Are you a tourist or a local looking for a great place to enjoy a brunch alone or together with someone else? I might have a place that you may like it! It is called Cafe Pixie (http://cafepixie.dk/), in Copenhagen.
I chose to eat in this place after I had seen that it is promoted not only by VisitCopenhagen (http://www.visitcopenhagen.dk/da/kobenhavn/gastronomi/top-10-brunch) but also by AOK (http://www.aok.dk/restaurant-og-cafe/de-5-laekre-brunch) as one of the best places for brunch in Copenhagen, and now that I visited the place by myself I can definitely agree with these two Danish sources.
Cafe Pixie is located close to Nordhavn Station -it took me about eight minutes to get there by foot-, and so somehow away from the touristic areas of Copenhagen, which gives it the feeling of an authentic experience. Next to it is another cafe, Bopa Cafe, which seems to follow the same business plan. However, when I first had the two of them in sight, I could say that Cafe Pixie might offer something more exciting than their neighbors; its patio was bigger and full of people, while the other one had not so many customers at the time of my visit.
Like I said, when my girlfriend and I arrived at Cafe Pixie, almost all the tables were taken, but luckily we got a table, without having a reservation. Few seconds later our order was taken: two brunches and two big latte.
I’d read before my visit her some comments on TripAdvisor about this cafe, as it takes a long time to get the food; well, I cannot say whether that’s right or not. All I know is that in our case it took about 20 minutes to receive both the food and drinks; they were brought in the same time!
Once the food was on our table the feast started! The brunch looked fantastic and I kinda new from the very beginning that my stomach will have a hard time. But I didn’t care: I ate it all, this is how much I like it! Scrambled eggs, bacon, two pieces of grilled Merguez sausages, cantaloupe, grapes, cheese, yoghurt with muesli, salmon with cucumber, zucchini and mint, croissant, a little cake, Oland bread and of course the traditional and famous Danish rugbrød with butter….all of them very yummy, that I have their memory very fresh in my mind.
The atmosphere was also very nice: summertime weather , sun, and a lot of people at the tables around us…The service was very good as well; I will go as far as to say it was at a level one may expect only in high class restaurants.
At the end of this post, if it is to link this experience of mine with a famous TV commercial, it’d sound like this: distance to the cafe: 56 minutes; two brunches and two latte: 380 Danish Crowns (for two persons); my satisfaction: beyond words!
All in all I had a great time at Cafe Pixie, and I recommend it to everyone, tourists or locals, looking for a delicious and consistent brunch, in a pretty much authentic Danish atmosphere, and in a non-touristic area of Copenhagen.
Spot'n'go!
