Restaurant Recommendations #7: The Organic Lab

kat.marlyJeg anbefaler RestauranterLeave a Comment on Restaurant Recommendations #7: The Organic Lab

In a little place on Store Kongensgade in Copenhagen is an all vegan and vegetarian restaurant that happens to be glutenfree as well. It is so little you might not notice when racing by on your bike. The place is driven by a passionated owner, presenting every delivered meal. On the menu there is not that many possibilities, but the few dishes there is, is perfectly made. Delicious. And if you like me avoid gluten or milk, it is not the place where you have to think twice about what to choose. I have still the pleasure to try gourmet food, but this is honestly what I imagined it would be like. And despite the place being vegan I did not miss meat at any point of the evening. I actually quite enjoyed being able to eat anything of the menu! Despite this being evident as it is a vegan place – I asked about the milk and gluten to be sure.

All in all, everything was a good experience and the dishes did look like a piece of art in themselves, but the waiting was quite long. It is not the place to go if you are hangry or on your way there. Actually that would be a shame for the food served as well as for you. The food is not something you just swallow down. It is to be enjoyed together with a good friend or on a date. I would not mind if a date took me here. Another perspective is, that it is a quite expensive place. One main dish cost above 150 kr alone. But this does not hinder me from returning. This place is somewhere you go to treat yourself and a friend. Not in order to have a regular dinner.

So, if you want to pamper your partner, this is the place to go! Ask the waiter/owner about the menu or wine and he will know everything! I mean it: He knows everything!

Restaurant Recommendations #6: Café Kaf

kat.marlyJeg anbefaler RestauranterLeave a Comment on Restaurant Recommendations #6: Café Kaf

The small basement based, yet warm and cozy café placed in Copenhagen N offers a great variety of different things to those of us who either eat vegan, vegetarian or glutenfree. Personally, I have been looking for a place where I could go and treat myself with cake that was glutenfree and milkfree. Kind of a demanding request – I know! Cake is often only glutenfree, because diary free cake isn’t the easiest thing to make if you aren’t used to it. But this Vegan/vegetarian place is definitely an exception. I have tried different cake’s and have not yet left the place disappointed. Often when they post a new glutenfree, diary free variation to a cake on instagram, I jump on my bike and race down there just in order to try it out.

The place is “hyggelig” as we say in Danish. I love it’s old fashion style in furniture and porcelain. How you can sit for hours just working, eating cake and drinking the. The staff is often friendly and always able to give different recommendations or answer any allergene question one may have. The café also have a possibility making some lunch menus glutenfree. But the cakes is most definitely worth a trip to the café.

Restaurant Recommendation #5: Café GLAD

kat.marlyJeg anbefaler RestauranterLeave a Comment on Restaurant Recommendation #5: Café GLAD

In the beginning of my glutenfree, milkfree lifestyle it was difficult for me to figure out where to eat when eating out. I hated being one of those women asking about gluten and milk – because I always considered it ridiculous. But feeling my body change, the sudden ability to exercise and run long distances made me aware of the fact that my body cannot eat gluten and diary products. One day I visited a cafe in Aarhus called Cafe Glad (Café Happy) with my cousin.

It was the only cafe I knew about in Aarhus that could be a place for me. They did not have much glutenfree on the menu, but their sandwiches – Oh MY! Love! Joy! Happiness! (Maybe you have realised by now, that you win my heart by serving me delicious food!). Again, as the previous recommendations, it is on the expensive side, but the food is delicious and therefore, worth it. The vibe in the cafe is cozy and hyggelig. Down to earth. And I love that. You can also just buy the food and take it to go.

Café Glad is a good opportunity for lunch and brunch opportunity and worth a visit.

Restaurant Recommendation #4: Mackie’s, Aarhus

kat.marlyJeg anbefaler RestauranterLeave a Comment on Restaurant Recommendation #4: Mackie’s, Aarhus

The first time I went to this restaurant was in the early days of my Aarhus time. At first, I loved their burgers and fries. But when I went gluten- and milkfree, this also became my favourite pizza place in Denmark. Their glutenfree pizza’s are to die for and always with tons of fillings on top despite ordering them without cheese. When you go have pizza anywhere else, I find that glutenfree options, fillings on top are often spared and scares. But at Mackie’s you really don’t have that problem. And, I was full after one pizza and I’ve eaten here almost every time I’m in Aarhus. They also serve other Glutenfree options in the restaurant.

The atmosphere is really cool with no place on the wall left empty. Souvenirs, shirts and many many other things adorn the walls which fills the restaurant with tons of color and life. And, you can actually hear one another speak and enjoy each others company.

On the flip side, you cannot eat with cutlery for your pizza. So it is with the sausages you call fingers you eat. Actually, some people have even been kicked out of the restaurant for asking. It sounds dramatic, and I find it a bit over the top, but with that being said, the staff is really friendly and are good at making sure, you know you won’t get a knife and a fork. Which doesn’t really matter to me! When ordering burgers and such you are of course given knife and fork – it is only when eating pizza.

This restaurant is definitely a place worth visiting when you find yourself in Aarhus anyway. Especially since Aarhus is the new city of culture in 2017

Restaurant Recommendation #3: 42 Raw, Copenhagen

kat.marlyJeg anbefaler RestauranterLeave a Comment on Restaurant Recommendation #3: 42 Raw, Copenhagen

Denne organske, plantebaserede restaurant er et af de få steder hvor jeg føler mig helt normal. Restauranten er på den dyre side (hvilket alle restauranter er, når man bevæger sig ind på allergene-området, ville jeg mene). Men deres forskellige muligheder både til frokosten og aftensmaden er fantastiske. Deres sandwiches eminente og deres “taste of cheese” er virkelig lækker.

Restaurant-Recommendation #1: Hard Rock Café, Copenhagen Denmark

kat.marlyJeg anbefaler RestauranterLeave a Comment on Restaurant-Recommendation #1: Hard Rock Café, Copenhagen Denmark

The first time I had to eat out in Copenhagen, I went for the easiest and the most spoken about online regarding dinner-options in Copenhagen. Hard Rock Café was one of them. At first I was a bit sceptic, but felt in really good hands with the crew and the waiters / waitresses. They all kept taps about my specific needs, the minute I required a glutenfree and milkfree option. A guy came down with a major book containing every meal in the restaurant and its ingredients. Thus, I was given the best option possible that fitted my specific needs.

I had their burger and despite it being a little dry due to the lack of cheese it was good and delicious. The glutenfree bread in their burgers are delicious and really good. So, it is definitely worth a try. The atmosphere is cozy and cool, however, sometimes it can be a bit loud when a lot people are going out for dinner. The waiters and waitresses are all very nice, greats you with a smile and makes sure you feel like being in good hands. They never take anything for granted and makes sure to follow up on things, if there is any part of the menu they are not sure about in accordance to allergenes.

For that alone, Hard Rock Café is worth a try.
