Cafe Olai Helsingør

Very tasty Parisian buffet and the children's hamburger were served with crackling sparklers and a candy cane for dessert!

Enjoyed the open face sandwich (3 pcs at Kitchen's discretion) as well as the Steamed Salmon very much. We enjoyed our bottle of Amarone Della Valpolicella Sopra Sasso 2018 very much as well. Highly recommended restaurant !

Lush, comforting food. Massive portions, but it didn’t stop us from finishing everything as the quality of the ingredients was fantastic. Service was lovely as well.

Fantastically delicious sandwiches.

Run, don’t walk to this restaurant!! We are traveling as a family of 2 adults and 2 children. We arrived in Helsingor with tired cranky hungry child and needed to find a place to eat ASAP that was ideally authentic Danish food and met our dietary restrictions. ChatGPT suggested Cafe Olai so we immediately headed there. The staff were gracious and welcoming and after being seated we saw how beautiful the other table’s food looked and smelled and got excited for our upcoming meal. The kids both ordered the lox egg asparagus plate and begged the waitress for more asparagus. They said “it tastes like dessert”. My spouse ordered the Christians herring plate and I ended up switching with him because it was so good. The waitress let me sample their beer selection and although I don’t normally drink beer, it looked so refreshing at the next table that my spouse and I split the IPA. The sweetest and most unexpected moment was that when my children’s plates were brought out the staff had put sparklers, candy, and little toys on their plates. They were delighted and will remember Cafe Olai as one of the highlights of their 2 week trip to Denmark. PS - we tried 3 different types of bread, all were good, but one particular brown toasted bread was the best we have had in our life! We also asked for a second serving of that and fought over the last piece.

Great cafe with Danish dishes which were exceptional. The staff are amazing and helped mage a great night

Excellent food and service but a lot of noise from Swedish company. The restaurant is also very small. Highly recommended.

So good that you can get gluten-free sandwiches!

We called and booked a table today for around 11:30. We were greeted by a very friendly voice who wanted to reserve a table for us. When we arrived we were greeted kindly and given the menu. Shortly afterwards we placed our order. We both wanted no. 384 - Platter with Faroese smoked salmon for Kr. 229. The waiting time was short for both drinks and food. The dish was made very delicately, the fish fillet was warm and everything tasted delicious. There was something for both the eyes and the palate and the staff were very friendly.

So nice and tasty sandwiches and friendly staff
