Aamanns Genbo København

Food was exceptional. We are visiting Copenhagen and wanted to try Smørrebrø and Aamanns Genbo was such a good choice because we loved everything from the ambiance/decoration, the food, dessert and staff friendliness. Definitely a must!

Very pleasant and excellent service. The ravioli and ribart were very good.

Lovely place with fantastic food.

A wonderful surprise on our way to the home of Carlsberg. We had some superb Smorrenborgs accompanied by excellent beer. The prices are above average, but the quality of the products is exceptional.

Really good food with fresh produce. Friendly staff who know the menu.

Aamanns Genbo – from “blown away” to a bit off track The first time we visited Aamanns Genbo, we were almost “blown away”. At the time, we wrote in Øl, Mad og Folk that Aamann had the flavours under control. After several visits, we unfortunately have to start asking: Do they still have it? Atmosphere & interior design We have a fondness for the old traditional Copenhagen cellar pubs, and Aamanns Genbo is almost the opposite. Here there are high ceilings, large ventilation ducts in zinc and a modern industrial look combined with solid wooden furniture. Should it be cozy? Maybe not. But it actually works really well. The place has its own atmosphere and shows that a Danish lunch restaurant does not necessarily have to look like something from the 1920s. The food It was the food that really impressed us the first time. Aamanns has dared to take a new approach to traditional smørrebrød, playing with ingredients and combining flavours in new ways. We actually support that wholeheartedly. But there is a fine line between taking a new approach and going astray. And the last few times, and especially this time, we unfortunately felt that several of the dishes had gone over to the wrong side. The flavours lacked balance, and some of the combinations simply didn't work for us. It almost made us wonder whether the dishes had been tasted properly. My potato dish was also far too salty. And when I say something is too salty, it's worth writing in the calendar. The beers Aamanns continues to do well here. The combination of their own beers and beers from Herslev Bryghus provides an interesting selection that goes well with a Danish lunch. It's great to see a lunch restaurant taking beer seriously and not just settling for the usual standard tap. Service The service was attentive, friendly and professional. There was nothing to complain about here. Overall experience It's perhaps because our first experience was so good that the disappointment is greater. We know what Aamanns Genbo can do. We like that they challenge the traditional Danish smørrebrød, and we certainly hope they don't stop doing it. But new and different is not automatically better. The last few times, and especially this time, we missed the balance and precision in the flavors that once made us so excited. Conclusion Great surroundings, good service and a beer selection that fits the concept. But on our most recent visit, the most important thing – the food – was no longer at the level we had previously experienced. From ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ in our book. We hope they find their way back from the wild side – because we know how good that can be.

took a little weekday trip with my dad. had been there before and thought it was a nice place, nice decor. the food this time was also lovely, although I think it was on the small side. very polite and sweet service from everyone involved.

Young but good service, tasty food, cozy place

We had the tasting menus - one vegetarian and one not. They were exceptional. We’ve spent 2 weeks traveling in Scandinavia and this dinner was a highlight! Thank you to the chef and the lovely wait staff!!

Excellent relaxed dining, set menu offered 6 smaller courses for 425KR which seemed good value for Copenhagen and the standard of food on offer.
