The food and atmosphere alone is worth it, the service/waiter makes it even better! Warmly recommended!

Service and ambience are nice. The food gave to me very mixed impressions. We had the 7 course menu. From great taste experience, to bland all included. The desert at the end much too sweet, so all single tasts somehow slay from sweetness. For this experience the price, even for costly DK, not justifiable.
Compared to high class dinners I had before on comparable prices, I only can give 3 stars for the food.

Disappointing. Service was lovely but food was cold. Every dish on tasting menu was cold.. one plate was hot to touch but food cold. Wine tasting menu was good value compared to other nearby restaurants but still pricy.. almost 200 euros for 2 people and not memorable at all.

Cozy spot at Boltens Gård that falls somewhere between casual bistro and Michelin recommended. Very relaxing atmosphere with great, charming service throughout.
We had the 7 course menu with 5 glasses of wine.
Hummer bisque was tasty but not spectacular. The fish on the other hand was sublime. Beef tatar was well salted. Lamb was well prepared and with a good sauce on the side. The veal was a small portion but definitely the better of the red meat offering. The intermezzo of rye bread, cheese and others was a very eccentric but surprisingly delicious course. And of course the honey ice dessert, to die for.

Den Lille Fede has long had a reputation for being an excellent price/value proposition and that remains very much true today. We paid 1600DKK for 7 courses, 5 glasses of wine for 2 people. Few places offer as solid quality wines and food as here.

There was an great attention to detail in the food. Every dish was a little slice of excellence. First rate, top of line, inspired, vibrant, fresh. One of the desserts came with a basil sorbet that is a surprising scoop of heaven.
Even a very light eater should not be afraid to order the 7 course menu. You will be fine!
Next time, I will not be ordering their wine menu as not a lot of their choices were to my taste. The ala carte wine does offer some great wine, and they have plenty of interesting drinks. Hopefully, I won't get a wobbly table again.

On a trip to Copenhagen with my cousin and his partner, they told us about their favorite restaurant anywhere, so we had to go. At Den Lille Fede, they offer a 5-course and a 7-course meal, both with the option of wine pairings for each course. Since it was a special occasion, we went for the seven course dinner with wine pairings.

Though I’m not usually a white wine drinker, favoring bold reds instead, I tasted three white wines that became instant hits because of their complexity, balance of acidity and refreshing minerality, accenting the dish paired with it. A few of the most memorable courses were:
umami beans, egg, and truffle;
fried hake fish with paper-thin potato slices and roasted malt (even my seafood-avoidant partner said she loved this fish);
ribeye and beets with a tangy and savory refined BBQ sauce;
and raspberry sorbet with peach and cream.

Though it can easily become an expensive evening, especially for traveling Americans and others who aren’t used to above-average Scandinavian pricing, I highly recommend Den Lille Fede for a special occasion and the experience of a long meal, vibrant flavors throughout a variety of interesting and beautiful dishes, and the professional and accommodating staff who led us through the meal. Expect to spend between $44 (for 5-course meal with no beverage pairings) to $113 per person (if you get the 7 courses, the wine pairings, and cava and coffee.

Been here once before and as first time very good service, food and atmosphere. First time we sat outside for around 7 years ago and last evening back for a second time to celebrate a special occasion. Perfect place to really celebrate someone special. Have nothing to complain about here just an amazing dinner with a very much extra.

A lovely experience. I had the full 7 course flight with the wine at each course. The service was friendly, warm and knowledgeable. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because the alternatives for a vegetarian / pescatarian were not wholly thought through. On one dish the chicken was just omitted from the dish without anything being added so it ended up just being an asparagus dish. What would have been the steak dish was a cod dish but the wine pairing was red wine which didn't work, one of the waiters however noticed this and offered a white to go with the cod but the white was far too sweet and more like a dessert wine. Apart from that I had a lovely experience, the food was superb, and I particularly enjoyed the story behind the cheese based dessert with the twisted bread which had a nice reminiscence of Danish childhood memories.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Copenhagen. Loved the experience and left very happy, just the odd tweak here and there and it would have been perfect. Thank you ✌️
