An Unforgettable Dinner at Restaurant Capa, Copenhagen
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Restaurant Capa in Copenhagen, and it was an unforgettable evening from start to finish. Although I was traveling alone on business, I felt at home from the very first moment. The restaurant was fully booked, yet the staff welcomed me with genuine warmth and made me feel truly cared for. The cozy ambiance and friendly smiles immediately helped me relax.
The service was exceptional. Every member of the team I encountered was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. I’d especially like to highlight my server, Thea. From the first moment, she went out of her way to make me feel like I wasn’t dining alone.She was not only wonderfully kind but also highly competent and professional in her service.
Thea and her colleagues took the time to explain each course of the menu in detail, ensuring I understood every dish on my plate a personal touch that made the entire experience so special. During a brief quiet moment, she even paused to chat with me, which is rare to find in fine dining these days.
It truly felt like dining with friends.
A big thank you goes to the entire team and the management of Capa. Their coordination was flawless — the whole crew worked in perfect harmony. I noticed how smoothly everyone collaborated to keep things running effortlessly in the busy restaurant. It was clear that management has done an excellent job building a well-synced team; everyone radiated the same warmth and hospitality.
Thanks to this wonderful teamwork, every guest seemed to feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of throughout the evening.
Now, about the food: I chose the five-course tasting menu, and wow what a culinary journey it was. Each course offered a perfectly balanced combination of flavors a true explosion for the taste buds. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were bold yet harmoniously composed. With each course, Thea and her colleagues explained what I was about to enjoy, making the meal not only delicious but also engaging and informative.
The highlight of the evening for me was the original CAPA butter steak. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the pepper sauce which deserves more than to be called just a sauce was absolutely phenomenal. Rich, creamy, and with just the right amount of spice, it elevated the tender beef with every bite. I’m still thinking about that incredible sauce!
Equally impressive was the wine pairing. Thea guided me expertly through the wine list and recommended the perfect matches.
Even though I was dining alone, I never once felt lonely. Thanks to Thea and the rest of the Capa team, I felt welcome and well looked after the entire evening. The experience felt very personal and sincerely warm like dining at home in the best company.
In summary, my evening at Restaurant Capa was simply wonderful. Every detail was just right — from the warm welcome to the flawless service, from the exquisite food to the thoughtful wine pairings.
I’m giving Capa a heartfelt 5-star rating and will recommend it to anyone visiting Copenhagen.
Thank you, Thea, the entire staff, and the management for a perfect and unforgettable dinner.

Read moreCertainly a good steakhouse with what I would say is reasonable prices given the location and the city it's in. I ate there a busy monday evening and it was overall a decent experience, where the food was the highlight. I think I came here with unreasonably high expectations though since I saw that the place was ranked 21 on the worlds 101 best steakhouses and for me that makes me compare it to AG in Stockholm (no 9 on the same list) and it didn't live up to my expectations.
Service was good, but very slow - it took a long time to get the ordered snacks and even longer to get the main course, probably because of how busy the restaurant was. The ordered bread didn't appear at all. But the servers were very kind and professional, and misunderstandings can happen.
The food was good though, in particular I liked the beef croquettes. They were lovely and I could eat a thousand of those. The main course - Tournedos Rossini - was a bit of a mixed bag. Overall it was good, especially the potatoes and the meat, but there was supposed to be truffle with this dish and I honestly couldn't see or taste it at all which was a bit of a let down. The sauce was okay but it did overpower the flavor of the meat and the duck liver, first I've ever had, I could've probably done without but I guess that's just personal preference.
Overall certainly a good place and a place I could come back to - this time maybe with more reasonable expectations.
As a side note, I would say the restaurant is quite bustlin and loud so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is sensitive to sounds and...
Read moreI had a nice dinner including 2 glasses of wine for DK 1185. The beef tartar appetizer was good including great goose liver and I liked the angel hair potatoes at the base. The butter steak is a bit hyped in my opinion. It was excellent, came in my top 5 of steaks, but I guess I had hoped it would be a clear number 1. Something went wrong with my fries. Clearly the cook who prepared them was not motivated to serve the customers good food. See pictures. They were also too salty. The chef did not check this before they went out, even though visually you could already see this was not up to the pricey standards of the restaurant. The waiter also had no problem to put them on my table. Then I had 2 options: complain and get a new serving which would probably arrive by the time the steak was almost finished or scrape off the excess salt and cut off the bad pieces. I chose for the last option. All the time I was scraping the salt and cutting the fries, and my side plate was filling up, the waiter did not come and asked if everything was OK. I sent the remains back to the kitchen and the restaurant offered me a free coffee, which was good compensation. I hope both kitchen staff and waiters have learned to improve from...
