This place was the highest rated, closest place open, so I decided to try it. I guess I missed the main bar and no one redirected me. When I asked for a place to sit, they explained it was vegan only, which was fine. I got seated and put in my order. I got my beverage right away. Another group came in and ordered. I waited. and waited. The group that came in before me got their food. They were done eating and I was about to leave when my food showed up. The food was quite good, but the service for me was really slow. Also, the waitress seemed put off by my lack of ability to understand danish(or she at least gave me kind of a weird look when she asked if I didn’t understand danish at all)

Best vegan place in Copenhaguen! They have a vegan restaurant just above the regular one. The food was amazing! I highly recommend this place for vegan or even no vegan people. The menu was around 30 €/person, with a starter, main course, and dessert.

Good food but too expensive, for the experience(noisy and chaotic). I’m not coming back. The food was pretty good, my friend had the mushroom risotto and I had the Pakistani lamb. The plates were large — definitely a full meal, even without starters. But at 160 and 185 kr. I expect more than just good food. The basement where Atlas Bar is located was noisy and felt chaotic. My friend was basically yelling and I still had a hard time hearing what she was saying. To add insult to injury, the waiter forgot our beverage order and when she came to take the plates she didn’t ask if we wanted dessert or coffee or the check for that matter. I think they were a waiter short that evening, but even with the extra waiter I wouldn’t give it more than three stars. Sorry, I did hear good things about this place, but it really didn’t live up to any expectations.

This place is awesome. It’s tucked away on a little street in Copenhagen. You have to go down a few steps for the front door. The inside is very small and while you do feel very packed in, the atmosphere is great and, if you like that kind of thing, you might even end up making new friends! The food is seasonal here so the menu changes frequently and often they run out of dishes later in the evening. The food is DELICIOUS, aside from the absolutely massive portions, it’s all really well cooked, well seasoned and generally really tasty. With the menu ever changing some of the options can seem rather random with Japanese beef curry sitting alongside risotto and baked enchiladas. However, it usually means there is something to suit everyone and they even have an entire page of vegetarian options! The food is fairly priced and reasonably cheap for the area, the wine is good and they offer beer and an assortment of other drinks too. The staff are friendly and remember you if you go back several times(as we did). We really loved this place and I would really reccomend it. Mind you, I would head there for either an early supper or a late one as between 7:30 — 9:30 it can be super busy and difficult to get a table!

When in Copenhagen, this is definitely a must try. You know how you’re supposed to keep trying different foods when you travel abroad so you can experience all kinds of things? Well I kept wanting to come back to Atlas Bar cause I couldnt get over how awfully delicious the salmon steak was. It comes with a side of salad, seaweed, and rice. I never would have expected this to become one of the best combinations ever, but of course it wouldnt work without whatever sauce Atlas came up with. While not cheap(Copenhagen is NOT a cheap city), its affordable compared to many places around. ALSO, water cost money here… so excuse to drink more wine and champagne! It’s a cozy place and the place gets packed fast, so there may be a wait. But there’s like a bar right around the corner so you could wait there if anything? But either way, the wait is worth is because the waitress is a sweetheart and the food is fantastic. My friends had the risotto, beet salad, and lamb, which were equally delicious. One of my favorite meals in Copenhagen. I know this is not a very descriptive review, but I just can’t describe the happiness I felt as I devoured my salmon. Just trust me and go.

Great unpretentious dominantly vegetarian restaurant in the bohemian quarter. One of my all time favorite restaurants. Over time I think the different courses have converging flavor but it’ll still be another couple of years before they reach 4 stars.

I am never good at making decisions so I had the waitress pick for me. I ended up with the beet roast with 3 salads and I was happy. My date, the nut roast, which I found to be even more delicious. He also had 2 out of 3 different salads than I did, which was a nice touch. Since the roasts come with 2 patties, we got to switch a loaf each and try each others food. Funny enough, he loved mine more and vice versa. The Asian salad that both came with was AWESOME! I loved the flavor and crunch. I got another salad that I liked(I think lentils?) and one not so much(shaved fennel? bland). The nut roast came with a beet salad(thanks for not overloading me iwth beets :) and a tomato-y one(yum). Cappu here was good! Boy enjoyed beer. We both enjoyed our server. She was super nice and gave us directions to the closest«big» movie theater.

What an amazing, flavorful restaurant. On my last visit to Copenhagen, I ate here 3 times in 4 days… and I’m not even a vegetarian. Delicious!!!

