Kareten København

10/09/2025: We had booked a table for 5 people, all of whom were well received upon arrival by a chatty host, who politely showed us to our table. We felt comfortable from the start, cozy surroundings, relaxed decorative interior with a visual expression that creates atmosphere. But! But! But! To whet our appetite, we start by ordering an aperitif. It is enjoyed while reviewing the menu, where the order falls on their signature menu, for which we choose a lovely wine that complements the menu. We had not drunk the aperitif before the starter arrived. Now we have the wine that was chosen for the menu, the aperitif was not chosen for the menu, as I said, it was supposed to whet our appetite. Couldn't the waiter have politely asked if we were ready for the starter. It was otherwise a lovely menu that tickled the taste buds, looked good when it was served, so there was also something for the eye. A cheerful waiter who made the service cheerful, but brought the dishes too quickly one after the other. After dinner we finish with a cup of coffee, which we barely had time to enjoy before the waiter came and said that the table should be used elsewhere. I would like to say a few words about that. A restaurant visit is a food experience that should stimulate the different senses, it is also self-indulgence, coziness and conversation in good company. Out of pure courtesy, you should tell us from the start how much time we have at our disposal, we would then have had the opportunity to coordinate the order, based on the allotted time. For the record, you should make your guests aware of this time limit on your website, in large letters at the top. A food experience with immersion, "that's not what it's like here", and it wasn't a cheap evening either.
