Cafe Rabes Have — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

Ever heard of Christiania❓ It's a place in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 that has a "different" lifestyle.. And that's the least you can say! 😅 They like calling themselves Freetown cause they consider they're independent. I don't know their history very well and I'm not sure they're independent in any way but that's a peculiar, alternative place for sure. 😅 It's even more peculiar because it's located on the same island-ish as the Opera and Noma, and in front of the Arkitektur Center. That's a weird mix. 🤔 On the other side of the island, there's a neighborhood called Christianshavn, full of canals, houseboats and cafes. So bougie and hippies basically share the same island. 👏 Crazy. On our way to Christiania, we stopped for lunch at the most authentic place we could find in Christianshavn: Cafe Rabes Have. If I could picture a typical restaurant in Denmark, that would be it. If I could picture the typical server in Denmark, now that I spent a few days there, that would also be the waitress who attended us: initially very rude, she wouldn't accept us because we were a too big party, but then she found a spot and was even nice to the kids. 🤷 Overall, the food was good (except the brisket that basically was some boiled meat), especially the plaice. And, again, that looked so typical. 👍 Now the plates were really small and we didn't eat enough with 1 course each (2 wouldn't be enough either, I'm afraid) for DKK125 (€17). Basically that was just a snack so that was expensive. Is there a traditional place with normal prices in this city?! 😓 I really have mixed feelings about that experience: we had fun, I'm sure we had a typical experience, the food was good, but nothing was great, the server was rude (sometimes) and there was not enough food. . . .

Talking about authenticity. We were recommended here by one of the chefs from Kadeau. It’s one of the oldest cafe/restaurants in town. We were told it’s the first one with a permit to sell alcoholic beverages aswell as food in Copenhagen. Even the staff are of respectable age, in a good way!

It’s purely authentic, the looks, the food & the feel! And talking about the food, wow, it’s delicious! Very tasteful! We let one of the waitresses help us decide on the dishes, and it was better than we could hope for. Thank you!

The fish and the meat dishes are so good. Very sweet and helpful staff. All in all amazing! A real hidden (in plain sight) gem! Lovely! I truly...

I went to this restaurant just for quick lunch by chance, cuz this place was close to my client. This restaurant is super nice!!!! I ordered eel and herring. They were super nice!! I am Japanese and I usually eat grilled eel with Japanese sauce, here I ate smoked eel. I think it was the first time to eat smoked eel. It was fantastic!!! I really recommend the smoked eel. The herring was also nice. It was thick and tasty. The waitress was so amable:) But, when you enter, the door is very hard to open, so you have to push the door, strongly:D ha ha ha. It was really quick lunch, so if I come back to Copenhagen, I want to stay here for relax linch and...
