Dinner at Søren K for Copenhagen Dining Week

Last night we had dinner at the restaurant Søren K at the Royal Library in Copenhagen as part of Copenhagen Dining week. And it was really great, delicious food, a beautiful view and the best company:  my handsome boyfriend. The restaurant had put together a wonderful three course menu for this week’s event. And it was so good. The dessert was, not surprisingly, my favorite. I have to apologize for the quality of the photos, but I only had my iPhone with me and this is the best I could do. This was the menu for the evening: Halibut with pickled cauliflower, crunchy malt bread and lobster mayonnaise Roast veal and sausage with pumpkin purée and black cabbage, Puylentils and...

We’re going out tonight!

  When you mention week 7 in Denmark, people would always associate it with skiing and winter vacation. But for the past 4 years it has also meant Copenhagen Dining Week. I have never been a great skier, but this new tradition is something I can get on board with. During this week, Copenhagen is transformed into a restaurant festival. You have the opportunity to experience a variety of good restaurants at a fair price. The selected 3 course meals costs DKK 200 pr. Person (about 37 US$) and also includes a bottle of San Pellegrino (a co- sponsor of the event). Some of the best restaurants are represented and common for all is that the high quality they offer....

Brunch at The Blue Dog – aka Den Blå Hund, Frederiksberg

My parents were in town last week, so we decided to go out for brunch. I chose a café close to our apartment, a good 10-minute walk. Its called ‘Den Blå Hund’  – ‘The Blue Dog’. Its located on Godthåbsvej here on Frederiksberg, and I pass the café multiple times a week. Its always packed and people often sit outside at the small café tables. I have been there for dinner once before but never for brunch so I was quite excited. My mum and I chose their brunch plate and a café latte and my dad decided on a Jack Daniel’s Barbeque burger and a draft beer. The brunch plate consisted of;

Trip to Torvehallerne, Copenhagen

I was sitting at home this morning and looked out at the beautiful weather we have again today. The sun was out and it shone so beautifully into the living room. With nice weather like this, you can not just sit inside all day, so I wrote to Gry and asked if we just had to meet again and enjoy the weather.  Luckily should couldn’t agree more, so we met up at Torvehallerne for lunch. There are many good places to get a small bite to eat in Torvehallerne, but Gry and I always eat at Petit Pate. A cozy little booth where they serve really good rustic sandwiches, cold cut platters and wonderful olives. They also serve wine and...

Bankeråt Brunch

It has been the most amazing summer weather today, ahh finally! One of my very best friends, Gry, came home from holiday yesterday and I’m going to Berlin (yai!) tomorrow, so we decided to get together and go to brunch in this fabulous weather.We didn’t really know where to go, but met up near the center of Copenhagen, and just went for a walk in the area and stumbled upon ‘Bankeråt’ on Ahlefeldtsgade. I’ve been there for drinks a couple of months ago but did not know that they also served food until Gry told me. They had a really good – and not too expensive brunch at 99 DKK. It consisted of a small salad with avocado, cucumber and...
