Kompasset — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

This is one of the places to go if you wanna taste some Danish Smörrebröd. The views here are nice - and it's at the end of Nyhavn, that means your chance to get a nice outside table are a lot higher.

Service was quite fine and the selection of the Smörrebröd pretty good with some interesting combinations.

Staff recommended two sandwiches each. Which is quite a lot. And pricey, since one piece sets you back around 20 bucks! We ordered three pieces for the two of us. And that was quite enough. We ordered one with cured ham, mayo, potatoes, sweet cornflakes (!) and some greens. The other one was the classic: Herring! And the last one was another people's favorite - the open-faced shrimp sandwich.

Of all three the one with the ham was the best. At first glance a strange combination, but it works. The herring was nice to try. But the preserved fish is just not for everybody, but surely one you must try once. The shrimp sandwich was a let-down. It was on regular bread only, so little flavours there - and the bread was a bit stale. Shrimps were fresh and ok, but the whole thing lacked flavours. A good diet item I'd say, but nothing to enjoy much. A good thing: dogs are allowed (outside).

The whole thing is a mixed bag with some clearly good items. But together with the hefty prices I only can give...

The lady at the front bar was very rude. Google said the place opened at 11am. We show up at 11:00 and she looks annoyed. She said the kitchen opens at 11:30am. Cool so then why are you opened at 11:00? We go walk around to pass the time. Come back 5 to 11:30. We figure we could at least sit if the restaurant is open, right? Nope. We have to stand till the kitchen opens. Same rude attitude. They sat us around 11:40. She waited on us at first and you could tell she was being fake nice. Thankfully for our second dish we got a new waitress and she was much more nice and genuine. Thank you whoever you are!

1st- I had the Summer is Here. It was good. I liked how the smoked cream cheese made it seem like there was smoked fish in it while still maintaining the fact it was vegetarian.

My friend had the smoked salmon one. It was very fresh salmon.

2nd- We had the Little Italy and wow it was amazing. I have never seen a fried egg like that. Breaded and fried and perfectly cooked inside. The tomatoes were also...

Very disappointed. An appetizer, a vegan dish of mushrooms and avocado, was not tasty at all, no flavor, part of avocado was rotten. A main dish, fish of the day: when I asked how it would be prepared - the answer was "it will be cooked". Ok. And, a waitress was right. The fish was simply poached and placed on a plate. No seasoning. A few small potatoes were arranged in a circle around. A pea sauce was substituted with crunchy peas scattered around. At last, a dessert, described as vanilla parfait with meringue and strawberries was presented as a slice of overfrozen dried out ice cream with sliced strawberries and no meringue. Oh, and the service: extremely slow to bring dishes but taking your unfinished bottle in no time. A waste of precious...
