This is an ambitious restaurant located inside the impressive new Royal Danish Theater - Skuespilhuset, an architectural gem, located in the heart of Nyhavn (lit. "New Harbor") on the waterfront of Copenhagen. This location, just opposite Copenhagen Opera House, makes it a perfect pre-opera dinner venue.
We went there at 17:45, approximately two hours before Donizetti's opera L'elisir d'Amore (see other post).
At the first glance, although the restaurant was quite full, it seemed to be running very smooth... in other words, we had a wrong impression.
Everything except the interior was wrong; poor service, self-absorbed staff, served food that can not live up to the menu description and the grandeur of the place...
We supposed to have a 3 course dinner accompanied with 3 glass of wine; one glass of white with the starter, one glass of red wine with the main course and Porto wine accompanied with strong Scandinavian cheeses served with side dish as a desert.
Anyway, we end up with 2/3 of the menu, by our request. After waiting approximately one hour for the starter, we ware on a tight schedule.
The food is based on the classic French cuisine and inspired by Nordic traditions.
Salmon with beetroot, warm spices, apple compote... Does not tasting any good and that's not only my opinion :-/
Christina during the degustation ;-)
Fried rose veal steak with sauter prepared cabbage, white beans and apricots. This dish was indeed tasteful.
As it is at the moment, at about 65€ per person, including a wine menu, it does not worth it. Nonetheless, I'll give it another, last shot sometime this year. It is very convenient because the place is very close to the opera house...
