Grød

‘Unique’ is the first word that comes to mind when I think back on my meal at Grød. Their warm porridge is the perfect breakfast/​brunch/​lunch on a cold day! I ordered the traditional Danish rice pudding with tarragon sugar, organic butter, fresh pear, & toasted hazelnuts, and my friend ordered the oat porridge with dulche de leche, fresh apple, & roasted almonds. The bowls are small, but BOY are these things filling! We barely finished ours, but they were both damn delicious.
The restaurant space is tiny, much smaller than I’d imagined, so be prepared to get cozy with the strangers next to you. There are only three tables; two for two people, and one larger table that can seat about 7 – 8 people. But if you’re lucky enough to be in CPH in the warmer months, definitely take advantage of the picnic tables outside! Though small, the place feels oh so home-​y. A must-​try in Copenhagen!

Preuve en est que j’ai adoré ce lieu: 3 jours à Copenhague, 3 petits-​déjeuners à Grod.
Je suis allée 2 fois dans le Grod de Torvehallerne et 1 fois dans celui de Norrebro. J’y ai goûté le porridge sans gluten au quinoa avec 3 toppings au choix (compote de pommes, beurre de cacahuètes et éclats de fèves de cacao), le traditionnel pudding danois au riz avec skyr (yaourt épais), figues fraîches et muesli, et enfin un porridge aux flocons d’avoine avec compote de pommes, skyr et muesli. Je me suis vraiment régalée les 3 fois, mais ma préférence va tout d’abord au porridge aux flocons d’avoine, hyper crémeux et réconfortant et qui s’associe à merveille avec la compote et le yaourt, ensuite à celui au quinoa qui est original, et enfin au pudding de riz. Au niveau des toppings, rien né vaut donc la compote, un élèment plus croustillant comme le muesli, et enfin le yaourt ou un fruit frais.
Au niveau du prix, c’est raisonnable et, très franchement, ça cale vraiment bien. Vous n’aurez assurément pas faim avant plusieurs heures ! De plus, le personnel est sympa, la présentation dans leurs bols à bords hauts très jolie. Tout est top ! Manqué plus que la possibilité d’avoir les mêmes en version végane et je déménage direct ;)

This is for the Torvehallerne location.
If you’re expecting fast takeaway, don’t. It took them 15 minutes to make my risotto, while I stood in the crowded aisle dodging prams and shoppers. If you’ve been to Torvehallerne, you know it’s a place that you don’t want to hang around waiting for your food as there’s simply no space to stand. I get that risotto can take a while to prepare, but you should be informed of that when you order takeaway, because the assumption is that it’s in a vat and ready to go. The place was also understaffed in that the cook was trying to make coffee, take orders, take payments and prepare several orders at the same time, with the result that my order, though given first, was the fourth to be served, with no apologies or explanations. Would not return.

As the name suggests, this small and hipstery (but undeniably cozy) place mainly serves different variations of grain-​based porridge. However, they also serve savoury lunch and dinner options (like daal).
I came here for breakfast to sample the true CPH hipster experience, and didn’t really expect the porridge to be anything special (I am also not an oatmeal fan). I was wrong. I chose the spelt porridge with pears, liquorice sugar, skyr and walnuts, and it was the best porridge I have ever tasted — well-​cooked, good flavour combination, and sufficiently but not overly sweetened. I also had a freshly made apple carrot ginger juice and a cappucino — both very good.
Also, the atmosphere is very nice and rather more relaxing than other cafes I’ve had breakfast in. Just perfect!

Mixed reviews about this place. It’s very cute and small and the porridge was very yummy. Our experience was however slightly ruined by the fact that we had to wait ages for our food and once it did come, everyones order (except mine) was done incorrectly which was a shame so we had to get them all fixed!
I really like the concept of a porridge bar and liked the fact that they had gluten free options as well as vegan options (soy milk). Their toppings were great too! Will hopefully have a chance to come back — perhaps the service was just off on that day!

This was my fourth time eating at Grød, and the first time at this location. There is plenty of seating outside, limited inside, but still more than the Torvehallerne. Inside is unashamedly hipster, as is the surrounding shops and area.
I had the spelt with figs, nuts, and cocoa nibs. This was actually the least flavorful combination I’ve had at Grød, so I was a little disappointed. The breakfast options were all sweet, and it seemed like there were savory options that started around 11am. Lunch options started around 12, I think. Menu is in Danish and English.

Best porridge ever. That’s right, ever. I would’ve never imagined how impressive a porridge breakfast could be, but the dulce de leche porridge with apples and almonds was a true culinary delight. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors delightful.
The inside space is beautiful, intimate, and quite cosy. The service staff is helpful, patient, and helpful with recommendations, if needed. A perfect place to start a lazy Norrebro morning.

Coming from London where every type of quirky café you could think up exists, I was a bit un-​phased by an oatmeal café in Copenhagen. However, when my friend and I reached the «foodie street of Copenhagen» it seemed too popular to pass up.
The little shop is tiny and barely had room to stand and order. They have some picnic tables outdoors that get direct sunlight so they are nice enough to eat at even on a colder day. I ordered the oatmeal with dulce de leche and almonds and substituted strawberries for whatever fruit was initially included. The oatmeal was perfectly cooked with great texture and any breakfast that involves dulce de leche is an A+ in my book so I was happy as a clam. Only problem was that the portion was quite filling and I wasn’t hungry again until dinner time, which made me miss out on all the other tasty things I had wanted to try… guess I will have to return.

