Café Algade Stevns

04/12/2025: Super good food and good service

26/11/2025: We were in Denmark for just two days to celebrate our son’s wedding in Stevns. At first, we planned to have dinner in Copenhagen, but in the end we decided on a local restaurant near our holiday house to avoid too much driving. We checked it out the day before and made a reservation, though we kept our expectations modest because of some mixed reviews. When we arrived, the restaurant was full. The very kind waiter seated us and immediately apologized for being on his own that evening due to an unexpected staff shortage. He warned us it might take a little longer. With that in mind, we settled in—but things unfolded much better than expected. He soon came to take our drink orders, brought bread, butter, and a delicious homemade relish, and then took our food orders. We chose the signature Colorado steak and the steak béarnaise, both served with potatoes, fries, oven-roasted vegetables, and a salad bar. The steaks were perfect—medium, tender, and juicy. The sauces complemented them beautifully. The vegetables were crisp and full of flavor. Everything was truly delicious and of impressive quality. Throughout the evening, the waiter remained friendly, attentive, and humorous, even though he must have been under quite a bit of pressure. He handled everything with calm and charm. It turned into a lovely evening for all of us, and we can only recommend this restaurant. It must be even nicer in summer with the view of the nearby sea. We’ll definitely have to come back.
