Nyhavnskroen

Really nice experience. Even tho it was very busy, we got a table for 6 very quickly. Staff were super funny and friendly, and recommended nice local dishes and liquors.

Great food, cold beer and cozy atmosphere. Danish cuisine in a tourist area, definitely worth coming.

I had a great dinner at this place!! Staff was friendly and the service was quick. The traditional crispy pork was good, but be aware that it's fried and not cooked. I liked it, but some people might not!!

Overall a good experience. We were seated very quickly and the order was taken right away. The food came out quickly and was tasty. What ultimately was the downfall of the night and the deduction in stars was a large party of 14+ people who brought their own speaker and were quite loud and rowdy. It made it difficult to carry on a conversation and eat after their arrival. The owner did nothing which was quite disappointing as the music was obtrusive to the atmosphere. We ended up going elsewhere down the walkway for more drinks and dessert. I’d return but only if sitting in the inside, which looked very nice.

We didn’t have any food but had very nice warm wine which was served with a couple of cookies and rioja. The staff was friendly and fast. Such a cozy place.

This was a lovely place in Nyhavn to eat a late dinner along the canal. I would recommend making reservations, because even in May this place is packed with tourists and locals. The staff was very helpful and attentive. The food was much better than most tourist spots. We enjoyed a few Aperol Spritz on our heated seats before our food arrived. I forgot to get a picture of their chicken and asparagus tart appetizer that was really quite good. I would recommend it, as it may have been the best dish overall. The crispy pork was tasty but VERY crispy. I like this, but it is not for everyone. It is somewhere between bacon and pork rinds in consistency. It comes with a wonderful sauce to dip it in. We will certainly visit again during any future visits to Copenhagen.

Good portions served, very typical You pay for the ambience and eating waterfront

We had the meatball smorrebrod and the chicken with white asparagus. Delicious!

Yum! Great spot for lunch, to grab food & drinks and watch the crowds go by! We initially stopped for a drink after a canal tour nearby, but after looking at food options, we decided to eat lunch as well. A friend and I both ordered the open face fish sandwich (smørrebrød), and it was delectable. A good portion of fish, a perfect amount of sauce, very delicious. Hubs tried the crispy pork dish, which we had never seen before. It was pretty interesting, large portions very filling. We loved the atmosphere, being right on the canal, watching life happen. This is a touristy spot and with us being tourists made it a great match!

Great cocktails and nice outdoor seating with heaters. Our server was funny but was really pushy with ordering more drinks and when it came time to pay he hovered over us and joked about how much we should tip him which was pretty uncomfortable.

Of the places we tried on Nyhavn, the iconic canal waterfront, I feel like this restaurant actually provides decent food for the asked price. Which is more than can be said for a lot of restaurants in the area. To be fair, this is a SUPER tourist hotspot and the prices of all the eateries lining both sides of the canal reflect that. Their portions are lovingly large, and I would recommend trying their stegt flæsk (Crispy Pork on the English menu), which is apparently Denmark's national dish. Nyhavnskroen is a lovely, little renovated inn turned restaurant that serves classic Danish dishes to cater to the tourists that want to eat while looking over the canal and foot traffic. We were told by our waitress that the building doesn't have air conditioning but sitting next to a window on the second story kept the temperature comfortable. Available seating includes the 1st and 2nd story of the building itself as well as the outside patio, which has a band playing during comfortable evenings. Seating inside and out is pretty intimate, which my dad personally found a bit small. When we were there, it had a very lively atmosphere and the staff was lovely if a bit absent for us, the lone diners on the 2nd floor while everyone else was outside. We were actually steered towards Nyhavnskroen with the recommendation to try their smørrebrøds (open-faced sandwiches), but I didn't seem to be available at the time. I ordered the Crispy Pork, which I later understand was the classic stegt flæsk of crispy pork belly, white potatoes, and a white sauce with parsley. I preferred it with the mustard they provided. The pork belly wasn't so much tough as it was very crunchy, and I initially had to work out how to really get my teeth into it. Once I got the hang of it, I found it pretty tasty. We found the other two dishes we got (the weinerschnitzel and the fried fish fillets) to be okay, but the Crispy Pork/Stegt Flæsk was what we collectively thought to be the most worthwhile. Overall, I would recommend this place if you really want to eat along the Nyhavn. Our entire group had a lovely time there and the building itself is nice in that old, historic way. I think it's a bit pricey, but I also think they're one of the more worthwhile options, having gone to some of the other surrounding eateries later. It was a sweet experience for our first real night in Denmark.

I had a wonderful dining experience here. The restaurant is cute and inviting inside and the food was great. All my friends and I enjoyed dining here.

The food is quite pricey but I enjoyed it nonetheless! One thing that was recommended to me to try in Copenhagen was the smørrebrød (open face sandwiches) so I ordered the trio. It comes with prawn, fish fillet, and pork (but I asked to substitute the prawn with smoked salmon instead, and they happily allowed me to do so). It was absolutely delicious!! They are very generous with their ingredients as well. For example, I got so many pieces of smoked salmon, and it was topped with a big scoop of caviar. And the pork smørrebrød had a very thick slice of meat so it filled me up quite well. Overall it was an excellent meal. I wish it were a little cheaper, but I would not complain about anything else.

We found Nyhavnskroen right in Nyhavn while we were looking for a restaurant where we could try the famous Smørrebrød which are the open face sandwiches. The restaurant itself was hard to find if you're just looking on the street because it is up a small stairwell between two other more prominent restaurants. On a normal Saturday night in Copenhagen we came in for dinner and the entire restaurant was empty, the only customers were us two. The waitress was very nice and we had a very nice table in the corner by the window. We ordered the open faced sandwiches to try, and we only had the four sandwiches to split between the two of us. I was not sure what exactly to expect from the sandwiches and they were all decently tasty though the pork sandwich was a little dry. I would come back to Nyhavnskroen if I was looking for a small quiet restaurant to relax in at Nyhavn but I doubt I would return without that specific desire.

We were having a few drinks at the Nyhavnskroen last night. TERRIBLE service. The BLONDE waitress seemed to be constantly lost and found her way maybe twice in an hour from inside to the terrace. Every time a customer wanted to order he/she needed to go inside to BEG the blonde waitress to serve the terrace customers. The restaurant is located on the most touristy street in Copenhagen, but it should NOT be an excuse for poor service (I do know that some restaurants next to Nyhavnskroen have excellent service). As an icing on the cake the BLONDE waitress came to close the terrace at 22.05 and announced that everybody had to leave immediately as 22.00 was the limit. She said there was no time to finish the drinks unless we wanted to pay a "VERY HIGH PENALTY". I think it's unreasonable to expect that tourists and newcomers would know about such regulations.

This is probably not the best restaurant you can go to. However the atmosphere is very antique and hipster which I loved. The service was great too! They were able to split the check for everyone. However the food wasn't amazing. I got the fish cake open face and it was kind of dry. The entree cost me around 75dkk. I don't think I would come again but it was a good overall experience.