I noticed Atlas Bar when I was in high school in Copenhagen, Rysensteen. Being one of the first café/restaurants, it was always packed and had a great reputation. A few decades have past and Copenhagen is now buzzing with restaurants and cafees opening and closing before you even notice them. But Atlas Bar still manages to attract a crowd as the conscious-veggie-king of the Latin Quarters of Copenhagen. I went with a friend who lives just close by; she’s a meat eater and I mostly eat veggies, so it was the perfect spot for us. You need to look at the bars at the counter, as they act as boards with the menu written on them — one side veggie/vegan and the other meaty dishes. I ask what was good and they waiter promptly said the beet root balls with salad — so I went with that and my friend picked the lamb in apricot. The portions are HUGE — we could have easily shared one plate between the two of us, and it’s quite decent and tasty veggie food as well. Having visited Milfred’s in London, few veggie places stand a chance, but this is a decent Copenhagen option. If you’ve visited Café N in Blaagaardsgade in Noerrebro, you’d have an idea about what Atlas Bar is — and the two owners are actually cousins, so go figure. I really enjoyed myself and would certainly go another time, next time ordering a sharing plate to make room for dessert. If they are as good as they look, I’ll bring my next review up to 4 starts! Tip: Make sure to book a table as it’s difficult to get in without.

This is a pretty strong two star based on the food, but It’s still a two, based largely on service. Let’s start with the good — very tasty seafood risotto. It was actually risotto, it had four nice big delicious, properly cooked, good tasting scallops on top, with the right level of sear and no grit, and it was lots of veggies mixed in. In fact, almost too many veggies. Almost more stuff than risotto. So I would go back for this. Unfortunately, there was also a lot of not so good. We did show up a little late, and with a party of 7 but it was only after we had browsed menus for 15 minutes or so, and ordered a round of drinks, that we were informed that we should not all order a different item, because the oven is broken, so it’s going to take longer to cook everything. Uh. Kay. At which point someone mused, «if it’s broken… how are they cooking it? Like, how is it just going to take longer vs. take forever?» So, ok… we’ll all pick… uhm…stovetop dishes? Oh, and they are out of a ton of these dishes. At which point, she continually reminds us that the real menu is scrawled in chalk on a column over by the bar, with any items they are out of erased. Here’s the problem with that. Shame on me, I’m an ignorant American, and I can’t read Danish. I wish I could, but I can’t. Best I can do is see words that look like German words and make an educated guess. But when the foreign language I don’t speak that I’m trying to read is also written really poorly on a surface across the room, I’m not going to be able to read that. Sorry. The fact that we weren’t speaking to the waitress in Danish should have been a tip that we weren’t Danish speakers. Now, lest you think that this is an American complaining that people don’t all speak English, far from it. I’m embarrassed every time I go abroad and people talk to me in better English than my own. I just wanted a little more help from the waitress. In the end, it took well over an hour for the food to arrive, during which time we ordered more beers… only to find they were out of all those as well. Let’s recap. Why didn’t you, before seating a large party, comment that«Our oven is broken, we’re out of half the menu, and we’re running low on beer.» We almost certainly would have gone elsewhere, but I would at least have thanked them for their honesty. Instead, they did get some money… but also a bad review. Which I foolishly think will be devastating to their continued solvency.

Gutes Büfett. Für Kopenhagen überragendes Preis– Leistungsverhältnis.

A very popular and thoroughly unpretentious restaurant in this busy bohemian area of Copenhagen, which features a decent vegetarian menu alongside meat and fish dishes. The interior and furnishings are a little basic the glass topped tables have maps underneath and it is a little cramped. But despite the studenty feel, the clientele are mostly 30-somethings and upwards. We had a main course and beer, which came to DK200 a head, which is pretty good for Copenhagen. I chose the beetroot burgers, which were served with three salads and a yoghurt dressing. It was one of the best veggie meals I have had in a while great flavours, a range of textures and the burgers(made with beetroot and goats cheese) were something of a revelation.(I want the recipe) It was also deceptively filling. The only slight downer was that the cheerful and friendly staff weren’t very attentive. But overall, I’d be very happy to go back and would recommend it to vegetarians.

Übersichtliche Karte, was zeigt, dass das Essentatsächlich frisch zubereitet wird. Das Ambiente und der Service lassen ein wenig zu Wünschen übrig, kann man aber trotzdem durchaus mal machen. Für Kopenhagener Verhältnisse ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Zentral gelegene gute Lokalität zum Essen. Ambiente erinnert an der Versuch ein schicker Italiener zu sein. Die Küche leistet gute Arbeit und die Fischfrikadellen sind durchaus zu empfehlen. Insgesamt nur drei Sterne, da der Service der Bedienung zu wünschen übrig lässt!

absolut großartige küche mit besonders überzeugender vegetarischer abteilung auf der karte. familiäre atmosphäre, nette bedienung, riesige portionen: ein absolutes must have! tip: da das hier a) klein und deswegen b) eigentlich immer proppenvoll ist, lohnt sich eine reservierung im vorfeld.

Sehr schönes, kleines Restaurant mitten in Kopenhagen. Sehr gutes und für kopenhagener Verhältnisse preiswertes Essen + Trinken. Die Karte ist übersichtlich — aber es ist sicher für jeden etwas dabei. Gern wieder
