How to do it

Apple compote

Peel the apple and cut it into small cubes. Put it in a small saucepan with sugar, apple cider vinegar and water.
Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender and mash easily.
Let the compote cool completely, and stir in the capers just before serving.

Horseradish cream

Mix the crème fraîche, freshly grated horseradish, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Whisk until fluffy and season with additional salt, sugar or pepper as needed.
Set aside until ready to serve.

Rye bread crumble

Fry the bacon until crispy in a dry pan, remove and let it drip off.
Finely grate or chop the rye bread and fry it well in the bacon fat until crispy.
Chop or crumble the bacon and mix it with the rye bread. Let the mixture cool.

Serving

The food was cooked to perfection.
The food was cooked to perfection. Best Parisian steak I’ve tasted by far. Plaice fillets fried to melting perfection. The service level is also top class with the finesse of experience and understanding of which table you’re facing. My first visit to Kronborg. The food is fully on par with – and sometimes better than – Palægade or similar. I’m a new regular customer.

I love it so much
They make really good food at reasonable prices, and their staff is probably some of the best you can find in Copenhagen. Professional, friendly and smiling, they are competent and funny but without being too much, in short – they are talented, thank you for that 🌞

Wonderful restaurant
Wonderful restaurant with the most delicious food and fantastic service. Have been there several times and never left disappointed, but instead left Kronborg with a smile on my face and a belly full of the good food. Absolutely the best open sandwiches in town.

It’s someone who knows their snapchat skills who is responsible. The service level is also top class with the finesse of experience and understanding of which table you’re facing.
