Sokkelund Cafe & Brasserie

The steak was of suboptimal quality, containing excessive connective tissue and unrendered fat. The prevalence of gristle and sinew significantly compromised the texture, resulting in a chewy and unpleasant eating experience.

Sokkelund Café & Brasserie is a cozy spot in Frederiksberg with great food, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere. Perfect for brunch or a relaxed dinner. Highly recommend ✨

Their brilliant sauce brought a unique character to the fish - Loved it!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Sokkelund. The food was incredibly tasty, especially the oysters, white asparagus, and mules paired with German wine. A big plus was their pet-friendly policy, allowing us to bring our little dog with us. The ambiance was great too. Highly recommended!

Amazing service! and allergy friendly They have the best gluten free bun I had in a while. Staff was nice, kind and, understanding. I enjoyed their food too - tasty steak and they great soap / when you go to their bathroom, it had a nice scent that actually makes you feel in a different time - it was an amazing experience

Ordered Eggs Florentine and had the original english version in mind. It was my mistake that I didn't read the menu, but I just ordered the same as the person I was with, as I would have seen the additional mushrooms. I usually like the addition of shrooms, but to be honest, it didn't, in my opinion, complement the dish. It also, sorry, lacked some flavour, I thought. Regarding service and atmosphere, it's rather standard. There's nothing to complain about, nor to remember.

On the whole, a tad more expensive than other smørrebrød. But then, also of higher quality - dressed and plated beautifully, and also great ingredients. I had the roast beef (DKK155) and my friend had the pan-fried fish (DKK145). The menu recommends 2-3 per person but I was honestly so full after one, I wouldn’t have been able to eat another! Service was excellent and attentive. I think you just have to pick your moment - it’s not the place for a quick and easy lunch, but rather somewhere you’ll linger and chat for hours.

What a place! Lovely interior and nice buzz. Tasty parisian steak

Cozy with a wide array of standard brunch items. Pricy for brunch, although we all liked what we ordered. Pot of tea came with a timer so that it is brewed perfectly; a nice touch!

Delicious food and excellent service. I ordered the beet salad (entree size) with grilled chicken. It was unique, fresh and very tasty. I was filled up before I could finish my meal. Probably should have ordered the starter size salad. My niece had the Sokkelund salad with chicken and she loved it. Lots of yummy veggies and she really liked the salad dressing. Great restaurant.

A personal THANK YOU to the wait staff at Sokkelund Cafe & Brasserie for being so accommodating and welcoming and helpful, when I arrived for my first visit in an electric wheelchair. There is a step UP to the restaurant; but two guys lifted my wheelchair inside, while my son helped me up the step! Tables were adjusted, so I could sit comfortably, and all was done with a smile and a friendly word! Thank you all for making my "maiden voyage" a memorable experience! :-) Kirsten P.

Love Sokkelund - it's a really nice place for lunch and meetings.. Went here to work one day, and ended up staying there for 2 meetings, lunch and coffee.. I had the seal salad - really delicious!! Service is great - and the place is a little "upper class".. I like it a lot!

Wow what a great brunch! I decided to treat myself to a good brunch and opted to try out Sokkelund and am so happy I did. I got the 'Den Lette' brunch which included: Yoghurt w/fresh berries and maple syrup, Scrambled eggs w grilled pancetta, Tomato salad, Salmon with Danish smoked cheese cream. 2 cheeses served with olives, Pancake with black berry marmalade, two kinds of bread with butter and with a glass of fresh orange juice. Everything was fresh and tasty and the pancake w/blackberry marmalade was outstanding. The yoghurt w/berries and maple syrup was also pretty memorable and I'd definitely go again to try something else. Was perfectly sunny sitting out front and a great way to start off my birthday!

While I'll admit to spending a lot of time criticizing the concept of having a large plate with a small bite of everything for brunch (instead of a large plate of a few things, done solidly - see my review for Manfreds for reference), Sokkelund totally killed it with our brunch yesterday. The eggs were divine, the pancetta was crispy, and overall, the flavors were both magically sweet and delectably savory. The latte was perfect, and though I don't think it merits taking away a star, the orange juice could've been thicker, and without ice cubes. If I'm going to drink OJ, I prefer to chew it (ie, more pulp), but that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, the cafe is filled with all sorts of hygge. Our waitress was delightful, our food came quickly, and I didn't need to eat again for the rest of the day. Will definitely be going back.

We came on a Tuesday afternoon after class and were able to find seats indoors without any trouble. The interior has a nice French wine bar feel to it. I got the hangover brunch which was the perfect sampling of sweet and savory. The Greek yogurt needed some maple syrup added but there was plenty to go around from the pancakes. The burger was perfectly cooked and had a lovely aioli spread paired well with the juicy meat. We both got the beet juice with our meals which I am happy to have tried but wouldn't recommend to drink with your meal. While more expensive, I recommend the hangover brunch over their traditional one with salmon and pork products, which my friend got. Mine felt more like a complete meal. I also had enough leftover for another lunch the next day. The portions are large so come hungry! The service was slow; it reminded me of a true brasserie in France. Come here if you have time to waste in good company. Perhaps it will cure your hangover woes one morning- but no promises.

