Restaurant Møntergade

While browsing the Michelin app, I came across this restaurant near my location open for lunch. My mom and I popped in on our way back from The Little Mermaid to our hotel, and this restaurant fit the bill. I'd like to clarify and say that this restaurant was not a Michelin Star restaurant; it is on the list as a more affordable option with nonetheless very good food. When we walked in, we were immediately surprised by the clientele. The restaurant appeared to be a business center, with most of the tables surrounded by men and women in suits. But, we nonetheless found a table and were seated promptly. We both ordered the tasting menu, which was a very good choice. Every single course we ate shattered the stereotype of Danish food; it was tasty, fresh, and had great presentation. However, I did not like the bacon + mushroom side for the tarteletter as much because it was a little heavy. It was still good, but the salty bacon accentuated the heaviness, so we were unable to finish it. I'd definitely recommend a visit for lunch or dinner; or any other time, for that matter. Our servers were very kind and attentive, and empty dishes disappeared quickly.

The smørrebrød and herring were so fantastic that we returned during one weekend’s stay. Everything was delectable and the service delightful. My mother’s herring was never so good, and she certainly didn’t serve it with an aquavit pairing

An incredible dining experience at Restaurant Møntergade! Every flavour was spot on from the first bite of perfectly crafted Smørrebrød to the last spoonful of classic Danish Æblekage. Authentic, delicious, and beautifully presented — highly recommend!

Lovely restaurant and absolutely delicious stunning food. We came here as it is Michelin recommended and definitely did not disappoint in food. Where I think it lacked was in somewhat slow service and that they discretely charge you for water otherwise impeccable. Service was professional however it took a while to clear plates from table after being done and in between courses.

Lovely dinner experience at Montergade! We were able to book a day in advance for our group for dinner. The food is simple but amazing, with different flavours. Totally understand why this place is featured as Michelin Bib Gourmand. They also offer daily specials on their blackboard, so remember to check them out. Highly recommend the baked cod, risotto with glazed pork cheek + truffle, and seared mullet. The baked cod especially tasted delish, with potato soup underneath a perfectly soft and buttery piece of cod. (according to others) this place offers the authentic Danish dining experience.

Traditional, authentic Danish food and even better service! I decided to try the classic smørrebrød. I didn’t have a reservation, but it was lunchtime, and a few spots were still available. I still recommend making a reservation, though. They offered me a seat outside, which was great. The egg on the curry herring smørrebrød was fantastic, and the herring itself was incredibly fresh and flavorful. I was even more impressed with the fried plaice with shrimps. The shrimps were delicious, and the plaice was perfectly cooked. This place is known for offering authentic food, and the quality truly lives up to its reputation. It might be a bit pricey, and while I was recommended to order two smørrebrød (the bread with toppings), I think one would have been enough. You get free fresh water, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place. Thank you, Restaurant Møntegade!

So why only three? Well, price doesn't match overall, and there are quite a few alternatives offering the famous DK smørrebrød in walking distance. We had hønsesalat & roastbeef (my company) and some moinyed w shrimps and mayo, and the targeted on rye (smørrebrød, you get it?). I found my servings absolutely delicious only too much - actually way too much - mayo om the fish, and so I had to scrape it off ...(!!) - for a 200DKK sandwich you don't scrape of anything. The beef was excellent and since the staff didn't care to present anything but "everything okay?", I never realised the cut, breed or where it came from. Qualified guess would be Himmerland, Angus, and upper leg, maybe Picanha. Bottom line is, it was excellent. Conclusion is, that I'm somewhat divided and if you want to spend this is definitely the place to go to get smørrebrød.

I had a good lunch set here, there are *Curry herring with cress, onion, capers and egg Spicy herring with chili, caper and mayonnaise *Filet of plaice with remoulade and lemon Crayfish salad with celeriac and apples on toast *Braised breast of pork with corn, cabbages and balsamico Tartelet with chicken and summer greens *Apple crumble with whipped cream My favorite menu is the tartelet with chicken and summer greens.
