It must be time to show some of the food we ate in Copenhagen. I’ll start with a photo of where we ate. In this first photo, we actually ate at the Oresund Café which is the red building in back. But all the restaurants and bars along the Harbor had outside dining as well as inside. And despite some cool weather, many people ate outside. They usually had blankets on the seats and often times heaters near the tables so it was actually fairly nice to eat outside. The second photo was our lunch at the Oresund Café. We had shrimp, roast beef, salmon, chicken salad, herring, cheese, and breads plus a few extras like bacon and sauce and onions, etc. Everything was good and it was just the right amount of food.

The third photo is at the Grosten Restaurant, inside of Tivoli Gardens. It was a great restaurant and very busy. The service was also excellent though the Copenhageners eat at a slower pace than we do. Vicky was starting here with some Potato Soup. She said it was very good. I had a big plate of beef stew with vegetables. Our guide Lasse, seen in the fourth photo, also had the beef stew. After we had finished our big plates of beef stew, our waitress dropped off the plate in front of Lasse and said, “Here, in case you want some more”. I didn’t but Lasse did. You might also notice some lingonberries to Lasse’s left. Lingonberries seem to be a staple in Scandinavia and Finland.

The last photo was our dessert at Celestina Restaurant. Dinner had been salted salmon with nuts, sour cream, and greens plus flank steak with brown gravy and a horseradish sauce. Dessert (pictured) was coffee ice cream with a caramel sauce, cheese, and some leaves on top. It was very good indeed and a great presentation.
