Café Apropos — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

We stumbled upon “Café Apropos” on the evening of the 18th — the grand finale of our 8-day Danish road trip. And I do mean stumbled: it was 9:30 PM, we were running late, and desperately hunting for something to feed the kid. The place looked stylish and vaguely Parisian, so we thought, “Why not?”

Well… the confusion began with the menu and only got worse from there. If this was meant to be a Parisian bistro, someone forgot to tell the kitchen. The kids’ chicken? Marinated in a spicy sauce — because nothing says “child-friendly” like a surprise kick of heat. Once we realized that, we swapped it for a delightfully thin hamburger tucked inside a hollow bun. Gourmet minimalism, perhaps?

Meanwhile, the “tapas plate” featured jalapeños, tortilla sauce, and a few mystery items that defied identification.

And the “Parisian steak”? Oh dear. It was a dry hamburger (dear “chef,” ever heard of beef fillet?) perched on a slice of yesterday’s bread, surrounded by random vegetables that added nothing but confusion — and later, stomach drama I won’t detail here out of mercy.

The one bright spot? Our waitress. Cheerful, friendly, and just as baffled as we were when the kitchen insisted, “Yes, the baby chicken is marinated in spicy sauce — but just a little spicy!”

Final verdict: charming decor, baffling food, and a culinary identity crisis (yes, including pasta with chicken). Proceed with caution — or...

The place to be ignored! I have just been there, the waitresses saw us coming in and never came to our table or acknowledged us! They were with a gentleman who appeared to be the manager, just talking by the end of the bar! After more than 20 minutes waiting, I had to get up and ask them if they could serve us! The gentleman who appeared to be in charged to his coat off, came to serve us and before greeting us, told us they were going to be closing in 40 minutes, when I said we have been waiting for more than 20 minutes and the staff ignored us, he said he was busy chasing someone who didn’t pay the bill before, which is not true since we arrived he was standing up and talking to his staff and saw us coming in! We said we were leaving, and he just said we could do whatever we wanted, he didn’t care! He does not care about business and customer services! I returned to this place because the night before was my birthday and I had there a bottle of champagne with my partner and we wanted to celebrate our last night in Denmark with another bottle tonight! I would not recommend this place to anybody! It does not open to midnight like it says! They want you out by 2230! I was...

This place has amazing food, but the staff were not as attentive. It took 5 minutes for someone to make seat us. 15 minutes to get a menus and 15 minutes for someone to take our order.

From arrival to getting our first drink, it took over 20 minutes and 45 minutes to get our food. I would not have minded, but they had plenty of staff and very few customers.

Staff seemed not interested in taking our order. One was preoccupied with checking his mobile phone

When the food finally came, it was delicious, so much so I went over and thanked them for the awesome food.

If you want great food but really poor service, this place is a must go to. But if you want nice service, then don't bother, especially if you...
