Cafe Dyrehaven

I ended up here by accident because the brunch place my friend and I intended to go to was backed up for like an hour. It was right around the corner, so it was perfect. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and Skyr. They both arrived in about 10 minutes max and were absolutely delicious! The benedict tasted very fresh and was appropriately filling. Also, there were glasses and complimentary water by the bar. After finding so many cafes and restaurants that make you pay for water, any place that gives it to me for free gets brownie points.
The décor in the café feels really homey and cozy. For a Saturday morning (around 10 AM), it wasn’t overwhelmingly crowded.
One problem is that the seating is open. So if you can’t find seating when you walk in, you have to loiter about awkwardly until some people leave. My friend and I found a seat at the bar immediately so it was not a problem for us. But just a head’s up!
It’s relatively easy to get to. It was about a 5 – 10 minute walk from the S-​Train stop, Dybbolsbro Station.
Overall, really enjoyed my experience here.

Café Dyrehaven is one of those places that feels like they’ve been around forever. Everything about it feels familiar, from the cozy booths by the windows to the dark, wood-​paneled walls and the shelf above the bar with wine and lemonade bottles lined up.
This is an all-​day spot, open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and turning into a neighborhood bar at night.
I’ve so far only tried their breakfast. The menu is small, but covers the classics like avocado toast and absolutely beautiful Eggs Benedict on a thick slice of rye bread with delicious ham. I love that they also have simple breakfast plates like a soft-​boiled egg with cheese on bread.
They don’t take reservations, so I suggest you come early for breakfast on the weekends, the place fills up quickly. Prices are totally fair, though I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s a total bargain.
I’ll definitely be coming back!

It’s been a month since we were in Copenhagen, but this place’s breakfast plate with the avocado-​cream bread and the amazing eggs benedict still haunts me im the best possible way. I can absolutely recommend it!

So awesome! One of my favorite places that I ate in Copenhagen. The weather was beautiful, so we sat outside, but inside was just as inviting had it been cold. And it just so happened it was a 3 minute walk from the Air BnB I was staying in.
My friends and I went for breakfast and we all got coffee and the Morning Combo #3. It consisted of cheese, an avocado paste on toast, a soft boiled egg and lots of amazing bread. It was a perfect amount for breakfast, and it was nice to get lots of different items so I could get a real taste of Denmark.
The café is on Sonder Blvd, which has loads of other restaurants, bike docking stations, etc… It’s a 10 minute walk from the meatpacking district and in a very cool neighborhood. I believe it is open with drinks in the evenings, but unfortunately didn’t get to try it in this capacity
I didn’t eat there again on that trip, but only because I wanted to try as many places as possible. If I ever go back to Copenhagen, I will definitely make a return visit.

Good coffee and cool vibe. Service was really slow to the point I had to physically grab our plates from the service window and request new eggs for our Benedicts as they were ice cold. The cook was very nice and accommodating. We ordered lattes, eggs Benedict, avocado toast, and the yogurt with muesli. The lattes were good but nothing incredible, eggs Benedict were slightly above average. The avocado toast was okay. The avocados were watery and less flavorful. I wish they used reed or fuerte avocados for a richer flavor and added salt and lemon. The yogurt and muesli was incredible, easily the best item we ate.

Café Dryehaven was our first breakfast spot in Copenhagen! It came highly reviewed and looked like traditional Danish food. Luckily we got the last seats before it filled up and they have menus in English which is nice. The food was good but pricey, but as we learned, everything is more expensive in Copenhagen. I got the breakfast plate which had one eggs benedict, skyr with muesli, and one slice of avocado toast. That was 120 kroner which equates to about 17 USD! It was good but it wasn’t that good! My friends each ordered just eggs benedict and I would do that or get a hard boiled eggs because those were what the majority of the locals had in front of them.
Long story short, the food here is good and solid but it’s not necessarily spectacular. I’d come here if you want the Danish experience. It feels very local which is cool.

