Taverna Kreta København

04/08/2026: We had booked a table for my birthday for me and my daughter. Even though we arrived a little before our reservation, we were immediately given a table on the first floor. There was a small flag on the table, which was a nice touch, but I was a little surprised that none of the waiters asked about the occasion or wished me a happy birthday. I have experienced this at other restaurants when they celebrate a birthday. The service was friendly. Some waiters spoke Danish, others English, which is not a problem, but you have to get used to the fact that the presentation of the dishes is in English - even when the waiter is Danish. We had chosen the Omakase menu with 13 servings, where the kitchen puts together the menu itself. The first four snacks were all really tasty and set expectations high. This was followed by four starters, which were also full of flavour. The soup in particular was absolutely fantastic and had a very authentic flavour. However, it took a relatively long time before the four main courses were served. It didn't really matter, as after eight servings we were already getting full. The main courses were generally really delicious, but one dish – a papadum with kimchi and berries – fell completely out of place on the rest of the menu. It didn't work for me and seemed a bit out of place. There was again quite a wait before the dessert arrived. Unfortunately, it was the weakest dish of the evening. It was a matcha tiramisu, but the ladyfingers were very hard and didn't seem like they had been allowed to steep properly. The cream also appeared a bit separated, so the dessert didn't live up to the level of the other dishes. All in all, we had a good experience with many exciting and really tasty dishes. Although some dishes and the long wait dragged a bit, it is still a place I would like to recommend to those who want a modern Asian taste experience.
