Seaside Toldboden

For me this eatery is ok. Food was not so special. The ambience is normal when you are eating at the harbor! The only thing that caught my eye was the Royal Yacht was still there.

It’s a wonderful place to have brunch on a sunny day. You can see the Royal yacht, the harbour and the atmosphere is vibrant. The best of seaside is their service. Every single waiter and staff member who tended to our table was extremely kind, extremely helpful, and upbeat. Management (Jesper and Amanda) helped me to organize a clients’ birthday brunch and delivered an outstanding service and care. Great selection of different kinds of food including gluten-free options.

I didn't realize my fish would have a face and bones, but the flat fish was still very tasty and moist. There was, however, very little meat so grab a few small plates, to share. The fried calamari was fresh and tasty with a nice aioli sauce Our drinks were great, too, I got an espresso martini! We went at 6pm on a Sunday and there was no line and the three of us were seated immediately. By the time we left,7:15, it was packed.

My wife and I were treated to lunch by a dear friend whom we haven't seen in a few years. We had a bunch of small plates, and we shared. The food, service, atmosphere, and scenery were breathtaking. I think this is our new favorite place. I especially love the fact that I when approached the chef in one of the kitchens. He was appreciative of my compliments.

A very nice place but the food is nothing special - I was imagining the tastes of the fresh sea food coming here, instead got an octopus covered with mayonnaise to the degree you cannot even taste the octopus. Service is a disaster, impossible to get the attention of the personnel. Oysters were good

Fun place with street food concept and food from around the world. Great wine list. Superb view of the harbour and Dannebrog (the royal chip). A must in Copenhagen. A total vibe with outdoor seating

A fab place with different kitchens to choose from. Our waitress was kind, efficient and polite, but lacked knowledge on the wines. Especially considering the prices of this place. The food was mostly good and tasty, yet the steak salad was dressed too sour.

Great place. Delicious food. Sometimes when it is really crowded you have to wait a long time for the food but the food is great (when arrives to the table). And make sure to take a look of the check before paying

This spot had views. If you are interested in the ambiance of the a spot check this one out for sure. This spot is similar to food halls in the US. So there are different stalls and each stall has its own offering. During this era of covid, we quickly found a table, scanned the QR code to order but it was a bit confusing when we first got there as we weren't sure what the protocol was. A wait staff eventually came to our table and explained how to order. We ordered from a Japanese place and got seasoned fries. They were good but not spectacular. However, the view was pretty amazing. We were seated indoors but could imagine on a nice sunny day being outdoors and enjoying the sun and the close proximity to the harbor.

Visited Toldboden on constitution day (june 5, 2020) only to discover that the new (?) owners have downgraded the food quality and waiters and increased the prices. Not a desirable combo... The view is still amazing though, but don't have high hopes for a culinary experience. Actually I would recommend to go to the Løgismose store next door, buy a quality bottle of wine and some tapas and snacks and seat yourself on the chairs/benches next to Toldboden. Then you get great wine, food, view and ambience without being robbed.

Who would have guessed that close to the little mermaid is a very touristy spot to have a quick bite. Don't get mw wrong, it is not bad and the staff is super nice, but it is average, high prices food (for the value), wrapped into a fancy laid back atmosphere. You get what you order but the food is not that special. Our dishes ( Fish and chips, fish pie, lobster hotdog and spare ribs) helped us to get rid of our hunger but we did not grave for more. I can recommend it for a stop to close that whole in your stomach, but Copenhagen has much better places to offer.

The absolute BEST fish and chips I've ever tried. It is expensive but worth it. You get a full plate of food and is very fulfilling. My friend and I are in awe and now have very high standards for fish and chips. I also had the Chardonnay they recommend with the plate and it was delicious. The service is great with the employees very nice and helpful. The area is beautiful and the decor is nice. I could go on and on about how much I enjoy this restaurant but I think you should stop reading this and go grab a drink or a meal or both right now!!!! 11/10 All in all great in all aspects including food, drinks, service, location, etc.

We had reservations for a party of 10. Orders are placed on your iPhone but at our table the waiter took some orders and some were by phone. Some dinners arrived but after 2 hours 3 dinners hadn't been served. we spoke with the waiter and manager. The staff is not trained at all. We never once got an apology nor were comped anything! its a fun place but none of us will return.

Toldboden is an amazing spot for sunny days and vino/beer. The atmospheres is sophisticated yet relaxed and the food and drinks complimentory. Located right on the pier overviewing the Operahouse, the Royal Ship, Old Danish military ships and other cool sights. Food is quite good although their portions are small yet tasty. Tonight, I had the pleasure of having the lobster, in the late afternoon sun with a glas of Austrian white. Pure bliss. Only minus was the lack of the right cutlery for eating lobster. I survived though;) PS. The place is Dog-Friendly.