Another great lunch down the hatch. Burger sublime, Ventoux wine great. Staggered away for less than 4 digits for two. Woof. A carafe of the wine is plenty+ for one, unless you are an alcoholic. Note multiple reflections possible in wall mirrors. Hours of endless fun. Think what you could do with a surreptitious pocket laser.

I just loved eating at Sokkelund. They have the potential for a perfect 5 star review, BUT service is a bit slow, when you compare with the price you pay. I also have some minor details about the food. Mussels are my thing, and here you both can get them for a starter and for a main dish. They are the perfect size about 1.5 inch, and are served in a great sauce. You also get a extra plate for your shells. Wonderful!! You can choose size of your main meat dish. E.g. you can get your ribeye in 250, 375, 2×250 grams. I always go for a steak larger than 300 grams, because it's difficult to get a smaller piece done rare. The fries are good, but not perfect. I love them crisp on the outside and soft inside. Here they all are crisp on the outside, but because of their uneven size some of the fries are just crisp. The bearnaise is wow. Creme brulee is a classic dish, and you can always discuss, if the custard have to be cold or temperate. I'm a cold type, because you get this difference in texture and temperature, when you crush the melted layer of sugar. At Sokkelund the custard is temperated. Brewages are good but also a bit expensive at Sokkelund. You have to pay for quality. Water is free - thumbs up! Sokkelund is a busy place, and you can wait a bit to long for service. It would be okay, if it was a less expensive place to eat. I expect a bit more in this price range.

Each time I passed Sokkelund on the bus (or on one of the aptly named 'GoBikes') on my recent trip to Copenhagen, I gazed wistfully at it, thinking it was some kind of super-chic wine bar that I wouldn't have a chance to visit. So when I was checking my trusty Yelp app for brunch places and saw Sokkelund appear, I didn't bother looking at any further reviews. We sat outside in the sun and enjoyed one of the most excellent brunches I have ever eaten. There was a little of everything on the plate, and everything was delicious. The wait staff were helpful and friendly and as it is clearly a popular weekend spot for locals, there was plenty of people-watching to do.

Reservations were a good idea, judging by the amount of people sitting in here when we arrived a little before 10:30am on a Sunday. Though the hangover brunch looked good, all I really wanted was the burger and fries; it didn't make sense to pay extra for the addition of pancakes and yogurt with muesli. I am a little tired of brunch in general in Copenhagen so I opted for an omelette and my friend got a croque madame. The ham and cheese omelette was HUGE. I'd guess it was made of at least 5 eggs and probably a better portion for two people. Good thing I was really hungry. It was just salty enough and the eggs were fluffy. Tasted nicely of butter, though it came with even more butter and some rye bread on the side; the latter of which was good with lots of rye seeds and sunflower seeds. My friend thoroughly enjoyed his croque madame. It seemed small but was filling. We also ordered the freshly-squeezed orange juice, which we both loved. I wasn't wild about the ice cubes in it but it didn't take too much away from the fresh orange taste. The service was very fast and polite. A lady sitting at the table next to us happened to drop her fork twice and both times our waiter came up with a clean fork in about 30 seconds without being asked. Or maybe she just wanted to look into his dreamy eyes. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because it is a little cramped. I understand they are trying to allow as many guests as possible, but it was a little awkward having a waiter's ass (though it was a nice one) in my face as he's serving the table next to us. Also it was surprisingly loud in there! We almost had to shout at each other over the table.

I was drawn to Sokkelund by its favorable reviews and was sadly very disappointed. The other reviews are correct in that it's expensive, so we expected as much. But, it was the service that really destroyed the experience for us. After being essentially ignored by one waiter, another began "attending" our table (though she barely actually attended it...) and seemed just as annoyed as the first waiter by the task. The food was average at best. Did we have something on our shirts? Did we smell funny? I can't be certain... But, I don't think so. Anyway, I'll always direct friends away from this place in the future.

One of the best cafés in Frederiksberg if not the best. The burger is soooooo good and the chilimayo too. A lot of things to choose from the menu and I've always been satisfied. Only negative thing to say is that it's a bit expensive compared to other cafés, but I think it's worth it. Nice friendly staff too.

Came back with the Yelp Burger Gang for the specific purpose of trying Sokkelundens plain, old-fashioned burger. It's essentially the same as their tartare burger, except for the patty. In my opinion the ingredients make more sense in this context, hence the extra star. Also, since we were going as a group I can now confidently say that the place isn't really suitable for such. I could speak to the three people closest to me, but due to the noise level it was difficult hearing someone two seats down, and further than that you'd have to shout to each other. I suppose it would work for a small group, say, six people tops.

