Restaurant Møntergade — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

While browsing the Michelin app, I came across this restaurant near my location open for lunch. My mom and I popped in on our way back from The Little Mermaid to our hotel, and this restaurant fit the bill.

I'd like to clarify and say that this restaurant was not a Michelin Star restaurant; it is on the list as a more affordable option with nonetheless very good food.

When we walked in, we were immediately surprised by the clientele. The restaurant appeared to be a business center, with most of the tables surrounded by men and women in suits. But, we nonetheless found a table and were seated promptly.

We both ordered the tasting menu, which was a very good choice. Every single course we ate shattered the stereotype of Danish food; it was tasty, fresh, and had great presentation. However, I did not like the bacon + mushroom side for the tarteletter as much because it was a little heavy. It was still good, but the salty bacon accentuated the heaviness, so we were unable to finish it.

I'd definitely recommend a visit for lunch or dinner; or any other time, for that matter. Our servers were very kind and attentive, and empty dishes...

Really wonderful experience and excellent food We ate light Started with 2 yummy old fashioneds - well prepared (but lacking the luxardo cherries). For appetizer we started with 'brown crab' , which was described as similar to langoustines and shredded and served with papardum (crispy fried thin dough) cucumber and delicate sauce and another starter, poached turbot with tomato consommé, oregano & small tomatoes. Both were excellent and had many subtle flavors - served with real flair for presentation. For a shared main (which they split for us) we had the steamed sea bass - which also had a delicate sauce. Nothing had the heavy sauces or overwhelming flavors we have had on other restaurants here and Stockholm.

Can't say enough about the Sourdough BREAD !! Ate at least 3-4 pieces with yummy butter

Dessert was fresh blueberries with almond cream, dark chocolate and blueberry ice cream - subtle but rich flavors and...

Traditional, authentic Danish food and even better service!

I decided to try the classic smørrebrød. I didn’t have a reservation, but it was lunchtime, and a few spots were still available. I still recommend making a reservation, though.

They offered me a seat outside, which was great. The egg on the curry herring smørrebrød was fantastic, and the herring itself was incredibly fresh and flavorful.

I was even more impressed with the fried plaice with shrimps. The shrimps were delicious, and the plaice was perfectly cooked.

This place is known for offering authentic food, and the quality truly lives up to its reputation.

It might be a bit pricey, and while I was recommended to order two smørrebrød (the bread with toppings), I think one would have been enough.

You get free fresh water, and the service was excellent.

I highly recommend this place. Thank you,...
