Hi
again! I have been very busy lately and I had to take break from the blog. The
list of cafes I want to write is becoming longer and longer but there just does
not seem to be time for writing. After
my recent trip to Copenhagen there has been especially one particular place I
have wanted to share. During my trip I found a clear favourite café and a
highlight of Copenhagen – an extraordinary place with absolutely delicious
coffee and food. This place is the Royal Smushi Café. A café that captured me
in so many ways!
According
to their website the founders of the Royal Smushi Café had felt that many cafes
are nowadays too predictable and similar to each other and wanted to create a
stunning experience with a soul. They describe the style of the café as funky baroque
– design confusion, humorous, and chic. The funky interior design of the café
is of course the first thing you seen when you enter. The place is full of details but still the
overall feeling is very bright and beautiful. There are big portraits and wall
paintings on the walls together with smaller humorous and funky design items. I really admire their ability to create such a chic place - with all these different elements it is not self-evident at all to get this kind of atmosphere.
After
tasting their cappuccino and raspberry chocolate mousse cake my opinion was clear:
the Royal Smushi Café was love from the first cup. The cappuccino tasted
amazing and the coffee cup was perfect (the cup was from next door porcelain
shop the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain). The cake was definitely the best I had in
Copenhagen. The combination of chocolate, raspberry, and coconut chips was
absolutely heavenly and although it seemed like a big piece it was eaten to the
last crumb.
On their
menu, you find “Smushi”, their signature sandwiches created by using the two
words “smørrebrød” and “sushi”. Apparently their food is amazing too. While
there I discovered that the Royal Smushi Café is and has been recommended by
the Michelin Guide for many years in a row. I should definitely start reading
the Michelin guide more carefully! I had no idea of this in advance and it was
actually an accident that I ended up in the Royal Smushi Café. Before my trip
to Copenhagen I had received some tips of must go cafes in Copenhagen but no
one had mentioned about the Royal Smushi Café. After my experience I will be
sure to recommend this place to everyone going to Copenhagen. Go there! The
place is actually right in the centre of Copenhagen, at the Amager Square. This is also the main shopping/turistic area
so you should not miss it.
By the
way Copenhagen was very windy – the new record 54 m/s wind hit Denmark during
my trip there. Luckily when the storm hit I was safe inside at a café with a
cup of coffee and a big piece of cake in front of me. The storm did not bother
me that much J