When one needs a fix of Egg Benedict breakfast /​brunch in Copenhagen, this is the one place that I would go.
It takes a little bit of a walk from behind the central station, but it’s totally worth it. The atmosphere in the «café» is more of a bodega than a café, or even a bar, but don’t let it fool ya, the food is good here and my other favorite besides the Egg Benedict is the avocado-​mad (avocado on a rye bread). Note that it doesn’t serve the usual «brunch plate» crap that other wannabe-​cool-​cafes in Copenhagen does.
Get a seat outside in the sun when it’s warm, rather sitting inside in the dreary old «Bodega»

Ok, this one is for all the people who want to meet natives whilst traveling. Very smooth atmosphere, no one is in a hurry, everybody chilled and relaxed. Kudos to Denmark here and the menu is actually exactly what I was looking for: A place where you could eat, what I assume to be typical danish food. I got a chicken salad white a very special sour cream, which tasted very light and delicious. People are nice, the place is cosy, enough said, check it out: 4.5

Came here for a quick bite and got what I expected. Café Dyrehaven is a pretty low key bar with a cool atmosphere that offers decent meals at an alright price point. I had the fried mackerel that’s served with potatoes, prawns and white asparagus. The mackerel was a bit lacking in taste but the potatoes and asparagus were cooked perfectly. Vegetables are a pretty key part of any meal and they serve you a decent sized portion so thumbs up in my books.
I went on a Monday around ~7 and it was already packed. Has outdoor seating too which is nice.

Wow! We hadn’t had a really good meal since we got to Copenhagen and this place hit the spot. It’s quite small and was packed when we got there, so we had to wait a little bit for a seat, but after a few minutes a spot opened up. We decided on the veal and potatoes and cauliflower soup. You have to go to the bar to order which was no big deal. I ordered a delicious IPA as well.
When the food arrived we were amazed by the portions. The bowl of soup was enormous and the plate of veal and potatoes was huge! We could have easily split one of these dishes, but we’re so glad we got both, because they were amazing!
The prices were just right, food was out of this world, and. the staff was very kind, (even offering us a menu in English.) Also, they had self serve water which I thought was a great jester as so many places make you buy bottled water.
Great place and we will be back for what we hear is a delicious breakfast!

Delicious breakfast with Eggs Benedict and coffee. Medium-​sized portions but they make up for it easily in tastiness. The hollandaise sauce was superb and the portion had plenty of basil to keep it fresh.
The customer service was a bit chaotic and at least for us it wasnt possible to customize portions, other than that the portions arrived quickly (~10 minutes).
And of course everything was easily done in English.
Thank you for a delicious breakfast from Finland!

Really cool bar with a nice, relaxed atmosphere.
Food is delicious. We were there for breakfast and I had the breakfast plate — avocado mousse on rye bread, yoghurt with fruit compote and muesli and Eggs Benedict. It was gorgeous. Latte was really good too.
Prices were reasonable also.

Came here on a Saturday for lunch. It was very crowded and was a bit difficult to find a place to sit. Tried to place an order at the counter first before I found a seat, but was told that I had to find a seat first.
Got the double smørrebrød, was really fantastic! Enjoyed myself.

A small café with a lot of people on their laptops working. We came here due to Unilocal reviews and the place didn’t disappoint. You order upfront and they give you your drinks (cappuccino was bold and strong) right away. We ordered Eggs Benedict, made with fresh ingredients and very light. Loved very bite of it.

Dyrehaven is a small casual spot that has a no frills approach to Danish food. I’ve been here for Saturday brunch and a late Friday lunch and I’ve always had to wait for a table (I guess I have bad timing?). Nonetheless, waiting doesn’t bother me.
My husband and I had the Morning Combo III, the Eggs Benedict, and a Café Au Lait. They were all very good and reasonably priced. We would recommend both dishes.
The waitstaff at Dyrehaven are polite and friendly. I don’t expect exceptional/​over the top service at a casual place like this. Dyrehaven is a nice place for a cozy simple breakfast with friends.

My friends and I decided to come here for a no frills dinner. Walked in to find a dimly lit, intimate spot with some locals. We grabbed a table and asked for some menus. Ordered up at the front and waited for our food (for quite some time), paid after we were done. We ordered the baked cod and French onion soup to share. It wasn’t amazing, but pretty good for the most part. The cod could’ve been more fresh, but the sautéed beans were delicious. The bacon was a bit much for me as it made it so that there were too many flavors going on at once. The dish was well put together, but the tomato pesto didn’t really go with the fish in my opinion.
The French onion soup was sweeter than I was used to, which was good; it was still flavorful. The cheese bread was pretty good too, but it was a tad bit too filling after the bread basket. The service was alright, we kept having to ask for things (not really a restaurant, so I understand). One thing my friends and I loved, the old school music! It didn’t really match the atmosphere, but who cares. I’d imagine this would be a great spot for brunch as long as you like it simple.

