Spiseloppen — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

I've been to Spiseloppen many times and whenever I'm visiting Copenhagen, I have a tradition of going there for dinner on the last night before I go home. The staff are friendly, they speak multiple languages and the service us excellent.

If you have never been to Christiania, the entrance to Spiselopppen restaurant might feel a bit strange but once inside, the restaurant has a beautiful, rustic, loft feel to it. It doesn't feel like you are in the middle of a large city.

The food is excellent and the menu has a wide range of options to suit everybody. They have menus in Danish or English and I have seen staff translate for other languages. The combination of flavours of dishes are well thought out and wouldn't be out of place in some of the Copenhagen restaurants with much bigger reputations.

Price wise, Spiseloppen is excellent value for money in the mid range and overall, it is arguably the best restaurant...

Truly extraordinary food. It has one foot in Christiania and one foot in the real world, so this place will NEVER get recommended by Rick Steve's because Christiania is, frankly, intimidating. Even if it is safe, which I believe it is, there is open drug dealing and using. The stairway to the restaurant is covered in graffiti. It looks like you're walking into a biker bar. But the restaurant itself is a wonderful, old-world ambience with cutting edge food. This is a Michelin star-worthy restaurant, but because of the location and the fact that they hire in Xiania locals, it could never attain the rating the food so desperately deserves....

Have been meaning to try this restaurant after hearing good things but we were always not able to get a reservation when trying near the date of our visit. This time, we successfully made a reservation more than a week in advance. We tried the ribeye and venison, both were tender and delicious. We didn't have wine but beers. Prices are fair. Note that you don't have to order the full set but order the ala carte items you like. Restaurant is located just after the entrance of Christiania. The building may not seem like much, but this second floor restaurant is neat...
