Grød — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

We were walking back from Christiania, feeling hungry and a bit undecided, when we passed by Grød. A man sitting outside noticed us hesitating and said, “I come here every Saturday, the food’s great.” That was enough to convince us!

My wife ordered chicken with veg. At first, her plate came out wrong—it was someone else’s dish. The staff realised straight away, apologised, and quickly swapped it for the correct order. To my surprise, in the middle of this mix-up, they also brought me a porridge I never ordered. I told them it wasn’t mine, but they kindly said, “Keep it.”

So I did—and wow. Hands down the best porridge I’ve ever had in my life. My wife’s meal was absolutely delicious too.

What started as a little uncertainty (and a funny mix-up) turned into one of our best food experiences in Copenhagen.

⚠️ Warning: Don’t try the porridge… unless you’re ready to come back every single day!

They are very understaffed. The glass I was served was dirty, the tables weren't wiped, and dirty dishes weren't cleared away so customers just pushed them to the sides.

They forgot my coffee and it took 45 minutes for one risotto to arrive. I asked for the vegan option and it had a suspicious dollop of cream cheese on top. I asked and they confirmed that it was not vegan, and served a new portion, just omitting the cheese, for the same price. They also forgot a smoothie for the person next to me. Several people got up to ask about wait times.

The waitresses had to be very blunt/ abrupt because they were rushing about. I don't blame them. It must be embarrassing for them. Hire more staff!

It's a shame because it looks a lovely place and has lots of vegan options. The food...

My Go-To Spot for All Three Meals – Grød

If you’re looking for a place where you can eat every meal without feeling guilty and actually feel healthier after, I highly recommend Grød. Here are some of my favorite dishes: • Green Bowl – 10/10 • All in Porridge – 10/10 • Chicken Congee – Tastes just like the congee you’d have in Hong Kong. It made me miss Asian food even more. 10/10 • Mushroom Barley-otto – It’s like a mushroom risotto made with oats, and it’s absolutely delicious. 100/10

Grød has several locations, making it super convenient. Whenever I wasn’t sure what to eat, Grød was my safe choice. Highly recommended, especially for Asian travelers like me who sometimes crave familiar,...
