Spontan in Kopenhagen nach Austern gegoogelt. Ohne einer Resevation ein Tisch für Zwei bekommen. Wilde Fine de Clair serviert bekommen für rund 32 Euro für 6 Stück. Danach sehr gute Mole frite mit hausgemachter Dill-Aioli. Wir tranken einen ausgezeicneten Burgunder. Danach folgten Petitfours und B52 als Dessert. Die adamen und Herren im Service, Sind sehr aufmergsam, höflich und spedetif. Es ist einiges los um 15.00 Uhr an einem Samstag in August. Obwohl die Adresse eher in einem Hinterhof einer Nebenstrasse liegt. Grandios.

Quality of oysters are not it. I used to love this place, but the oyster deal was a letdown. Beautifully played but the oysters were small, not meaty, and honestly not worth it. What made it worse was the service: no one came over to ask if we wanted more oysters or anything else, even though we tried several times to catch a waiter’s eye. It just feels like you’re expected to come in, eat your oysters, and leave. The vibe is nice but way too busy, and the whole thing comes off more like a money grab than a good dining experience. The staff themselves are friendly, but clearly understaffed for the crowd. A bleh experience.
