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 🌞

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.
