Cafe G

Cafe G is located in the center of Copenhagen just two blocks off of Stroget, the main pedestrian street. I went there for the first time within a month of its opening, and it was a fabulous experience. My boyfriend and I went there spontaneously and ordered the two different brunch plates. They were absolutely delectable; one is vegetarian and one is not. The brunch is a traditional Mediterranean one. Not only do the flavors come together nicely (especially the fresh lox with tzaziki), but the presentation is also lovely. After our meal, the friendly owner, Alf, came over and made nice conversation with us. He must have seen our faces radiating in happiness after the filling brunch. He then came over with a creme brulee torch and roasted us some marshmallows to finish off a great meal. The weekend brunch is also very excellent; it is a continental buffet that combines the two weekday brunches and also includes drinks. On other occasions I have tried the homemade soup (changes daily) and comes in generous portions, the chicken club which is drizzled in pesto and a vinaigrette, and the open steak sandwich, which is one of the best sandwiches I have had. All of these traditional sandwiches have a unique twist making them that much more delectable. Over the 6 months I lived in Copenhagen, Cafe G remained my favorite restaurant, and Alf was consistently friendly. On my last night in Copenhagen, I chose to return to Cafe G to say bye, and Alf treated me to some coffee, and I told him I would most definitely spread the word on his gem of a restaurant. He told me to tell all these people that they receive 10% off their [already reasonably priced] meal if they mention his name and the 10% off deal. Definitely worth the visit if you are ever in Copenhagen looking for a good place for a delicious, inexpensive lunch.
