The Caribbean Housewife København

Absolutely love this place, the jerk chicken is always a favorite. The menu is always an amazing tastebud experience. The owners are very nice and take the time to chat and share their story if you are interested. I also did a cooking class with my team as a team building it was so fun and we made yummy food with their guidance.

My experience at the Caribbean housewife Was like no other. The care and Love that goes into each and every dish is amazing. I had several courses and I don’t know which was my favorite. The jerk chicken was the best I’ve ever had. If you visit Copenhagen Do not miss this spot!

This is my favorite restaurant in Copenhagen. We travel and eat out a lot and my husband says that this is his favorite jerk chicken in the world! 🌎 And that is saying a lot! The food is made with so much love and you feel like you are in someone’s home, not a restaurant. And the cocktails too!!!! So good!!!

Was so cozy to be back with such an amazing hostess and delicious food! Just like home… actually better :)

Booked as a birthday surprise and was far from disappointed. We were very well looked after, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere and a personal touch. As someone who grew up in the UK and travelled from the Netherlands to visit, the Carribean and Surinamese combination was a real treat. Every course was something familiar but elevated, and each wine pairing was just as exciting - do give it a try!

We did a cooking class with Jamain and her partner with Pandora cooking club to discover Caribbean food and we had a great evening! She put a lot of effort in preparing the menu according to our wishes and in explaining the food. The result was delicious! Thanks a lot Jamain!

The food was amazing. The best jerk chicken I've ever had in my life, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is one of a kind. Jamain was so kind and funny and really made you feel like you were a guest in her home. I will be coming back soon.

Absolutely amazing food at the place - finally some flavour in CPH! The wine list is also really unusual and innovative (much thanks to the host for guiding us through it). Overall a wonderful experience and I am so sad that just as we've found this place it is closing and moving overseas...

Hidden gem and what a nice atmosphere and dinner experience. The food was excellent and all with an authentic taste. Extra bonus was the wonderful wine pairing from a special wine house from Catalunya. If you look for authentic food, stop looking and reserve here!

BE SURE TO MAKE A RESERVATION My mother and I attempted to dine here last night. We did not expect to be in Copenhagen but our plans changed, and we found ourselves without a dinner reservation on a Saturday night. We stumbled upon the sidewalk sign and got excited at the prospect of a Caribbean meal. To get to the restaurant, you had to navigate through an alley along the Flamingo restaurant that led into a poorly lit interior courtyard. There was signage along the way, eventually leading to a doorway and staircase. It seems like we were about to ascend into someone’s apartment, so the New Yorker in me immediately wanted to turn back. My mother was more daring than I and went up the stairs. We were happy to see a dining room with tables nicely set, and mostly empty at about 7:30pm. We were greeted by a nice young woman who explained she would have to inquire about whether we could be accommodated. I assume it was the manager/owner who came over to us next. She first asked if we were vegetarian and then explained that our only options would be Jack curry or jerk chicken. She quite matter-of-factly stated, we saw the reviews and that’s why we were there. She then explained that guests reserve and see the menu beforehand. As mentioned above, we simply saw a sidewalk sign. We’ve never heard of this place or read any reviews. Since we were not fans of the entree options, we left. Honestly, the impression we walked away with was that the owner/manager was probably relieved we didn’t stay as the energy was not warm at all. Now that I have seen some reviews, I write this for the benefit of another potential diner who might glance at Google before going. Walk-ins appear to be frowned upon so either make a reservation for another day or face extremely limited food options. Don’t be discouraged by the entry! My father’s side is Caribbean and I’ve had some delicious food throughout the islands and in NYC. It would be nice to see how this Copenhagen restaurant compares. Plus, I’m always looking for a great place to host my law firm’s holiday dinner. (Please note: I gave 5 stars as to not distort this establishment’s predominately positive reviews. I will definitely update if we get a chance to dine here)
