Pico København

02/07/2025: A good and successful evening with good and sweet service. However, with deals you have to buy bread and butter, and when paying you have to give an unspecified environmental surcharge, which the consumer ombudsman must decide clearly what it covers. A detail that does not overshadow the fact that the restaurant has a high standard and a good atmosphere.

02/07/2025: Firstly, the food was really good. Executed well and delicious, and came in good time. The staff were also friendly and prompt. Unfortunately, that is where the good parts stop. Let me first comment on the ‘green tax’. Its not about the money, its about the principle. Just because you choose to mandate certain requirements from suppliers which lead to extra costs, why pass it on to the customer, whether partially or not… everything is already expensive enough. Then there is no cellular reception as its in the basement, and no wifi. Thus i had updating my parking later. The cocktail/mocktail options are pretty basic and overpriced for Copenhagen. There is also a lot of upselling involved, which can be fine to present offers to the guest, but it did reduce the pleasant atmosphere. Lastly as part of the 6 course menu we got a ‘pre-desert’. Money grab to not make additional main. It was an average creme brûlée. No need when the main desert is delicious enough. I was left a bit hungry as a bigger man. A45 Dkk for ad libidum water is also pushing it. + no soft drink menu. Overall great food and good service, ruined by multiple decisions to save /make money.
