La Castello Helsingør

30/11/2025: We went in a little skeptical – the name San Remo Café sounds more Italian than Danish – but the posters advertising traditional food tempted us, and we took the chance. We don’t regret it! The place was completely full and there was a good, lively atmosphere. We were greeted by a friendly waiter and quickly got a table. You order at the counter, and the menu was a bit worn, but easy to understand with pictures of all the dishes. We ordered roast pork with parsley sauce and biksemad with fried egg. The food came after about 15 minutes and was rustic and nicely served. The roast pork was crispy and generous, and the parsley sauce was delicious. The biksemad tasted homemade – just as it should be – but the portion could have been a little larger. The service was warm and pleasant, as you would hope for in Denmark. We noticed that some dishes were heated in a microwave, and that’s a bit of a letdown. Nevertheless, the overall experience was so good that we’d love to come back.

16/11/2025: We went two people. I had good food but my boyfriend had a dry pork roast with soft skin. The waiters were brand new so nothing about them but an older gentleman seemed a bit tired of the whole situation. The atmosphere was good and the food was generally ok for the money. But a bit of a worn out place.
