Today we visited this charming, picturesque, and unique place with high expectations. The food was quite good, with enjoyable flavors, and the wine list was excellent, offering something for every taste.
However, what truly stood out was the lack of professionalism and empathy from the two servers attending us — a blonde woman and a man. They were rude, brusque, and almost mocking toward us as tourists. Unfortunately, we are restaurateurs ourselves and know the world of service and hospitality very well, and these two simply should not be at the front of a restaurant. It’s unfair to the rest of the team, who clearly put great effort into their work.
Perhaps it was just an unfortunate night… but it left us with a disappointing impression.
Thanks

I have been to Norrlyst many times.
The food is always delicious and I always look forward to visiting Norrlyst again. Today I ate with my youngest son, who is a vegetarian, he also enjoyed the lovely open sandwiches.

First of all, it's not a Michelin star restaurant as others say, it's a cafe from Michelin guide, this place doesn't have any distinction. You can not really get into this place without reservation which is disturbing for a casual lunch spot serving smorrebrod and nothing special really, and food and service is not really worth it. I liked their sister cafe down the road more.

Found this gem looking for the Copenhagen bib gourmand list and it did not disappoint. Amazing menu, loved eating outside on a warm summer night!

We opted for the tasting menu because we really wanted to try fine dining focused on local cuisine. So happy we did. Each course showcased inventive takes on classic Nordic flavors, using local ingredients prepared with real care, precision, and creativity. Every plate had a reason for being and something genuinely new to offer.
There are very few restaurants I’ve been to where I’ll remember, years later, exactly what I ate and how it made me feel. Norrlyst is in that category. Not only did every dish feel completely unique, but the flavors were bold and balanced, the presentations artful but never over the top.
The staff at Norrlyst were another major highlight. From the moment we walked in, every interaction was warm, professional, and thoughtful. Each dish was explained with genuine enthusiasm. But they were also personal and funny.
I’ve eaten at more than half a dozen Michelin-starred places, and I can honestly say Norrlyst is better than many of them. This is a restaurant destined for a star, and it absolutely deserves every bit of praise it receives.

Petit restaurant qui ne paye pas de mine mais qui vraiment vaut le détour !
Référencé au guide Michelin, il le mérite entièrement.
Nous avons eu le menu dégustation, et vraiment un régal des sens et du palais !
Le couple qui tient le restaurant est absolument adorable en plus, ce qui ne gâche rien au contraire !
Rapport qualité-prix excellent surtout vu les tarifs très élevés pratiqués à Copenhague.
Je recommande donc vivement cet endroit, vous y passerez un superbe moment.

Behagelig betjening med tilpas information ved servering af hver ret. Forudbestilt menu, som ankom i fint tempo. Lille lokale med lidt højt støjniveau. Toiletter virkede ikke
