Restaurant Raadhuskælderen — Restaurant in Roskilde Municipality

My first full day in denmark, and I visited Roskilde because of the viking(ship) musuem.

This restaurant was recommended to me by google, because I wanted to try some Danish cuisine and I was not dissapointed.

I learned that danes like the idea of putting a lot of varied stuff on a slice of breat, and this restaurant also had a few of these on their menu, so I tried it.

It was really good! It looked great, tasted good, the price was fine - it was just a bit weird to eat 😅 Normally with breat, you have your stuff on it and eat - but on the danish meal version, there is just soooo much on it, you can't possibly eat it all with a bite. I probably looked a bit weird to the locals, but still enjoyed my meal nonetheless.

The service was also great, while it was really busy, they still found a small spot for me to sit and eat - all while being super helpful and friendly.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, and want to experience good...

Horrible service...hostess refuse to seat us and just decided to run around the restaurant taking orders and chatting. Then after 15 minutes of us standing awkwardly by the door we went in where the extremely rude waitress started yelling at us and saying that we could not sit on any of the tables because she was the only waitress (there are 3 other waiters/waitresses) so when we asked what were we supposed to do she said we had to sit on a table between the bar and the kitchen. The table was for 4 and we were 5. Also it was very noisy since we could hear the sound of plates and frying, etc. And it was where employees would go in to get orders. When we asked to sit by a table right across she went off again and literally said "If not this table then I won't serve you". When we decided to leave the waitress just laughed at us. Heard so many good review but we didn't even make it through the front door. Horrible service,...

På Rådhuskælderens hjemmeside under "aften menu" og i øvrigt også under "menu tilbud" på sitet, havde vi set, at der var lammekroner på menu kortet. Lige det vi søgte. Vi bestilte bord, tog forventningsfulde af sted fra Taastrup til Roskilde, og glædede os til en dejlig oplevelse. Ved ankomsten blev vi anvist bord af en travl, men høflig tjener og fik udleveret menu kortet. Og kunne konstatere at der IKKE var lammekrone på menu kortet. Forklaringen fra tjeneren var, at da man havde en februar menu med braiseret lammeskank, hertil bagte jordskokker og råsyltede ribs, var to lamme retter på menuen lige lidt for meget.

Så havde det nok været på sin plads, at rette menu oversigten på hjemmesiden!

Lam var jo det vi var kommet for, og da lammekronerne var taget af menuen, valgte vi braiseret lam, der jo er en rigtig vinter ret. Den så vi frem til.

Retten blev serveret, vel anrettet og så meget appetitlig ud. Smagte på kødet, der var mørt som braiseret lam skal være. God start - lige indtil vi nåede til de ovnbagte jordskokker! Det knasede bravt imellem tænderne af jord/grus/sand! Selve jordskokkerne var smattede og den meget kraftige skræl, fulde af jord!

Vil man absolut lave "nordisk, grov mad", skal man være ekstra påpasselige med rengøringen af råvarerne. Den del var svigtet helt for køkkenet. Tjeneren spurgte til retten og vi forelagde vores "oplevelse". Vi fik en beklagelse og blev oplyst, at dette ville hun lade gå videre til køkkenet.

Oven på dette fyldige vinter måltid (minus jordskokkerne, som blev lagt til side), så vi frem til desserten - en hjemmelavet parfait med chokolade og marcipan, indbagt i marengs og drysset med pistacie. Hertil ananascoulis samt braiseret ananas.

Wow - det kunne vist råde bod på de sandende jordskokker.

Ind kom desserten, som var en kæmpe stor, hvinende sød omgang marengs, uden spor af marcipan, men med en sej bund af uappetitlig .... dej og en kold kerne af ubestemmelig konsistens. Ananasne havde ikke fået fjernet stokken korrekt, så inderdelen var træagtig og hård. Umulig at dele, med det service vi havde fået udleveret - nemlig en café Latte ske og intet andet.

En overordentlig skuffende oplevelse, fra en restaurant hvor vi flere gange tidligere, har nydt vel tillavet mad med gode råvarer.

Regningen var som den plejer, rimelig i prisen, men for dyr i dette tilfælde, for et...
