We visited Lille Petra today for breakfast – with high expectations, as the café is beautifully and tastefully designed. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing.
The atmosphere was unexpectedly hectic and restless. Despite the visually appealing interior, it didn’t feel relaxed or welcoming.
The food felt conceptually unbalanced: high-quality ingredients, but lacking harmony. Instead of a thoughtfully composed breakfast, we were served separate items in small bowls – half an avocado, half a grapefruit, a boiled unpeeled egg, and two very thin slices of bread. It all came across as rather random and stingily portioned.
The café promotes a “seasonal and locally sourced” concept, but ingredients like avocado, grapefruit, ricotta, and sesame seeds didn’t quite fit that claim.
Service was friendly but disorganized. Our food arrived suddenly from two different directions, cutlery came later, and the bottled orange juice was served without a glass. The iced coffee included milk – which wasn’t indicated on the menu.
To pay, we had to queue up with take-away customers, which added to the sense of chaos and undermined the otherwise elegant setting.
In the end: far too expensive for what was offered. Despite the stylish atmosphere and decent ingredient quality, the experience as a whole was...
Read moreLittle Petra is a trendy café in Copenhagen known for its stunning interior and impeccable design. The space feels like a modern art exhibit, with beautifully curated furniture, soft neutral tones, and a cozy yet sophisticated vibe. Every detail, from the lighting to the choice of seating, creates a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing environment that’s perfect for a quiet morning or catching up with friends. It’s clear that the focus on design is one of the café’s strongest points, making it a favorite for those who appreciate a stylish ambiance.
However, our experience was slightly underwhelming when it came to the food. We arrived around 10 a.m., expecting a full breakfast menu, but were surprised to find very limited options. The selection consisted mainly of some pre-cooked croissants and just one breakfast dish available at that time. While the quality of the food was fine, the lack of variety left us a bit disappointed, especially considering how promising the café looks from the outside.
Despite this, Little Petra is worth visiting for its beautiful atmosphere and the care put into its design. If you plan to go, it’s probably better suited for a coffee rather than an...
Read moreLet me begin by highlighting the cafe's strong points, which were definitely the ambiance, service, and location. Cozy, inviting atmosphere with their nice courtyard. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, I felt welcome and comfortable. The location was perfect - it was conveniently located near public transportation, and and not too busy and crowded.
While the atmosphere and service were top-notch, unfortunately the food didn't quite live up to expectations. Although the menu had a decent selection of options, I found the dishes to be fairly basic and unremarkable. I had hoped for more flavor and creativity, but unfortunately the dishes were a bit underwhelming. That being said, the food was still decently prepared and presented, and there were no major issues with the quality or freshness.
Overall, while the food may not have been the star of the show, the cafe's other strengths more than made up for it. I would definitely recommend this spot for a casual hangout with friends or a cozy...
