Restaurant Karla is a restaurant in central Copenhagen, on Dantes Plads, close to the city's busy hub around Vesterbro and Central Station. It serves Danish food, with smørrebrød (open-faced rye bread sandwiches) and dinner dishes on the menu.
The cooking aims at classic Danish home cooking, in the spirit of a grandmother's kitchen. The room is cosy and homely, and the restaurant has been run for the last ten years as a place for neighbours and visitors alike. It makes a relaxed stop for a traditional Danish meal rather than a formal occasion.
What to expect
- Seasonal menus: the food changes with the seasons, and there are separate summer, winter and Christmas menus.
- Julefrokost: the restaurant also offers a menu for Julefrokost, the traditional Danish Christmas lunch, which suits groups visiting in December.
- Opening days: the restaurant is open every day of the week, and the kitchen serves from late morning until the evening.
Planning a visit
Tables can be booked online through the restaurant's own website or by telephone, which is worth doing for dinner or for a group. The restaurant is easy to reach on foot from the city centre, and it suits anyone who wants to try Danish food in a warm, unhurried setting.
