Kong Hans Kælder, Copenhagen

"At Hans Kong Kælder, the sauces take centre stage in all dishes. These are mostly well made, but not typically flavoured in the classic French way. The composition of the dishes was not always convincing, especially at the beginning it seemed a bit thrown together. The more puristic the combinations with the sauces were, the more harmonious the overall composition was. It's worth noting that the service is present at the table three times with action: filleting the fish, slicing the "Sarcophagus", finalising the dessert - this naturally increases the feel-good factor and the guest experience enormously. All in all, this was not a compelling two stars for me, the start of the menu was simply too weak for that. However, the second half of the menu definitely justifies the rating. However, it's less likely that I'll visit again, as we have enough restaurants of a similar style and quality in Germany. When I visit Copenhagen in future, I'll choose restaurants with Nordic cuisine or another exciting speciality." (Published in May 2025)
