Reviews

We entered Keyser social walking through a beautiful décor and taken away by the aroma of spicy candles filling up the atmosphere. We were a group of 10 and sat at a long table at the back of the restaurant where the area was separated and everyone was able to comfortably talk with each other. We had the menu presented to us in detail, offering also vegan options & non alcoholic mocktails. The food was delicious, balancing flavours and enhancing texture throughout all the dishes without a fail. The customer service was impeccable! We had an incredible experience, highly recommended.

Went for the omakase Sunday dinner and thoroughly enjoyed. The dishes came out 3-4 at a time, gradually getting larger by the round. The highlight was the Tom Yum soup - so good. Nearly all dishes hit though and I imagine we’ll be back at some point.

Some of the best food I have had at a non-Micelin restaurant. Everything was great and the ribs were aboslutely amazing. The wine meny was good too. The only downside was the (lack of) choice of beers which is at best could be described as mundane.

I just had dinner at Keyser social the other night and have to say, that it was an all around great experience. The service was super friendly and professional and even tho I don’t speak Danish, they explained all the dishes in great detail and were really helpful in general. I tried the 10 course set menu and they easily accommodate for vegetarians and vegans, which I was really happy to hear about. The food came out pretty much always at the perfect time and both taste and variety were amazing (same goes to the mocktails I got with my food). Also can’t complain about the amount of food, it was definitely enough to not leave hungry, but you could also finish everything without feeling uncomfortably full. So thank you for an amazing dining experience in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Good experience – 13 small servings, most of them “finger food.” You might not get completely “Noma-tized” by the food, or feel that the young waiters’ wine knowledge goes much beyond what’s written on their cards – and yes, the restaurant is quite busy – but it still leaves you with a huge smile on your face. The young staff were super fast, funny, and eager to give us a great evening, and the food was delicious and well made! Yes, it gets a bit expensive if you add the wine pairing menu, and yes, 30 DKK for water per person is always too much – but overall, we had a fantastic night with many great food “moments.” We definitely recommend Keyser Social for a fun evening with people you love to hang out with.

They have really cool set menus here. The food is really delicious, the atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant, the lighting is subdued. I liked the cocktails. Highly recommend it. I love places like this.
