Bryggeriet Flakhaven is one of the restaurants run by the
Flakhaven Brewery. Situated in the old City Hall building, it’s conveniently located
and windows look out into the city centre. The restaurant’s website provides a
delightful recount of the building’s history: it once held the famous author,
H.C. Andersen’s, grandmother prisoner as she had a baby out of wedlock; these
same dungeons have now been transformed into the brewery.
Their menu consists of hearty dishes that pairs with well
with, not surprisingly, beer. The small order of spare ribs (175 DKK) was huge
- an entire rack of soft moist ribs. They appeared to be baked rather than
smoked or grilled so lacked the strong charcoal scent, but were still succulent
and tasty. Served with a baked potato, forgettable coleslaw and two large
canisters of barbecue & steak sauce (think of the peppery Worcestershire laced
HP sauce), I could dip to my heart’s content.
The Brewery’s burger (159 DKK) seems to be a popular dish as
almost every table had an order. They certainly didn’t skimp on toppings, the
steak patty was topped with bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce, red onions and
pickles. Thick roasted potato wedges and a generous portion of mustard mayonnaise
finished off the dish.
Being a person who loves choice, their three beer tasting
flight (59 DKK) was perfect. Containing the popular pilsner, brown ale and a
seasonal brew, the Weizen-bock, it was a nice selection of flavours and
richness.
Bryggeriet’s dining room is bright and airy, more like a cozy brunch place than brewery. Additionally, unlike other similar restaurants, which tends to be huge, their dining room only consists of a dozen tables so make reservations to avoid disappointment. It’s a quaint environment, ideal for relaxing and people watching, and great for admiring their beautiful copper distilling equipment.
