Kaffeekspressen Roskilde

12/10/2026: The visit to the restaurant Upstairs was a mixed pleasure. I got through quickly on the phone and got good service and a reservation. Upon arrival we were assigned a nice table with a view of the pedestrian street. From there it was about 20 minutes before the waiter came and asked what we wanted to eat and drink. It should be said that there was only one other small party in the restaurant when we arrived for lunch, so there was not much to see. I ordered a Lunch Platter and a large beer (the beer was definitely not large but maybe a 0.4 / 0.5 for 85 kr) and my wife a Stjerneskud, as well as a pot of tea. After another 15 minutes our drinks came and I got some herring on a plate, which was part of the lunch platter. However, my wife had not received her food, so I wanted to wait to eat until her food arrived and the rest of my plate of food. After another 20 minutes, my wife still hadn't had her food, so we decided to share the plate with the 4 small pieces of herring on it and some bread. A little over an hour after ordering, we managed to get the food. The food was delicious and in a suitable quantity. Throughout the entire process, it was very difficult to get hold of the waiter, who didn't show up much in the restaurant. After waiting a while, we had to go up to the bar to pay. We had actually waited so long that a customer who hadn't yet ordered chose to leave the restaurant when no one came down to serve her. I ended the visit by using their toilet. It was by no means cleaned and looked a bit used (despite the fact that they had opened a few hours earlier). The restaurant is supposed to have many stars online, but I must admit that we were somewhat disappointed compared to the expected level.

22/09/2026: The food was good. Didn't have a starter that was on the menu. Didn't have a wine that was on the menu. Serving was a bit awkward, reaching across the table.
