Hallernes Smørrebrød København

14/10/2025: Great service! I had a dessert and a nice refreshing flowery juice. Exceptional service, quite and beautiful place to have a drink and dine.

11/10/2025: Café Victor is an icon of Copenhagen — a long-standing staple for a spring or summer lunch or dinner on the terrace. It does a remarkably good job of capturing a Parisian-style luxury bistro atmosphere, with a lively yet elegant energy that makes it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The setting is pleasant, though a bit dated in some areas and in need of a refresh. The terrace could benefit from more heating on cooler days, though the provided blankets and heaters are a nice touch. Tablecloths would also help elevate the presentation and ambiance. The food is generally very good — simple, fresh, and tasty. The bread could definitely be fresher, but overall dishes are well prepared, and desserts are especially enjoyable. The mains are about average compared to Parisian bistros, but slightly above average for Copenhagen. Staff are polite and generally responsive, though sometimes a bit distracted and dressed in a style that feels slightly old-fashioned. Still, they maintain a friendly, professional (if sometimes overly informal) attitude. The bathrooms could be cleaner and more modern, and the interior décor would benefit from some updating, but the overall charm remains undeniable. Located in one of the most luxurious parts of Copenhagen, just behind the d’Angleterre, Café Victor remains a personal favorite — reliable, lively, and enjoyable year after year. I’ve been coming here for many years and even went twice on my last trip — it’s my go-to spot in Copenhagen when I want a classic, comfortable dining experience.
