Cafe Rabes Have

One of my favs restaurant in Copenhagen! Very authentic and represents the danish cuisine well absolutely recommend!

Old School Danish 'smørrebrød'. Well made classics. The place is sort of a hidden gem and definitely well worth a visit.

Ever heard of Christiania❓ It's a place in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 that has a "different" lifestyle.. And that's the least you can say! 😅 They like calling themselves Freetown cause they consider they're independent. I don't know their history very well and I'm not sure they're independent in any way but that's a peculiar, alternative place for sure. 😅 It's even more peculiar because it's located on the same island-ish as the Opera and Noma, and in front of the Arkitektur Center. That's a weird mix. 🤔 On the other side of the island, there's a neighborhood called Christianshavn, full of canals, houseboats and cafes. So bougie and hippies basically share the same island. 👏 Crazy. On our way to Christiania, we stopped for lunch at the most authentic place we could find in Christianshavn: Cafe Rabes Have. If I could picture a typical restaurant in Denmark, that would be it. If I could picture the typical server in Denmark, now that I spent a few days there, that would also be the waitress who attended us: initially very rude, she wouldn't accept us because we were a too big party, but then she found a spot and was even nice to the kids. 🤷 Overall, the food was good (except the brisket that basically was some boiled meat), especially the plaice. And, again, that looked so typical. 👍 Now the plates were really small and we didn't eat enough with 1 course each (2 wouldn't be enough either, I'm afraid) for DKK125 (€17). Basically that was just a snack so that was expensive. Is there a traditional place with normal prices in this city?! 😓 I really have mixed feelings about that experience: we had fun, I'm sure we had a typical experience, the food was good, but nothing was great, the server was rude (sometimes) and there was not enough food. . . . Quality & taste: 7/10 Quantities: 5/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Originality: 7/10 Ratio price / quality: 7/10 Service: 5/10 How I felt afterwards: 6/10

Everything was great! Delicious food tasting like home made, prepared with attention. Relaxed atmosphere outdoors. Interesting coffee.

It is a warm and cozy place serving traditional dishes. We had smoked salmon with spinach and roasted beef with potato salad, both served with rye bread. Not outstanding, but comforting. Will visit again if chances arise.
