12/11/2025: Good service, but small portions and lukewarm schnapps Restaurant Maven in Copenhagen is located in beautiful surroundings and has a cozy atmosphere that makes it a great place for a relaxed lunch or dinner. The staff was really friendly and professional – high praise for the service, which was both welcoming and attentive.
The food tasted good, but the portions were unfortunately very small compared to the price. If you are hungry, you will probably have to order extra dishes. Another minus was the schnapps, which were served lukewarm – it is a detail, but for many, an ice-cold schnapps is an important part of the experience.
Plus: ✅ Cozy atmosphere and beautiful location ✅ Super good service
Minus: ❌ Small portions ❌ Schnapps not cold
If you are into atmosphere and service, Maven is a great choice – especially for a light lunch or a glass of wine. But if you expect large portions or classic Danish lunch with cold drinks, you may be disappointed.
09/11/2025: Really good food, classic open sandwiches with a (appropriate) little twist, and super sweet service. For example, when we wanted one last beer, but not the usual size, we got half a glass. It's the kind of friendliness and flexibility that makes you come back again - and then the good quality of the food, of course. The fried herring in particular was an incredibly good alternative to the well-known salted herring, not a trace of salt, but wonderfully fresh and crispy.
