Nimb Brasserie — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

Last night Nimb Brasserie failed terribly and ruined our vacation in the process. They almost sent me to the hospital if not for the fast resourcefulness of the Nimb Hotel’s front desk finding and providing me Benadryl to counteract my allergic action to the alcohol that was mistakenly served to me. Note that we will review the Nimb Hotel separately to reflect the first day and night when everything went well.

The Nimb Brasserie serves French cuisine. The food was okay. We really enjoyed the Salmon Roe Cones and Burrata starters. The Beef Tartare and Tortellini were just okay. The steak was disappointing. We asked for medium well and got a steak that was blackened on the outside and rare on the inside.

It was clearly a busy night. We’d made a reservation. Several others without reservations were turned away with the host explaining that they were having a rush with everyone arriving at same time.

For drinks, I ordered a virgin mojito. I am allergic to alcohol, an allergy that has gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. The first virgin mojito was fine. After I finished it, I ordered the same thing again. This time the drink took a long time to arrive. It finally arrived looking exactly the same. I took a drink and immediately realized it tasted like rubbing alcohol. They had made the mojito with alcohol, but worse the bartender must not have done any mixing, because it was 100% alcohol and 0% mojito mix. I flagged down the waiter and sent the drink back.

As we waited for my virgin mojito and main courses, I started to get a pounding headache. After everything arrived I tried eating and drinking the virgin mojito to counteract the alcohol, but the headache only got worse, followed by nausea, cold sweat, dizziness and a face that others described as a bursting red balloon . I started to realize that I was having a more severe allergic reaction. We got up, flagged down another waiter, explained that I was having a reaction to the alcohol that was mistakenly served to me, and asked the waiter to charge our room so I could go back to our room and lay down.

This is when things really broke down under pressure. First the waiter tried to deny that alcohol was served to me. Then he refused to make eye contact and insisted that I talk to the bartender. My face was swollen, I was breathing heavily, my speech was slurred, I was weaving on my feet and telling this person I was sick. Instead of showing any empathy, he was trying to what, dodge responsibility?

I didn’t really want to talk to anyone, but since the waiter was insisting I talk to the bartender, I said just let me talk to your manager. It took a while for the manager to show up, but she was arguably worse, which I didn’t think was possible. The manager stared me down and said “I can’t turn back time. What do you want me to do about this.” No apology. No offer to help. Just open ended questions and again dodging responsibility? Unbelievable. We gave up and left the restaurant telling her to just charge our room.

Thankfully the Nimb Hotel front desk was nearby. The front desk attendant found Benadryl for me and ordered water and ice to be brought to our room. The medicine brought down the swelling and redness. Unfortunately, it didn’t help with the headache, nausea and dizziness. We had planned to spend the night walking outside and enjoying the night lights and scene. Instead, I spent the night alternating between hugging the toilet and passing out in the bed.

The Nimb Hotel attendant checked in on us periodically and offered to call an ambulance and/or doctor. The Hotel manager met us the next morning and apologized, promising to follow up with restaurant staff to give the appropriate feedback. I really hope the restaurant staff gets training on how to be more human in difficult situations. For now, we would NOT recommend the...

My first time eating at restaurants Nimb. Me and my girlfriend went for some drinks and ended up eating dinner there. We tried their autumn menu and I must say that it was an experience. If you want to dine out for a different experience, a different take in food, and wine that compliment them I would much recommend. But if you planned to eat out and be full at the end of your three course meal, then you have lucked out. For our first course, we had mushrooms ravioli with langoustine and langoustine cream which was amazing, proportion not so much. The main was as good but the proportion was well lacking as well in my opinion. Like 80gram of veal and garnish. Though the meat was very tender, well prepared, seasoned, garnish and sous, but that's all there was to it. As dessert are not my thing, I was glad to taste it and I found out that I like it quite a lot. Lemon pie, garnish with sorbet kind of icecream. It had a bit of every thing. Crunchy, creamy, sweet, sour and freshness. We had wine recommendation by their in house sommelier for all the dishes which was nice. Their waitresses and waiters where great as well. And in the end it was the experience with my girl friend that counts and we had a great time. Thanks and Compliments...

first and foremost, don’t expect to pop in here while visiting tivoli for a average priced meal (like we did). second of all, it is worth every last penny.

we were hit knowing this place would be a little heavier on the wallet as soon as we walked through the doors and were greeted by a lovely host and saw the stunning interior! but we decided to stick it out and i am so, so glad we did.

the service was phenomenal, the food was absolutely divine and the wine choice was fantastic too. possibly most importantly of all, we trenched in here in december after visiting the theme park, shivering, bundled up, i believe my partner was actually in jogging bottoms and i was in leggings, we did not look the part whatsoever as we were not expecting this restaurant to be as lovely as it was. but we were not judged, or frowned upon for a single second (like many places would and do).

this meal was honestly the highlight of our trip to copenhagen and i will most definitely be visiting again when we return, in far more appropriate attire!

so underrated & i shout about nimb whenever someone asks for copenhagen...
