sandwiches look very good on the plate. However, the functionality of the dishes and the modest portion sizes don't entirely align with the price. While the experience was interesting, and the food generally quite good, overall it seemed a tad impractical for lunch.
