Copenhagen

Creative, delicious, modern deconstructed take on traditional Nordic food. *love*.

I experienced an intersection of textures (crunchy and creamy in the same bite), vibrant colors (thanks to inclusion of bets and greens and other vegetables, with creamy butter or cheese) grounded in traditional flavors with a few unexpected additions (jalapeño! Lemon balm!). Varied and interesting wine list (e.g., not just the usual suspects for origin, orange, robust whites).
Ambiance lovely & service admirable.

I ordered a starter and the fried cod entrée rather than the full course. (Between those and the additional minicourses included, I correctly predicted: no room for dessert!)

100% I will be back here. Do they have a Michelin star?-- not sure, but that would be totally on point (in my non professional/amateur epicure opinion)!

Truly such a beautiful meal. We each got the non-veg tasting menu (they had a tasting menu with meat and one without) but ordered the celery main as well. Everything was beautiful but the fish really stands out as well as the pear sorbet. The meal was perfectly paced, the service was attentive and they made good suggestions, and the interior is beautiful and tasteful. We went in on a Sunday night with reservations. It was full but not packed.

Vaekst is a Nordic restaurant centered around fresh produce located in a space with an indoor greenhouse and an abundance of plants. We had the three course meal for dinner. The surprise starter was a waffle with brown butter, cheese and watercress followed by fresh sourdough bread and goat milk butter. The appetizer was a salted cod topped with gooseberry. After the starter we had surprise mid course, a potato and cucumber salad with potato crisps topped with a cream cheese cream. The main course was fried hake served with beurre blanc sauce, peas, dried shrimp and served with a side of mashed potatoes. Dessert was a yogurt sorbet with caramelized rhubarb, white chocolate and hazelnut crunch. As a yogurt hater, I substituted for three types of danish cheese. We loved Vaekst for its fresh, clean flavors and focus on greens both in their decor and their dishes

How bizarre and what a surprise! Another miss in Copenhagen! I expected so much and would have loved this place to be a 5 star. It had a Michelin star in the past, so I figured there is no way this could be anything less than 4.5 stars. Alas, I'm a bit underwhelmed with this restaurant as well.

First, the decor is supposed to give a Greenhouse feel to it, and yes there were plants everywhere. There was NOTHING visually stunning about the restaurant. Let's overlook this and still give it 5 stars. Openaire in hollywood is a GORGEOUS greenhouse restaurant in Los Angeles.

Let's talk about the food and service. The majority of the staff could barely crack a smile or say welcome. I do understand that the restaurant is exceptionally busy and people were running left and right. But just basic minimal greetings is not much to ask for. The first comment from the host was do you have a reservation, ok let me seat you down.

You can order a prefix or a la carte. I do realize that with a lot of these prefix menus, it's the presentation and the style. But at the end of the day you want delicious food for the price you are getting. The expectations for a Michelin star restaurant is MUCH higher than the average restaurant. I really wanted this restaurant to deserve a 5 star but the food wasn't anything I would come back for. The bread was rock hard, and the butter exceptionally salty. There was s cauliflower, a beef and a cod fish variety. I usually pay such great attention to detail and the food but nothing registered. I was hoping that I could find one good restaurant in Denmark. Alas. This was a disappointment as well. Maybe the quality of the food was amazing in the past. Our server was terrific so the three stars was for him. So so bummed....

AMAZING- JUST GO FOR IT. You won't be disappointed. From presentation, ambiance, quality of service and taste, everything will be amazing. The tomato entree with the heart shaped waffles were delicious!!!

Dining Delight at Vaekst, Copenhagen!

We had the most unforgettable dining experience at Vaekst in Copenhagen, and it was made even more memorable by our amazing waitress, Clara!

From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy ambiance. The lush greenery surrounding the dining area created a serene and inviting atmosphere. It felt like stepping into a hidden oasis in the heart of the city.

Clara, our attentive and knowledgeable waitress, guided us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. She effortlessly explained the unique concept of Vaekst, where the ingredients are sourced from their own rooftop garden, ensuring freshness and sustainability in every dish.

The culinary journey began with a selection of beautifully presented appetizers. Each bite was a burst of flavor, showcasing the creativity and skill of the talented chefs. Clara recommended the smoked salmon tartare, which was a perfect balance of textures and tastes, leaving us wanting more.

For the main course, Clara suggested the tender beef filet served with locally sourced vegetables. The dish was a masterpiece, cooked to perfection and accompanied by a rich, velvety sauce that elevated the flavors to new heights. Clara's wine pairing suggestion complemented the dish superbly, enhancing the overall dining experience.

To end our extraordinary evening, Clara surprised us with a dessert platter that featured homemade specialties. The decadent chocolate mousse and the delicate berry tart were a sweet symphony that delighted our taste buds. Clara's attention to detail and her genuine passion for the cuisine truly made this a standout dining experience.

Throughout the evening, Clara's warm and friendly demeanor added an extra touch of magic to our meal. Her impeccable service, coupled with her extensive knowledge of the menu, made us feel like valued guests. She went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional.

Vaekst, with its enchanting atmosphere and extraordinary cuisine, combined with Clara's exceptional service, is truly a gem in Copenhagen's culinary scene. We wholeheartedly recommend visiting Vaekst and having the pleasure of being served by the remarkable Clara. A dining experience that will leave you with cherished memories and a desire to return again and again.

Having stayed at the adjacent Hotel SP34 on my previous trip to CPH, I've tried the "breakfast version" of this place, and it was delicious. This time, I had a chance to come back for dinner. The food was delightful: the bread & butter with tarragon oil, scallops, and baked hake, as well as the dessert, were spot on. The service was friendly but got a bit MIA at the end of the evening (Tired? Distracted? Something came up? Who knows... but it was noticeable). Still, I would consider going back, maybe for lunch - on a warm day, they open up the windows and the whole place turns into an almost dining-on-the-terrace experience.

Was able to get a same day reservation early week. All food was excellent. Absolutely excellent! We went the a la carte route. There are portions served in between, even if not on the menu.

I was surprised that check in and the wine list were suboptimal, but again, food was excellent!!!

On our last night of vacation in Copenhagen, we let the Yelp app lead us to Vaekst, and we had a totally outstanding dining experience.

The venue was beautiful and quite stylish.  We were seated at a large table on the 1st floor, which was the perfect size for our party of six.  After consulting with our server, we all opted for their Prix Fixe menu.  Each and every dish was deliciate, delicious and beautifully presented.  We loved everything we ate that night; my personal favorite was the cod (completely superlative) but everything was wonderful :-)

We shared several desserts, and they were all delicious!

The service was quick and attentive; our server paused briefly to explain each dish as it was served.  There's no doubt in my mind about recommending this place - when you're in Copenaghen, it's unquestionably a must-visit restaurant!
