Bjørnekælderen Frederiksberg

There are many good lunch restaurants in Copenhagen - but Bjørnekælderen is in a league of its own. Can be highly recommended.

I LOVE the Bear Cellar! Mads is just the master of flavors and the service is absolutely fantastic🤗 Coming again and again and again…

Nice food, but some vegetables could have been served.

After 3 visits so far, I just want to say that we will see each other again and again ... when only the best is good enough, then it is Bjørnekellerden

Amazing renditions of smorrebrod

The perfect setting for both a perfect little quick lunch for two or a semi-round birthday party at an exclusive level for up to approx. 10 people.

🇩🇰🍽️ Bjørnekælderen Bjørnekælderen is a hidden gem in Copenhagen, known for its rich history as well as delicious food and drink. Nestled beneath the cobblestone streets of the city's Old Town, this historic pub has been serving locals and visitors for over a century. The name "Bjørnekælderen" translates to "Bear Cellar" due to its reputation as one of the city's most famous drinking establishments in the early 19th century. Originally a storage room for a nearby brewery, it was later converted into a pub and an old legend has it that the name "Bjørnekælderen" came from a bear that once lived in the cellar.

A few years ago we had a creative and tasty Christmas menu with a twist: everything was good. Yesterday we were not impressed. The starter - squid and carrots was saved by the mussel fund. The squid was cut into strips and thus lost the bite that is normally found in calamari. The tartare was a nice, fresh, well-functioning small entree. The venison had been in the sous vide for too long, so it was completely without structure, and was served with no other accompaniments than a sliced ​​mushroom and a bit of marrow. The pear, which was supposed to carry the dessert, was almost unripe and lacked flavor. It wasn't a bad meal, but it could easily be much better - we know that from the past. Kudos to the young servant who was knowledgeable and present.

Fantastic food and really good service Worth an experience

Good lunch experience. Excellent smørrebrød, especially the fish fillet and the tartare were good, but unconventional flavors. Super service - and the kitchen managed to create 3 pieces of vegetarian sandwich that were not on the menu.