I think that we made a mistake in coming here for breakfast. I think we should have come for dinner for the risotto. But alas, we came for breakfast porridge. We arrived right when they opened and we got one really good dish and one dish that was not for us. The one we like was an oat porridge with an apple compote with skyr, I would definitely eat that again. The order of spelt oats cooking in soy milk with fresh berries and hazelnuts however was not my favorite. It tasted alright in the beginning (very healthy), but the more I ate it, the more I disliked it. I loved the intimate atmosphere of the restaurant and definitely think people should come here and try it out. Maybe just ask the employees for their recommendations on how the different oats compare!

YUM!!!
This was my first meal in Copenhagen. I ordered the risotto and it was delicious! It had basil, tomato, and Parmesan. I highly recommend this place. Amazing.

Visited this place for lunch today. We were bummed we had to take the meal to go since there weren’t any seats. The place has less than ten seats. However, the food was perfect. We ordered two different oatmeal a and the risotto. Loved the carmel oatmeal and the risotto. We will definitely be back.

Amazing place for the best porridge ever. Beautiful place in a beautiful street. Only serves porridge but although it sounds suprising, believe me these are the best porridge and these can be savoury or sweet! Amazing! Deserves 10 stars! Go and check it out… Or if you are not going check out the recipe book!

We almost missed the entrance because the place is small. You order at the back of the restaurant and they bring the food to you.
The store is adorable with snacks available to purchase like granola, dried strawberries, etc.
We were recommended the following (below) and my friend and I shared both:
— Risotto with asparagus, lemon and parmesan
— Rhubarb with cream
The risotto had the right amount of lemon and parmesan. Parmesan was sprinkled at the very top and the risotto had hints of lemon as you made your way through the bowl. This is my type of comfort food… if only I could make this at home.
The rhubarb dessert… I am in love with rhubarb now. Delectable. There was a nice bit of cream on top with some graham crumbles.
This location does not serve breakfast after 11 AM so we couldn’t try the breakfast porridges but we heard the location in the Torvehallerne Market has their breakfast menu available all day!

A cute little porridge shop. We ate from the breakfast menu, and had some lovely and filling oatmeal with apples, dulce de leche and almonds. A great breakfast/​brunch option!

So good! Filling and cheap. I got the barely Otto and it was so good. Good music, good vibes

I aim to take every visitor I have here and direct every random tourist or resident who hasn’t been towards the smallish storefront with patio seating.
Delicious porridge of an interesting and eclectic variety — ginger syrups, toasted flax seed, skyr, gluten-​free options, fresh fruit. Be still my heart.
After 11am, try their savory dishes (beet risotto of some sort, indian daal, and others), and in the evening, give the dinner menu a shot.

Recently visited this place and totally enjoyed it.
The place is extremely tiny with around 8 to 10 seats.
Perfect location for a cold winter lunch.
Service nice and friendly.
Food fresh and nicely served.
Tried the barley risotto with oyster mushrooms, Danish cheese and watercress, risotto with carrots, Parmesan and sour bread croutons and as desserts tried the oatmeal porridge with dulce de leche, almonds and apples and an apple compote with skyr yoghurt and white chocolate. Everything was super tasty.

Hrm… Didn’t live up to the hype. Only a couple kinds of porridge for breakfast. They’re a bit salty? I wasn’t blown away by the taste but appreciated the flavour combos and the variety in the menu the rest of the day/​eve. Really small, lights at head height which are glarey n annoying. Chairs uncomfy — without the food I didn’t enjoy the way it was set out. Coffee was decent.

I was very sceptical with this place I must say. Although the reviews were very positive I thought it was more like a trend to eat there and that the food will be just ok. Well I wanted to try it anyway and again, I should trust the Unilocal reviews. It was truly very good!
So regarding the food I didn’t dare to try the porridge as a first time goer, cause since I was a child I just didn’t like it. However I tried the risotto which was very very good I must say. Now I am eager to go back and see if they can change me to like porridge! The portions are small, so if you re going with someone else I would suggest you get one plate each and one to share. I saw a bunch of girls doing that. They knew how to order! There are also some other plates that are large, don’t know which ones come as a large size, but just ask!
The place is teeny tiny. So you must be patient with the service and the queue that is formed inside in this small room. It has outdoor seating for the sunny days, but I don’t know how it works in the winter as the interior is so small.
The small portions, the slightly slow service, the queue and the fact it is so small makes me gives 4 stars and not 5.

I found this place thanks to Unilocal.I was looking for a place where I could taste a good porridge but gluten free and dairy free.
So we went to the north of Copenhaguen to try this place, situated in a very cute street it was worth the trip.
The place is very small but it’s a nice place to sit.
I took a gluten free porridge with soy milk, caramel, hazelnuts and blueberries. It was really good and it was a pleasure to finally find something thats tastes like real porridge but gluten and dairy free.
My boyfriend too the normal porridge with soy milk, apple, almonds and caramel and he really loved it as well. He actually loved it so much that he wanted to take a second one.
I really recommend this place.

One of my favorite eating experiences when I was in Copenhagen. I recommend you go there early for breakfast, before it gets crowded, and then do a walk through the nearby cemetery/​park and see the grave sites of Hans Christian Andersen and the famous philosopher Soren Kierkegaard.
As for the food, I recommend trying the rye bread porridge cooked in small beer and beet juice and then topped with hazelnuts, fruit compote and coriander syrup. It is delicious and you will know you are not in Kansas anymore. I was told there is another location for Grod but I think this one is charming. I haven’t tried it for dinner, when they do more savory porridges but when I go back to Copenhagen I’ll definitely come back and yep, I don’t think you will find anything like this back in the states. :-)