Fantastic! Food and atmosphere are exactly how it should be in a classic brasserie. Will definitely come again.

This is a fancy, pricey French Bistro. For this review I tried: "Sokkelund" Burger & Fries CheeseCake & Creme Brulée Coca Cola (Generic, not reviewed) Total points:16. Result is 3.2 Verdict: A good, safe-choice and very expensive café. You won't be disappointed. But you won't be wowed either (okay, you'll be Wow'ed by their fries, but they heavy price tag for the food evens it out, unfortunately). **The Fries were so exquisite that they've been rated alone** Fries 5/5 - they were ridiculously good, and good fries are very hard to come by in Copenhagen. Double fried (I reckon) and very crispy. They also nailed the homemade aïoli. Their bearnaise was too sweet for my liking. Their serving of Heinz was also relevant, but since I am European, the ketchup went into my burger instead. Burger 3/5 - A good well made burger. Nothing more, nothing less. Meat was well cooked, bun was nice and soft, but the taste was pretty standard for a Burger. Dessert 3/5 - Stunned by the visually very appealing cheesecake, the taste unfortunately didn't follow up. It looked fancy and round, and i like the idea of churned milk mousse on top. The cherry sauce on the side didn't go well and I prefer to have fruits which are in season instead of a all year sauce that reminds me of Ris a'la mande (cough*COST CUTTING*cough). Bertels still make the best cheesecakes on Frederiksberg and for 50% of the price of this. The creme brulée also lacked a lot of flavor, and the other restaurant next door makes a better one (for less money) Atmosphere & Service 3/5 - Efficient service, the french "Quick/arrogant" way. Some like it, Some don't. I don't mind it. However, I do mind when you can't conversate with people at my table, even if it's in the middle of an early dinner rush. This acoustics of this place could be better. Price 2/5. When you demand 179 kr for a Burger, you've gotta nail it. 79 kr for a "standard" dessert also implies a level of taste that they did not meet. Total points of 16. Number of categories: 5 16/5 = 3,2

My absolute favorite spot when I visit my hometown Copenhagen, I just love the mix of the French bistro style that has been jazzed a bit up with elements and dishes from the new Nordic kitchen. All the food I have tried has been in a consistent good quality, a small but good wine list and selection of specialty beers. And not to forget about the friendly staff and quick service. Bonus is info, also not bad for a bit of people watching within the "Les Bobos" segment.

My wife and I had a very good dinner at Sokkelund. The langoustine and white asparagus was excellent and even better, Camillie (?) the lady who served us made our evening memorable. She not only helped us choose the food and drink to our satisfaction but also gave us good tips on how to spend our few days in Copenhagen. Because of her we will probably be back.

The nicest cafe on Frederiksberg indeed. A bit pricey but perfect for a cup of coffee or an early dinner after a good long walk in Frederiksberg having visited the elephants. I recommend sharing the moules frites with a glas of Chardonnay on the side

Sokkelund Cafe & Brasserie looked warm and inviting after a long Saturday of touring round the city so we decided to give it a try. We came around 8:30, we were lucky to get a table for two as it was packed out. The wife had the mussels and I had the steak frites washed down with a Tuborg. It was a little pricey by Danish standards but it was probably the best meal I had in Copenhagen.

Great burgers and moules-frites and you can even get 'bearnaisesauce' for your fries. Cozy place.

Best Cafe in Copenhagen, service and food quality is top notch. I stopped going to other Cafe's, cause I always get disappointed.

A popular French-style brasserie in Frederiksberg, Sokkelund is fairly bustling most nights. Standards on the menu include moules frites, fois gras etc etc, and mains will set you back around 140DKK. Add a bottle of fine Riesling for 275DKK and you'll be looking at a few quid for dinner. The ambience is really nice, but the portions could be a bit more generous. Having said that my dining partner only finished half, so maybe I'm just greedy.

I've been here a few times now for lunch and brunch. I got to say I particularly look forward to brunch here 'not to heavy not to light'. Lots to choose from for lunch or dinner last time I simply had the green asparagus for starters and a steak for mains. The steak was cooked to my liking and I other reviewers have raved about the chips but I found them a little over done. staff have always been pleasant but busy, every time I've been here it's been pretty full and I enjoyed the option of seat outside in the sun. The space is tight between the tables which can't be awkward when getting in and out. Wine list draws from main wine regions of France, Italian and Spain a small but good selection.

Had business lunch at this local brasserie. I did find the menu card a bit confusing with both smorgasbord and French dishes. My shrimp sandwich and tuna salad were ok. Ambience was local and cozy with many families on a weekday. Would I travel to eat there again...no. But if I was a local I would likely be a regular

Great bistro/cafe very close to Frederiksberg park. Food is a class above standard cafe fare in Copenhagen.

A fairly short and simple menu, yet absolutely recommended for good ambiance, good clientele and good food. Definitely worth a visit.
