Our first visit: food-wise, as close to perfection as one can get and worthy of a star or at least a bib(Michelin) or a toque(Gould millaut) !!! Most unfortunatly, it seems they are trying to make up their reasonable pricing by charging for tap water and an automatic 25% service charge(for a party of 2). That is a downer on an otherwise outstanding experience. Regretable.

I’m going to give this place 5 stars. I’ve been here twice — in a group of 6 and another time I took my boyfriend here for a birthday treat. Both times, we went for the set menu of the day, which consists of four courses plus warm bread that comes with whipped butter and costs about £50 each. The food is locally sourced and uses seasonal ingredients, which are cooked simply with a variety of methods to produce some tasty good grub. The wine selection is great and very interesting. The restaurant itself is very casual and cosy(Danish love cosy). The staff were very knowledgeable about the dishes and offered a friendly service. I would definitely come here again on another special occasion to splash out on the great food and wine!

Great Danish cuisine. Small restaurant with a very friendly feel. It’s not cheap here, so budget accordingly. Knocked off one star as the service was a bit sloppy at times, when it got busy.

On my first night in Copenhagen the boyfriend took me to Pony. I didn’t know anything about the place except for it was hand-picked by my guy. I trust his taste and restaurant choices. Pony exudes romance, cozy with a very minimal and homey feel. Tables have very little space in between them enough to hear what your neighbors’ are saying about certain dishes, or when they arrived and their complaints about Heathrow Airport(LON). I didn’t mind that at all. In fact, cozy and communal is how the Europeans prefer their restaurant vibe. I love it. Makes me miss NYC! The bread and the tower of beautifully whipped butter was unforgettable. The boyfriend and I talked about these two food items for an extended period of time. We even asked for the recipe which they obliged and shared with us. The fresh radish dipped in miso and something else was also delicious! So good, we baked the bread and made the radish dish at home. Pony’s approach to Scandinavian cuisine is so true to the flavors of the ingredients they choose to use. Simple, clean, tasty and a minimal elegance to presentation and plating. Pony should be on everyone’s list when visiting Copenhagen.

Super nice restaurang with great food in the popular nordic style. A bit pricy, but if you are not that hungry you will be fine with two dishes… I had their red wine that they have on a 10 liter bag in box and really liked it!

I had been waiting for a long to come here, and it did not disappoint! I brought a friend of mine here and we were both thoroughly impressed. The dishes are like little pieces of artwork, with an array of flavors! We tried the mussel dish with dill, the salted beef, the lamb dish, and the chicken… each one great in its own right! The waitress was great with pairing the wine, and we ended the meal with a delicious cheese plate. If you are looking for a unique place in the city which reflects new Nordic with exciting dishes and combinations, I highly recommend this place. The only reason why it didn’t get five stars is that although our food was delicious, and out table was right next to the open kitchen, it was right by the door, so I kept getting a draft every time people entered or exited. Otherwise, it was a great evening!

OMG, what a nice, intimate dining experience. Only about 32 seats in the restaurant, it feels like a dinner party with friends. The food is unique, amazing and fun. Things that sounds pedantic, like steamed chicken is anything but! It’s delicious, with bursts of distinct flavors. The veal tartar is OMG, delicious! Who thinks of veal tartar!!! The wait staff is knowledgeable and genuinely friendly. The crowd is a nice mix of beautiful local hipsters and professionals and seasons, low key world travelers.

We had a wonderful experience here. Excellent service and the food was both interesting and delicious. I had the leaks as an appetizer and the fried herring as a main course. Both were excellent in terms of both the preparation and the ingredients. The wine list is more than acceptable given the fact that this is a very small restaurant. So why only four stars? It is because of the extremely limited menu options. If you like what they are serving then you are in luck. If not, your only option is to leave.
