COZY — Restaurant in Fredericia Municipality

If you are white person or family and talk like a Dane and look like a Dane then I am sure it is a good nice place.

I am a brown person and a Danish citizen. I am writing in English so that I can warn the tourists who does not speak Danish.

So we came as 4 brown people around 15:30 to have a light lunch and some drinks next to the harbor. We had casual cafe clothes (shorts, jeans) on and got a full scan from head to toe just before the waitress had to ask someone before we can be seated in the 90% empty place.

The section close to the harbor was 90% empty, there was nobody but for some reason all tables were reserved for dinner (18:00 onwards) already at 15:30.

We wanted to stay only 1 hour and we said that to the waiter there and we could not get a table with a view.

We had to sit inside behind the door with absolutely no view (ok we could look at the kitchen and toilet). We were tired from shopping and made a pit stop there. We ordered snacks and cocktails but they didn’t bother give us napkins and cutlery to eat with. It felt like we disturbed them.

We sat there until 17:00 and paid nicely the bill for 700dkk (which was ok with us by the way, we know how much cocktails costs:) because we wanted to give our guests a good Fredericia experience despite the strange attitude of waiters and the bad rain at that day.

The person who charged the 700dkk was very suspicious whether my card will work or not, when it worked he was so surprised and relieved. Come on!

There was absolutely nobody in other tables when we left 17:00 o’clock.

Why does a place like this reserve ALL TABLES already during the day for reservations coming at 18:00?

So strange!

And our guests now believe that Fredericia has racist cafes. If this was not racism then it is still very impolite way of hosting customers.

Such a shame that this nice place does not welcome walk in lunch time customers who wants to have a drink and go away.

This place is not a cafe, it is a restaurant. Don’t bother go there...

Jeg håber virkeligt at jeg besøgte Restaurant COZY på en virkelig dårlig dag på et uheldigt tidspunkt. Det først jeg oplever da jeg træder inden for døren er hvad der efter min opfattelse er køkkenchefen og tjeneren der står i passet og har en for dem herlig samtale om at de jo om et par øjeblikke igen skal ud og have en smøg. Nå ja, tænker jeg det kan jo være at der er så meget styr på retterne, at de er smagt til forinden, eller hvad man nu gør sig af tanker i en situation, hvor der grundet familiens størrelse ikke er mulighed for at gå et andet sted hen, med så kort varsel. Det viste sig så at være lidt en fejl fra vores side. Vi bestilte wienerschnitzel og stjerneskud. Wienerschnitzel var paneret med panko, det er efter min mening inden for hvad man kan tillade sig inden for den kunstneriske frihed. Men hvis man vælger at stege den i en smagsneutral olie begynder det at læne sig op af en lidt uinteressant oplevelse. Når man derudover servere schnitzlen uden dreng, når man noget der ikke er værd at kalde en wienerschnitzel. Det smagte i grove træk som at indånde dampen fra isterninger. En anden sag var selvfølgelig stjerneskuddet. Her var der virkeligt kræset om anretningen og det så indbydende ud i en grad der fik de andre ved bordet til at overveje deres tidligere bestilling. Men her var smagsoplevelsen dog af den slags, hvor oplevelsen af ingredienseren giver en klar fornemmelse af at være lidt mere end grundigt hengemte, al ære for at minimere madspild, men affald bør nu engang ikke serveres. Så jeg håber virkeligt at vi besøgte COZY på en virkeligt uheldig dag, da stedet er min aldrende mors favorit restaurant hvor hun nyder at være tæt på bæltet og se ud på bådene. Jeg vil se tilbage på dagen med en taknemmelighed over at have haft en smuk dag med familien. Men kulinarisk ville jeg have været bedre stillet med en rugbrødsmad med...

Food was good but for a Marina restaurant the menu is quite disappointing with only 2 dishes with fish. It was also quite expensive. But the biggest complain is about the service. First comment by the waiter was "no stroller inside". ( It was lunch time, only 2 other tables...) And I would have preferred a " Welcome, hello..." first. Also, I wanted to ask a question to the waiter... but he was smoking during the service. Not really professional... I stayed 5 min waiting and no one to talk to while the kitchen was sending meals and no one was serving.. I will...