Expensive mediocre food. The waiter put the previous customers bill on mine and could not refund back to credit card. Does not look like the owner treats its staff well.

I really enjoyed the food here. I got a shrimp Po'boy. Being a Cajun from Louisiana I was excited to try this Danish spin on a Cajun meal. It was good. I also enjoyed the ambiance. I sat outside and watched the people come and go and listened to the music. The bartender was great, suggested a Mojito which was really good. They do this weird thing where they slap the mint to make the Mojito. The only reason I did not give this place a 5 star rating is because the food is VERY slow to come. After I ordered they gave me a pager and I went and checked on my food after 20 min. The guy pushing the food out told me the food take a minimum of 30 minutes to come out. I finally got mine after waiting for 38 minutes after I ordered. If you have time and don't mind the wait, it's a great place.

Cool place and has potential to be better as the location and views are amazing . However , the ordering system in your phone is clunky and is quite difficult to get bar drinks as you aren't really assigned a waitress. Good comes out when it is ready - doesn't make a difference if you get your meal first then your entree. This causes problems as your dining partners will be done with their meals as you're waiting for yours.

Severely over-hyped and over-priced. A real shame when this could be such a Xanadu. The location is perfect. Wedged between the swankiest part of downtown CPH, the harbor, and one of the most-covetted parks in town. You can feel the expectation levels rise as you close in on the place, it looks amazing! A lot of people will enjoy sitting in the generous outside area, just for the aesthetics of it. And if you make do with coffee, wine or cocktails, you'd probably be quite satisfied. The first time I was here with friends, we sat outside. We ordered and paid for our food at the bar, and took the little electronic keeper back to the table. When it lit up and beeped, we went to get our food, and when we were visibly confused about a missing platter, one of the chefs barked angrily that it was on its way. There went one star. Four women, four different dishes - none of us were quite satisfied, and one was even still so hungry after her meal that she ordered another one. That's just sad, considering the price. The food was okay, but nothing to write home about. Flash forward some months, I swing by with my family on a sunny weekend day. It's cool out, so we go inside. The brunch looks nice but super pricey, so we go for 2x shrimp po' boys, 1x fish n chips, and a vegetarian platter for my 12 yr. old vegetarian. We have one drink each, and the total is more than if we went out for dinner at our favorite Thai. Ouch. We find a spot to sit, which is nice and has a view, but the acoustics are terrible and we can hardly hear each other without shouting. That's another star. The fried shrimp in the po' boys is still raw despite having been battered and fried. It's tasty enough, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to be raw or cooked through with makes the experience a little exciting. Luckily there are no adverse reactions later in the day. There are fries and a lot of fresh greens to go with it. And a mango sauce which is tasty but doesn't quite match the rest of the platter. The fish and chips are good, and plentiful! My eldest son is happy and can't finish it. The vegetarian is forlorn. He's only 12, and very adamant about not eating animals or fish, and this platter was the only option for him. It's pretty scandalous. The price was 110kr I think, and all he got was fries, mushed peas, and the same greens as the rest of us. The greens have been washed, but they're not prepared in any way, so it's basically raw radishes with stalks, slices of raw striped beets, dill, kale and the like. No dressing or anything. It looked like the food we feed the neighbor's rabbit when they're out of town. That was it. Toldboden must learn to do better for vegetarians. That was the third star to go. TL;DR: Toldboden is fine for outdoors coffee/drinks. Inside acoustics are awful, the food looks pretty but it's terribly hit and miss with no good vegetarian options. Big spenders will probably enjoy the brunch if they employ headsets to communicate for the duration.

Awful food with poor service and very overpriced. Charged us for tap water ?! Don't recommend

We stumbled upon this amazing restaurant/bar/beergarden after a day of walking around Norrebro and Nyhavn and it couldn't been more perfect. Buzzing with people on a sunny Friday evening, Toldboden looked most inviting, with long benches outside, a DJ whipping up tunes and happy mainly Danish people just out of the office ringing in the weekend. You can reserve a table for the restaurant part but not for outside, so just show up and hope for the best. It is rather sophisticated but it's Copenhagen after all. You order your food and drinks for the beergarden at the bar, pay, get a buzzer and when your food is ready you head back in and collect it. This works really well and the queues aren't too long. Like everywhere else, you can pay by card. We got some white wine and beer, fish and chips and fresh prawns with a couple of dips. Everything was so fresh and tasty. If you find yourself in Copenhagen on a sunny day, go and check this place out.

This is a very casual restaurant. Good for brunch. Closed to the mermaid.

Offering a lot more than breakfast and fish and chips, this waterfront spot is a great place to meet friends and colleagues in the afternoon. There are two bars that can cater to both indoor and outdoor seating. The wine and beer lists are extensive, and there is some good food to order but the fish and chips do look good, We got lucky as there was a gratis rosy wine sample going on when we arrive, which sort of cannibalized their normal bar program. Lots of good people watching here and an even better opportunity to soak up some local culture, so be sure and stop by if you are on a seashore walk and pass by. By the way, the famed Little Mermaid sculpture in honor of Hans Christian Andersen is just down the walking road so grab a drink and have your buzz ready when you visit the small yet touristy sculpture. Say cheese!

