Designcafeen København

20/02/2024: Well, this was an unexpected experience. Based on a star in the Guide, I had higher hopes and expectations. The evening began with me arriving and "the front door was out of order". Had to walk through the kitchen instead. (turned out the front door worked shortly after)?? It was my birthday celebration and the companys hostess wanted to start with a glass of champagne. The waiter brought us one and claimed it was named "Grand Cru". It was flat and tasted of raisins. He claimed it was "just opened" but that simply cannot be true. It took the waiter more than twenty minutes to present an alternative champagne. (We were the only guests at the time in the restaurant). In the mean time, the first courses arrived, way ahead of our welcome toast. A messy start of the evening. The twelve course dinner was a pleasent experience except for one, that was not on the menu. Som "Celeriac surprise" was presented. Too tough to cut through and harsh in taste. We had to send it out uneaten. Apart from that, food was impeccable. One of the dishes, Venison, was presented as being "cow". The management cannot let an unexperinced trainee open the restaurant. He was simply lost in the job and our experince took the damage of that. The whole experience felt unprofessional and not at par with the claimed star in the guide. Will not return.
