Norrlyst København

We were drawn in by the Michelin Guide listing and the prospect of Danish fine-dining at moderate prices. To put it simply: we were not disappointed! Whether the four-course menu for just over 70 euros or individual appetizers and intermediate courses – everything arrived at our terrace table perfectly prepared and presented, or was finished there. We were particularly impressed by the fish and seafood dishes! The way these delicate ingredients are handled immediately reveals whether the kitchen truly understands its craft. Superb! Since the service was also friendly and attentive, we felt very comfortable from the very first moment. On a side note: one thing we'll never get used to in Denmark are the absurdly high restaurant prices for wine.

Nothing less than excellent food and the friendliest service and with absolutely ok prices when you taste the different dishes which were super well composed. We will be back soon ❤️

Fantastic food - every dish was perfectly balanced. Service was friendly and attentive. Would strongly recommend

Thursday evening with a reserved table we were warmly welcomed. A table outside where in my humble opinion you sit a few inches too close to your neighbors. The food was tasty without being conspicuously flashy although we fell a bit on the tail over the grilled cabbage. Yum. It seemed as if the ponds were hired to cover for the vacation of the permanent staff We will come again another time

Sublime food for the price and one of the best in the Norrlyst conglomerate. We are a long way from Michelin, but for the price, you should not underestimate this kitchen. Delicious small starters, where the lobster in particular left an impression. A sublime signature tartare, which may be among the best in town right now. Onions as a recurring theme on the menu, and understandable when the kitchen performs at that level. The bisque was sitting in the cupboard, as was the fish of the day. Not much bad to say about Norrlyst other than that when you call your vanilla ice cream the best in the world, you are putting your butt on the line. It was damn good, but trees don't grow into the sky after all. Thanks for a good evening and see you again.

Their open sandwiches with beef tartare are some of the best I've ever tasted. The other open sandwiches on the menu are also good - highly recommended

Excellent dishes and top-quality ingredients. Interesting wines, although expensive. I opted for three different glasses rather than one bottle, so I could better pair the wine with the food. Expensive, but in line with Copenhagen. It's in a very trendy area and interesting to visit. We chose a tasting menu and some à la carte dishes.

Five smørrebrød, four snaps, one macaron whose roundness I stared at too long. Norrlyst pairs every open sandwich with aquavit (mostly homemade), chosen by the waiter, and that felt like the correct way to eat here. The macaron under SNACKS had rounded itself up plumper than a macaron should be, chicken liver parfait and quince inside, but nonetheless made for a satisfying bite. The herring settled the whole argument. Christiansøpigens spiced herring with pickled onion, capers and kefir cream, poured alongside Linie aquavit, the one aged at sea in sherry casks. Shockingly… not fishy! It has apparently been on the menu since day one and I understand why nobody has dared to remove it. Best bite of the night. The Kiselgården potato smørrebrød topped with actual potato crisps was the sleeper hit, helped by the wonderful coincidence of the Danish potatoes being in season right now. Beef tartare with pine vinegar and pickled chanterelles came with homemade lingonberry snaps, which (meaning the homemade variation) the waiter explains is smoother than commercial, and he is right. The matjes herring with browned butter, egg and apple was the one weak link, outshined by its spiced cousin. Closed with three Arla Unika cheeses, honey and malt crispbread, then the vanilla ice cream with caviar and pumpkin seeds the menu bills as “the world’s best”. Not sure about the ranking. Very good regardless. Even the bathroom commits. The scent sticks are called lavender rain, a weather event that has never once happened. Try a bite of the spiced herring, my friend, but more importantly, trust the waiter on the snaps. ✍️Substack “Pretty Girls Eat Guts” for the full article! Title: “Symmetry is for Machines”

Cozy place, fantastic service and the food tasted great. A place I can highly recommend.

It's a really nice place to get some sandwiches 😁
