BRANDSØN drinking bar and dining room

Cool and trendy restaurant. Staff very polite and the food is amazing. They also deliver home with a very fancy bag!

Nice location and high food quality. Chocolate sauce for the Dame Blanche actually truly deserves the name "chocolate"! Be sure to visit the stylish toilet even if you don't have to ;-).

Looking at the website, and the way we were welcomed in the restaurant, they set high expectations. "Starting the evening with Champaign?" WOW, promising. We just went for a nice white wine, and the rest...quite disappointing: twice they served us meals/drinks from other tables; after 1,5 hours starter was served; asking for a second bottle of the same wine, another wine was brought to the table; wrong risotto was served; when paying they added €10 extra on the payment terminal. Even they mixed up the jackets of several tables. Overall a disappointing experience.

I would have given Brandsøn a five-star review on the basis of multiple visits over the past few months, however, our visit last week merited a two- or three-star review at best, ending up almost a disaster in terms of overall experience. All three of us had the fish, which was overcooked, but, worse, served in a dish for everyone to take a piece without any serving spoons or, indeed, without anyone asking whether we needed help. After waiting for a few minutes, I got up and brought some spoons to serve this, and the mousseline potatoes, the asparagus, and the beans myself. Not quite sure how they expected us to split these things unless they expected us to all put our spoons and forks in the tiny pots accompanying the main. Wines proposed for dishes were irrelevant (even red was proposed for the fish), so we did the best we could ourselves in terms of selection; for starters bisque was not up to scratch, whereas blinis were overcooked and cold -no comparison to the way the same thing was served less than ten days ago- but the worse elements for us was the cocktails. We pick Brandsøn over other places, exactly because we can have a nice cocktail and have relaxed evenings. In this instance, I specifically asked for what I had the week before, explaining it was light and creamy and not in the menu, to be served with a strong, coffee cocktail which drilled my stomach and was very much on the menu. Upon discussion and asking for any other cocktail of something creamy, we were told that only options were the ones in the menu -hardly ten cocktails- and when we explained that we always had them make some for us we were told that 'this has recently changed'. Recently must have been very recently. As in the last 4-5 days since our last visit! Intentions were perhaps good, not quite sure what happened,. but a rather disappointing experience this time...

Awesome trendy place with great service and great price/quality
