Visited on a Sunday at 9pm, only two people were sat outside so I went in and managed to order straight away. The lady who served me was very warm and friendly. I ordered the flaeskesteg sandwich, and the roast pork was put onto the grill to heat up and then assembled in a toasted sesame bun with a mayonnaise, braised red cabbage and some pickles and then wrapped up in a sheet of paper. I paid 45 DKK (£5.21) for the sandwich which cost less than a drink at a restaurant when dining out. I took the parcel, unwrapped it and started eating it on the walk back to the metro. The first bite I had was absolutely heavenly. The flavour and texture combination is one of the best things I've ever eaten and it far exceeded any expectations that I had.

So keep eating here, and the rest of us can have Cheungs Grill...

Think thick pork belly with crispy, crackling skin, pickled red cabbage, and cucumbers, all smeared in a decadent bearnaise mayo—this is pure, nostalgic joy in every bite. Sorry, Peppa Pig, but your sacrifice was worth it.
If you’re in Vesterbro after a night of fine dining or swanky drinks, skip the pretentiousness and head straight here to fill the stomach void. Your taste buds—and your...
