Things to do in Hellerup
1. Restaurant Krebsegaarden

Reviewed By Vikki L - Leeds, United Kingdom
This was by far our favourite meal whilst visiting Copenhagen. Go for the full 5 tasting courses with paired wine, you won’t be disappointed! Every course was delicious and what really made it special was the service. Our waiter was wonderful, very passionate and knowledgable and even gave us a big hug as we left. This makes it into my top 5 meals of all time! Make sure you book in advance as plenty of people were turned away whilst we were dining! No real surprise that they’re fully booked, everything was so delicious. The veal in particular was incredible, thank you Krebsegaarden!

More sophisticated than some in the city. Appeals to more comfort and less edgy M star fans. Loved the food, service, and wine recommendations.

Reviewed By ConradoSY - Buenos Aires, Argentina
This is essentially a take-away restaurant. It is a small place with only two tables outside. The pizza cooked by two Italians is excellent (Vegetariana, for example, is great!). 38 different pizzas to choose. They also have pasta “al forno” (lasagne, cannelloni, tortellini, etc), sandwiches and salads. Prices are correct (pizza from 54 to 70 DKK). If you order there the waiting time for a pizza is around 8’. Highly recommended.

Great Scandinavian food, good service and reasonable prices. If you are not bother to have a meal at a Pub, you will like this very local and popular place.

Welcome at The Red Box, a modern asian-french fusion restaurant in the heart of Copenhagen with a fashionable situation and a very warm and smiling atmosphere and service. The menus are based on a healty edition of the classic french bistro cuisine with a twist of South-East Asian spices and vegetables. The concept of The Red Box is similar to the best fusion restaurants in New York or San Francisco, reviewers tell us...Our courses are based on the most fresh vegetables, seafood, fish and meat at the market - some of them even organic - and we also are happy to serve you a vegetarian meal.

Superb food and service, as well as excellent value for money.
Nice atmosphere, also attentive and forthcoming waiters throughout the meal.
We started off with two nice appertizers on the house, followed by the "Five from China" for starters, recommended by our host. Reading a review complaining about this starter being flat and uninteresting can only be down to extremely bad luck or paralyzed taste buds. It was the perfect start, with a truly nice variation of flavours, texture and tastes. The mussels topped the five dishes off accompanied by a perfect sauce of lime, ginger, honey and orange.
Next off we had fish of the day, and beef tenderloin with black pepper sauce for mains. Both perfect in taste and texture, and the tenderloin cooked just right for a medium rare.
For desserts we had "From the red box", three different desserts: ice cream with licorice and salt flakes, chocolate cake and ginger creme brulee. The perfect finale to our meal.
Not least, the waiter recommended superb wine pairing for the meal.
This was by far the best meal on our Copenhagen visit. Strongly recommended!

7. The Coffee Collective

Reviewed By Zoey O - London, United Kingdom
Whist wandering around Copenhagen, we stumbled across this vibrant little food market called Torvehallerne. Inside they had quirky food stalls and coffee shops. It smelt amazing in there!
Anyway, we came across The Collective Coffee, a trendy little coffee corner that caught my eye. They filtered their coffee in a really unusual way, using these weird metal and glass filter tubes. And being a sucker for beautifully designed packaging, I wanted my cappuccino in one of those cool geometric plastic cups, saddo I know. But honestly, this was one of the best cappuccino’s I’ve ever had and it’s a great spot for people watching!
8. Geranium

Reviewed By meuricemaison - Canada
Having progressively won the Bocuse d'Or over the years (from Bronze to Silver and finally Gold), this showcases a progressive Chef who constantly questions and pushes the boundaries of Danish gastronomy. A little far from the city center, it is in an office-like building. The space is amazing with an open kitchen displaying Chefs plating the food. Perhaps a little too friendly service (when they start asking you what you do for work, it gets a little invasive), they often forgot our table with our wine or even the cheque. The food was different; a little too progressive to a point that you would miss the lamb if you didn't know it was really the main course. However as the only 3 star restaurant in Geranium, it is worth the detour. If anything, it is about the experience.

Reviewed By Jes G - Copenhagen, Denmark
Great location, average-good restaurant, kind but slow service, we waited 45 minutes before our first serving arrived.
First was cold pea soup with a single scallop, it was very nice.
Second: Light smoked mackerel served at an alarming temperature. I was a little worried with this. It was an unsuccessful combination of sweet and sour impressions.
Third: Young cattle with asparagus, potatoes and a light red wine sauce. Good but not fantastic.
Fourth: A weird combination of cheese, salad and crunch. Not bad itself but didn't work well in the combination of the other servings.
Fifth and finally a success: A lovely combination of chocolate mousse, strawberries, sponge cake and lemon sorbet. It was really good.

Reviewed By Stifter - Walsrode, Germany
Very old-school danish restaurant, a cozy old-fashioned setting with the traditional dishes on the menu - so go somewhere else if you are into vegan food, or fancy fusion cuisine.
If, on the other hand you want "honest" smörrebröd for lunch; roastbeef or pork belly for dinner; and can enjoy your coffee brewed rather than crafted, foamed and infused with syrupy flavour, then you have found the right place!
I went for lunch, and must admit I was disappointed with my pickled curry herring and "dyrlägens natmad" - it was in no way bad, but did have an "industrial appearance". The roastbeef and fish enjoyed by me fellow eaters looked substantially better.
There is free parking behind the restaurant - and if you want an akvavit or two (and I would certainly recommend that) the train station is only a two minute walk.
All in all, a nice place with great service and value for money. I'll be back.
