Café Fry Østergade ApS — Restaurant in Herning Municipality

GOOD COFFEE I dropped by here MAR 2025 for a cup of coffee with my grownup daughter. As we entered the cafe no one did or said anything. So we approached the person behind the service bar. But before we got a chance to say anything another waitress approached us and asked what we wanted. We asked for a table for a cup of coffee. She politely told us to be out by an hour because of a large group booking - which was fine. She seated us and gave us menues. After a while we were still ready to order and nothing happened. So I walked to the service bar and ordered - and I guess that is how you do it here…. So why not tell us when seating us?? Anyway, the “bartender” was nice and professional and made us some good coffee that was brought to the table. So a bit of a strange experience - maybe management should shape up on procedures on receiving people - a little sign stating to seat yourself and order at the bar could do it. We did not try their food options - but they did have a nice menu. The cafe itself is quite cozy with a...

We decided to have nice dinner with my family but basically all family just got sick with terrible diarrhea from food. My husband got burned chips that as I work in hospitality many years and if I would see that any of my waitresses would even consider it to be fit for customer honestly tray would learn how to fly... my son been vomiting all the way home, beef mince in burrito was god knows how old and was soggy and soaked in grease. Could owners do something about it? Or we should inform food...

Jeg har været på Café Fry i Herning flere gange, og jeg ved faktisk ikke helt hvorfor. Måske håbet. Måske sult. Måske bare fordi den ligger, hvor den ligger. Men hver gang jeg går derfra, er det lidt med følelsen af at have betalt for en oplevelse, der aldrig helt dukkede op.

Det startede engang som et helt fint sted. Men hver gang jeg er kommet tilbage, er det blevet ringere, dyrere – og koldere. Og jeg taler ikke bare om stemningen – jeg taler om maden. Jeg har efterhånden haft flere lune samtaler med min jakke, end jeg har haft med personalet.

Retterne kommer ud med den entusiasme man normalt forbinder med kommunale infobreve, og temperaturen på maden minder mest af alt om “glemt under varmelampen”. Den ene gang fik jeg en burger, der smagte som om den var på flugt fra sig selv. Den anden gang fik jeg noget, der teknisk set var en pastaret – men smagte mest af mikroovn og resignation.

Servicen er der. Sådan lidt. Ikke uvenlig, bare sådan... træt. Som om man er en ekstra opgave på en allerede lang liste. Ingen spørger, om det smager godt – og det er nok meget godt, for så slipper man for at lyve.

Priserne? Jamen de går støt og roligt opad – som om caféen tror, den ligger i midten af Paris og ikke i Herning midtby ved siden af en Matas.

Alt i alt: Café Fry er blevet en café, man vender tilbage til af vane, og går fra med fortrydelse. Det er et slags kulinarisk forhold, hvor man bliver, selvom det er gået i stykker for længe siden.

En stjerne for indretningen – og en halv for de gange, jeg trods...