Appearing very“hipsterish/pretentious“at the first glance, make no mistake, this is a good place to go for lunch. Their small menu delivers items that are really tasteful. Ain’t nothing pretentious about the food coming out of this place. Try their chicken salad, it is the best I’ve had in Copenhagen.

Decent bread-​based food for lunch — various open sandwiches. All pretty creamy/​mayonaisey. Good coffee quality like most quality restaurants in Copenhagen.
But let down by excessively hipster waitstaff who can’t crack a smile or sell you breakfast if you arrive a few minutes after brekkie cut-​off time (noon).

I know this place is known for breakfast or brunch but we came for dinner. Limited for options, and ran out of what I wanted originally but all in all still great meal.
Cool neighborhood, we actually passed by plenty of cafes /​restaurants on our way here. Dinner wasn’t so busy as I could imagine brunch could be. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the counter type place, and you can ask for an English menu.
We ordered 2 pale ale and a lamb meatballs came with potatoes, and warn cabbage slaw pretty tasty. And a baked goat cheese on top of salad. The salad had a light oil dressing with apples, almonds, tomatoes, radish, olives and others, it was very filling.
Our bill came to 300Kr about $ 60CAN good service and cool vibe.

If you are reading this and feeling hungry and want breakfast/​brunch, Dyrehaven is the right place to come to!
Ask for the English menu. Try the latte and get the eggs benedict. The egg was cooked perfectly and the ham on it was so flavorful, went went with everything. The portion was no American portion, but it’ll do the job. My BF got the combo #3 and everything was delicious except the cheese. He said it tasted like «butthole» but it was because we Americans aren’t used to fresh cheese and not processed cheese. I did taste the cheese, it did taste a bit too cheesy for me.
If you can, drop by this place and get their breakfast!

FYI: This review is primarily for the brunch (with a small blurb at the end for the evening entertainment).
I have, for many moons now, been preaching the gospel of brunch at Manfreds and Vin, and how it’s simply the best in Copenhagen. And then I went to Dyrehaven for brunch. And I’ve officially been converted (though Manfreds still holds a very dear place in my heart, and I will go back repeatedly for their homemade sausages and perfectly poached eggs).
First of all, find me a restaurant that kills it with eggs benedict, and you have found me a restaurant that kills it generally. Okay, so Dyrehaven is hardly a restaurant (I’d say more of a café or brasserie), but listen, they KILL IT with their eggs benedict. Unlike Heidi S., I believe the use of homemade rugbrød in thick, toasted slices instead of an english muffin was the perfect added Scandinavian touch to their own version of eggs benedict. Ultimately, the most important part of an eggs benedict is not what sort of bread you use (for example, in Seattle most Northwest style eggs benedicts come on a croissant and have cream cheese and lox instead of canadian bacon or spinach, and it’s still freaking awesome), but rather, the quality of the hollandaise sauce. And Dyrehaven has perfected that.
What makes the brunch better is when you order the full package (Morgenmadstallerken) and get another thick and toasted slice of homemade rugbrød with smashed avocado (with a hint of lime) and sliced hazelnuts on top. And then a bowl of skyr with müesli and berries. You may or may not feel like you’re going to explode afterward, but add in a 10kr shot of ginger and I’m pretty sure your hangover just disappeared AND you won’t have to eat again for the rest of the day. WIN.
Breakfast Pro-​Tip: Brunch starts at 10 and ends at 12 and you can’t reserve. On a sunny day, people show up well before 10am to claim spots at the benches out front, which happen to be in direct sunlight all morning. Come early or miss out.
Blurb on the nightlife: it has been my experience that the most concentrated amount of hipster beards can be found at Dyrehaven on a Friday night. It’s also nearly impossible to find a place to sit, let alone stand, if you get there after about 10pm. Cramped? Yes. Popular? Yes. Not uncommon to engage in a game of limbo out front with complete strangers at 3am? Yes. Consider yourselves warned.
