This was a wonderful little find. We stopped for lunch and this was the perfect place that was quiet, calm and with wonderful service. The menu was centred for lunch around the Smorrebrod that Denmark is famous for and yes, you will find cheaper versions with bigger sizes. But the sizes were perfect for us and with such powerful flavours you couldn't have eaten more. We will remember this special experience and moment and hope to one day make our way back.
Overall a very nice place, correct service, good experience and tasty food. However we had to wait a bit for the finger food after having had ordered cocktails and it came together with the first main dishes which was not ideal. We were able to spend also some time in the terrace and have deserts there which was very nice.
We missed the surprise coffee cotton candy despite having ordered a coffee but apparently we didn’t ask for right type 🙃. Perhaps next time.
The cocktail bar has a great vibe too and the terrace is set up also for colder weather. Definitely a place to consider.
Delicious food :)
we came by mistake at our booked time, the restaurant was full, but they found us a place in the bar area. we really liked it there too. the service was great. thank you. we will definitely come back when we will be in Copenhagen again.
We saw a few bad reviews, and honestly, people can be too quick to judge these days (yes, I know, a little hypocritical of me).
But truly, this was a great dinner experience.
The house cocktail, Bobe, is a drink I carry with me in memory. It lingers like a favorite song; its jazzy and deep yet uplifting and something I already miss.
The prices are slightly on the higher side, but they feel fair for the quality and creativity on the plate.
The menu felt fresh and exciting. We chose a few dishes from the medium section and one from the big. We loved the flexibility and the freedom to mix and match.
This restaurant is what a fine perfume is to the senses. Elegant, layered, quietly sophisticated.
And please, whatever you do, get the fries as a side. They are the crunchiest delight🤗
We love to travel and eat our way through cities all over the world and Bobe is now one of the most memorable meals we’ve had anywhere. Every dish felt unique, creative, and deeply thoughtful, with flavors that were surprising in the best possible way. You can really feel the craft and collaboration of the entire team in every course.
The service struck that perfect balance: warm, genuine, attentive but never pretentious. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, with a refined, linen-table vibe that still feels relaxed and welcoming rather than stiff or formal. It’s not the kind of place where someone places your napkin in your lap and honestly, we liked it that way.
If you’re looking for exciting, beautifully executed food without the fussy “tiny-bite” energy you sometimes get at Michelin-style restaurants, this is the place. If you’re in Copenhagen, make room in your schedule, Bobe is absolutely worth it.
