A perfect example of "don't judge a book by its cover". Trust yourself when you're roaming through the back alley in search of the entrance to this place because what will greet you is a beautiful communal dining experience where you can tell that so much love has gone into everything. That jerk chicken was something else! So much flavor.
Thanks again Jamain for your warm welcome and introduction to Caribbean soul food.

A fantastic find! Highly recommend to try some of the best Caribbean flavors and some perfectly cooked food. The atmosphere was fun and inviting, and you could feel the effort put into making you feel special while dinning. I would absolutely go back and recommend for an evening out.
Recommended you make reservations, but we were lucky and were able to get in and nab the last table.

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic experience at The Caribbean Housewife. We chose the 8-course menu and were truly spoiled from start to finish. Every dish was full of flavor and love – especially their "Coq au Rhum" and the modern version of "Île Flottante" made a big impression.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff led by Jamain were both sweet and attentive. You could feel the passion for the food and the culture. We left happy, full and wanting to come again.
Highly recommended - especially if you want to try something different and delicious!

I would give 3,5 stars if possible, but 4 is too much. The highlight are the very tasty chicken dishes. Also the side dishes were delicious, but too small compared to the chicken. I expected a more cosy and warm atmosphere... I believe that went all wrong the evening we were there and it impacted very much the whole experience.

Great food! Takes me back to the food at the Eetcafé I grew up in. Homemade spekkoek, tasty and gigantic cocktail, soul food and good atmosphere! Great host! Just what we needed. Only with booking! Or via Earlybird.

This place has a very special atmosphere and is a place like no other in Copenhagen. There is lovely home-cooked food and good natural wine in original combinations, low prices - and the city's best hostess.

Spectacular. We booked it through early bird and, even though the entrance js a bit hard to find, it was completely worth it: the best chicken I have eaten, I specifically recommend the jerk chicken. And 10/10 for service. Just so you know, you can’t simply walk in, you need to book it, even if it’s the same day.

This is one of the top restaurants I have dined at in my lifetime, and was my favorite dinner during my trip to Copenhagen. I was able to sit down with the owner and executive chef, Jamain, and she is such a talented and kind individual. Each dish was more flavorful than the next. You can tell the love and passion that goes into each dish. I felt like I was having dinner at Jamain’s home- I love the concept she has created. All of the wine is sourced from female owned vineyards and compliments each course nicely. The jerk chicken was phenomenal, and better than jerk chicken I’ve had in the Caribbean. Whether you are a local or visiting, make sure to dine at the Caribbean Housewife. I will certainly be back during my next trip. Thank you for a wonderful experience and making this a highlight of my trip!

Cozy decor, sweet hostess, delicious chicken.
Super delicious wine, but a little practice that there is no mention of a price for the water, which is put on the table.
