Petersens Familiehave — Restaurant in Frederiksberg Municipality

Air B&B hostress suggested me and my friend to this restaurant. It was good in the beginning. I asked the waiter about two items from the menu, one is fried slices of salted pork and the other is danish omelete. The portion was huge. My friends and I couldn't finish the two dishes. Therefore, I asked politely if I could have a to-go box. The waiter rejected me and explained that due to the health issue, the restaurant can't let customers take out the unfinish food. I did believe what he said. I respected the rules if it is true. I even said thank you to him because he taught me something I didn't know. After I went back to the air B&B, the hostess asked me if I enjoyed the restaurant that she suggested. I told her what I heard from the waiter. And then, I found out the truth was he lied to us. He didn't tell me the one dish was "all you can eat" which written in Danish words on the menu (I still didn't understand why only the three words written in Danish, and others are English). If he explained the real reason to me, I also accepted it because no one can do to-go for "all you can eat" deal. But I couldn't understand why he chose to lie to me? Also, he didn't let me make to-go box for omelete which was not all-you-can-eat dish. And of course he said the same reason for protecting customers health issue. And he said it is the rule in Denmark. (In fact, it is not because I had to-go box for unfinish food another day after the day)

I still like the restaurant because of the atmosphere but was dissappointed at the one...

Service = 0 stars Food= 2 stars Setting = 4 starts

Food for the same table is served randomly. Two of us got the food +30 minutes after the others. Staff was extremely patronising (especially the elder woman that served us). Despite them being late and rude, they give the guests a feeling that we are the problem. Many excuses about being busy. As a popular restaurant there is no Force Majour in being busy - stop using the same excuse. My friend asked for a desert menu card where she basically talked to him like he was a year old kid and she his mother. Unacceptable.

In general I do not recommend this place. They should really be more humble and...

Vores selskab på 5 ventede i 2 timer på vores smørrebrød, og da det endelig kom var det ikke det rigtige og flere af madderne måtte tages tilbage for at blive byttet. Det var dog på dette tidspunkt ikke den store overraskelse, da hele frokosten (som efterhånden nærmede sig aftensmadstid) for længst var gået over i det absurde.

Vi ankom kl 14 til sen frokost, samme tid som et meget engageret band gik på og sendte overraskende mange ud på det lille dansegulv. -lidt svært med så høj musik hvis man ønskede at samtale, men vi lærte at udnytte de korte ophold i musikken.

Mens vi ventede, i hvad der skulle ende med at blive 2 timer på vores mad, vores holdt vi os hydreret med (flade) fadøl. Min kammerats første ølkrus viste sig at være skåret og han fik et glasskår i munden - til trods for at vi gentagende gange fik øjenkontakt med op til flere tjenere og forsøgte at vinke dem hen, havde det øvrige selskab nået at drikke ud før end nogen af dem kom over til os. Samtalen derfra gik således: Os: der var et glasskår i den her øl. Kruset er skåret. Tjeneren: ….? Os: vi kunne godt tænke os en ny øl, fordi der er glasskår i denne. Tjeneren: okay.

Det var på ingen måde en overraskelse at selv da vi endelig fik de rigtige stykker smørrebrød smagte det ikke engang godt (Taget i betragtning af at vi var sultne da vi kom og brugte lang tid på at vente må det næsten være en præstation). Jeg tror heller ikke at nogen af os var ægte overraskede over at “glasøllen” naturligvis var til fuld pris (er vi bare vant til at det ikke er dét der menes med en crispy øl?)

Der er intet omkring spise- eller drikkeoplevelsen jeg på nogen måde vil anbefale! -men af absurde oplevelser i København må Petersens familiehave være uovertruffen, og sjældent har jeg grinet så meget af et...
