Cafe Europa 1989

The place was nice and cozy. We came in a cold day and although it was very busy inside we managed to find a place. We had hot cocoa and coffee which were exactly what we needed at that moment. Overall: great location, good service, nice atmosphere.

A very good, albeit busy café. Excellent coffees and good cakes — strawberry tart was the best at the table and suits the espresso well!

Great location and with it comes a high price. I had the Amagertov (sausage, bacon, fried egg, potatoes, beans & tomato) and a cappuccino. It was about £20. Service was prompt but seemed a little distant.

Bringing an American girlfriend and her six year old to Copenhagen necessarily means there will be a need for pancakes one or more mornings. Several places offered them, some with better results than others. We found a list of five places in downtown with really good pancakes. Café Europa was one such establishment on that list. Why it was on that list, I have no idea.
First the positive: service was relatively fast and efficient. Not particularly friendly but functional — in other words, standard Danish. When we sent an item back (just one, mind) it was removed from the bill without a word. Yay. But not really.
As for the negative, there were no pancakes. I asked the waiter if they could make pancakes, and he said sure. Cool. But what we wereserved, was one flat pancake folded. Just that. I know it technically met the requirements, but it was abysmal. No syrup. Just a little jar of fermented blackcurrant jam — the six year old wasn’t about it. The brunch we ordered was ridiculously expensive considering what was served. According to the menu it included an omelette. I don’t know where in the world that would constitute an omelette. I had to consult the menu to make sure it was an omelette. I couldn’t taste what it was. The sausage was bland. The skyr with syrup (so they DO have syrup, just not for pancakes?) was decent but how could it not be? There was some cheese and some fruit involved too. It was bland.
The eggs Benedict were somewhat edible, but in honesty I wouldn’t come back for them. Not exactly bad, but just not what they could’ve been. Or what it could have been. It was just one egg.
The item we sent back was the Virgin Mary. Ordered with the request for it to be spicy, it looked like I felt after that brunch: like life just wasn’t worth it anymore. One sip was enough to send it back.
Europa seems to stay alive mostly due to tourists. I don’t know if I was there on a bad day, but I shan’t be back to find out. Price to quality ratio was well below expectancy levels and in a city like Copenhagen, where you can find so many places that do amazing brunches for far less, it’s not worth it just for location.

Good place to have a lunch when being in Copenhagen City center. Typical french cuisine — usually good food :). As the café is well used by everybody in Copenhagen it can sometimes be difficult to find a table and get serviced.

Location, location, location. We had drinks here and sat down on their patio to watch the people go by… there’s nothing else that is special or interesting about this place.

Ein nettes Kaffee direkt in der Fußgängerzone von Kopenhagen. Da das Wetter uns nicht so wohlgesinnt war, sind wir im Lokal gesessen. Die Einrichtung war nicht besonders gemütlich aber das Personal freundlich. Der Kaffee war recht gut und das kleine Kuchenstück war auch ganz in Ordnung.
Aber kein wirkliches Highlight wo ich nochmals hin Mus.

Voilà un lieu où prendre un excellent petit déjeuner sur une sympathique terrasse et pour toutes les heures de la journée la boule à la cannelle est divine

Bön déjeuner et très bons rouleaux à la cannelle. Malheureusement, les prix sont élevés. Le brunch comprend plusieurs petits plats assez bon.

The service in this outside café was disappointing. Our waiter recognized that we were Americans so he reluctantly provided an English version of the menu. Because we are vegetarians, the menu was limited, but we did have some choices. For what we ordered, two salads, two sandwiches, three soft drinks and one beer, we felt the cost of the lunch was outrageous; over $ 100 US.
The location on the square is perfect and in good weather there is fantastic people watching, but the service and price made me give this café only two stars.

Wir saßen an einem sonnigen Tag auf der Terrasse und waren froh einen Platz gefunden zu haben. Das Café profitiert von seiner guten Lage und sieht so aus als wäre es für Touristen das überfüllte und teure Café aber an einem Wochentag waren auch sehr viele einheimische Gäste da. Über die Preise können wir uns nicht beschweren, Dänemark ist teurer als Deutschland und die Lage macht auch die Preise.
Die Bedienung war von vielen Gästen überfordert und entsprechend sehr langsam. Das Mittagessen hatte uns sehr gut geschmeckt und das dunkle Brot mit vielen Nüssen war das beste daran. Portionen waren auch sehr groß.

This is a beautiful café right in the main walking street. However, I only give it 3 stars because it can get incredibly crowded and the service can be a bit slow. However, the upside is it is a great place to hang out if you can get a seat — especially if it is raining or snowing. They offer free newspapers on a rack, the coffee is good and the food selection is pretty quality. Keep this place in mind if you want to meet someone in the city. If you can’t get in here, then there are many other places nearby.

Bien placé et beau. mais dieu que c’est cher!

Nicht ganz so teuer wie das Café Norden gegenüber aber auch nicht ohne. Der Service ist sehr nett und flott und das Frühstück kam bei uns schnell auf den Tisch. Allerdings konnten wir uns nicht erklären, warum Porridge zu dem Berliner Brunch und nicht zu dem Londoner Brunch zugeordnet wurde. Ich kenne leider nicht soviele Berliner die gerne Porridge essen wie Briten. ;-) Aber ansonsten war unser Vormittag im Europa schön und entspannt!

en smulle dyr, men et meget dejligt sted med sit atmosfære og kagerne er virkelige gode!
Man skal helt sidde på den 1. sal, så kan man samtidigt nyde udsigten over torvet.

zielgruppe: der tourist im allgemeinen, dafür geht das schon klar. leckeres frühstück (wenn auch sauteuer und eher spartanisch). zudem wirken alle greifbaren bedienungen ausgesprochen unkonzentriert und überlastet.
kann man machen, wird man aber nicht zweimal besuchen, sobald man die stadt ein wenig kennt.

da sind wir heute zufällig reingestolpert, draussen Regen, drinnen gleich freundliche Atmosphäre. An der Wand über der Bar, verschiedene Barista-​Awards. der goldene siebträger oder so ;-) das kann ja nicht so verehrt sein. das Essn auf de kleien aber sehr stimmigen Karte ist jetzt nicht wirklich billig, aber dann, der Lachs auf dem Europatallerken, eine Offenbarung, lleine dafür lohnt es sich. der Rest war aer auch nicht schlecht, Leberpastete, Parmaschinken, Rindercrpacio, Käse, und noch viel mehr, und dzu ein herrliches dunkles Nussbrot.
Ja, und der Kaffee dann? Naja, gut war er schon, aber jetzt nicht weltklasse :-) aber ich komme wieder.

Brunch is expensive here, costing around 170 kroners, but it is the biggest reason for going here, apart from the great location, and nice ambience.
There are a choice of two brunches, and they include lots of small dishes, ranging from greek yoghurt with honey (amazing) through to croissants, specialised sausages, creamy scrambled egg, french toast with pates, salmon, etc, etc. To be honest I can’t remember everything that is included, but there is a lot more I haven’t mentioned. You get a choice of coffee or a fresh juice or yoghurt shake included with the brunch.
This is definitely one of the best places to experience Copenhagen fine cuisine, and is an ideal visit for any tourist to Copenhagen, as over looking the square, and with a true mix of highly educated Copenhagen city folk around you, it will produce a memorable experience.
