Toldboden in Copenhagen…the perfect place to enjoy lunch in a sunny day of summer!

For a couple of days now summer has arrived in Copenhagen as well. Everyone is extremely excited about it, but there is also a bit of uncertainty given by the fear that all these very nice weather will go away in no time. However, this made us all -the ones born, moved or touring Copenhagen- forget about anything else and try to go out an enjoy this special edition of sun. In my case I have been looking for this weather since August last year, when the last days of summer left some memories in my mind. So, although, I kind of overslept last night, and I waked up kind of late, in this way missing morning sun which supposed to announce me about the nice weather of today, the moment I saw how beautiful the weather is I jump out my bed, put on my running kit and went out and run for a while. Once back in the house I took a shower and got ready to go out and have the “morning” coffee on a terrace. As usually I aimed for a different place, wanting to discover new places, new recipes, new people….With no idea in my mind I google it, and I found as a suggestion Todboden, somewhere in central Copenhagen, next to the water. So, I just saw few pictures with the place and I was sure this is the place I want to enjoy a part of my day.

The moment I arrived there I could recall that I kind of remember the place from my previous visits in that area, because that place is a touristic one as well, more or less in the way to the Little Mermaid. However, Toldboden has a nice patio, just perfect to enjoy a drink and/or something else in a nice weather; but it also has a very nice and big room inside, which can welcome many customers.20150803_124147

Hungry being I skip all the other aspects and I decided to stay in line for ordering the food, bearing in my mind the image of a nice dish that another customer just got, but which I didn’t know what exactly was. 20150803_123543However, in meanwhile my eyes were given to see some other nice dishes so I got totally confused about what I would like to have. My turn comes and I decided to go for Steak Frites, and a Heineken.20150803_124008

In return I received a round pager which suppose to announce me when my order is ready so I can come to pick it up. With the hungry in my stomach, the beer in one hand and the pager in the other hand I took a seat at a table, obviously outside in the patio!20150803_124136 After a waiting time of circa 15 minutes my pager let me know that it is the time for my stomach to celebrate. Anyways it was not only my stomach that should celebrate but also my eyes which were so delighted with the way my steak looked like

Steak Frites & Fish’n’Chips (my gf’s order)!

Once at the table, there was not waiting or thinking time…I jumped directly on the steak! It was delicious; and slowly, slowly I started feeling full, although the steak was still present on my plate. But this was not because it wasn’t good but because it was too much…ca. 300g. In the end I gave up, and I decided to share my food with someone in need, so I took it with me and gave it to a homeless.

However, before I left Todboden I took some more pictures to remember my experience there, but also to be able to share them with you, the ones reading this post, so you can have a more clear picture of what I am talking about.

As a conclusion, I won’t say bye, because we will meet again, but I will suggest you go and check out this place, Toldboden, as long as it is nice outside and you can enjoy the view as well.