Great brunch but a bit pricey for the few amount of dishes to choose from. Some dishes in the brunch was really good, I particularly liked the sausage with chili mayo sauce. Many of the dishes felt warm and not dry as can be the case in some brunches. The pancakes and waffles were the only food disappointing me (they were cold, dry and were not made on demand) It's really a good brunch with some dessert options - the ice cream had melted and tasted synthetically but the other options were tasty. To give it a higher grade would require a larger variety on the dishes, more dessert options to choose from and better pancakes (would rather make them myself). Kind staff and good service level.

If I hadn't eaten, I'd probably give 5 stars. They really have a nerve to serve same fried chips as in McDonald's for these prices. 210kr for 250g of fried cod, pre-cooked chips, some stripes of vegetables (carrot and celery) and a little cup of some green dip. Also ordered the Fish-cakes (another scam) that didn't really taste like fish. Oh... no waiters!!! Rather that this, the place is fantastic and on a perfect location. Drinks are slightly prissy, but nothing unexpected for CPH.

Great place for large group of people to hang :) The food was average but the ambiance was exceptional. We had such a good time here, whether it be wrapping ourselves with blankets in the wind or dancing with live music with strangers. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

So I guess I won't be too objective on this review cause I visited toldboden in names of fashion week, but here it goes! Awesomeness on every aspect! 4 stars just because the club turned into a sauna after a while and dancing became very hard (or at least a very sweaty thing to do)!! So we were there for the closing party of fashion week. They had turned this into a club and there were four large bars and lots of good looking people. I haven't seen such a fancy crowd in Copenhagen ever again! It was quite expensive as expected and there was not much choice. It was beer (50dkk), spirits (for 100dkk) and then bottles of champaign or spirits and if I remember right it was sth like 1000dkk. Anyway, I am planning to go to a regular day to eat or have a coffee there as it seemed like a great, spacious and nicely designed place. I am a bit sad I hadn't really heard about it before this. Seems like it's not very known to the crowd. When I visit again I will rewrite my review, a review of the regular day.

We were here for a large (70+ people) Sunday brunch. It was a beautiful, sunny day (you know how rare these are in Copenhagen!) and everyone was out have a great time, watching the boats go by in addition to great people watching. The brunch had a very large selection, from salads and meats, pastas, pancakes, fish, fresh rye breads, beverages of all kinds and desserts. Danish/International theme. As a buffet style setup you are free to take what you want, no waiting, with seating at long communal tables which were perfect for our large group. I would say the quality of the food was significantly above average for any type of buffet that I have had, only surpassed by the salad buffet at Fogo de Chao (Brazilian churrascaria).

One of my favorite places to people watch and enjoy the boat traffic on the canal. Toldboden offers good cocktails and cold wine, beer. A perfect place to soak up the sun with a cold beverage on a sunny day. Long tables for groups or loungers near the water. House music chill by a DJ weekend evenings. Upscale crowd, but casual enough. Fish and chips are good if spendy. Big brunch on weekends.

I love the location of the place, I came with my coworkers who all ordered fish and chips. I wasn't too hungry so I just got frites with remoulade. Holy crap are the portions huge for 40 kr! I couldn't even finish it, it was like a plate full of endless fries. I love how close it is to kastellet and its nice to just sit outside and have a drink or two with your fries. They should offer more of a selection besides fish and chips..

The food was mediocre and overpriced tourist fare. The homemade smoked salmon was good, but not worth the wait or the price. The carrot juice was interesting and the bathrooms were nice and clean. I would only eat here in a starvation emergency.

Great brunch (when there manage to refill), and awesome location, but don't expect good service. You have to pay before you sit (ok, everyone is different), but I guess that's their way of getting your money and...yeah, getting your money.

I will give this place 1 star for it's atmosphere. It gets 1 star for the food. 1 star for its prices. It looses 1 star because the staff never ever smiles. And it looses 1 star because the waiters are so slow.

Excellent brunch. An all you can eat, fixed price buffet with large open plan seating and nice views of the water. Would recommend

I ordered the squid and I must say that was good. The squid itself was nicely cooked and the fries that came with it as well although they did resemble something you could order at McDonald's. However my grandmother discovered that the decorative beet leaves on our plates (complete with roots) had not been washed and had bugs and rocks. In addition, the salad had lettuce obviously eaten by bugs. At the prices they charge this should not happen. They seem severely understaffed. To top it off, the reclaimed wood table very nearly gave my a splinter under my nail and had loose broken glass in a hole in it. However aside from this, the decorations are lovely and the view is amazing.
