cleo København

Cleo follows all the tropes of a neighborhood eatery—a relaxed, easy-breezy approach to nab an unassuming, diasporic, sashaying, sybaritic gastronome that happens to be within its vicinity. Attainable produce is given modernity. Adages of selected cocktails, natural and biodynamic wine intertwine with a menu that offers robust crowd-pleasers that are put through the flavour mill, becoming all killer no filler. Packing a punch, yet simultaneously exercising restraint; a contingency to be sequential, not to shirk from a canonical ability to strive for deliciousness. Outside on communal tables, cheek by jowl with your fellow chowhounds. Achiote, ’nduja, miso, jalapeño, and sesame are endemic accompaniments to a menu that satisfies both those who wish to share and those who don’t.

We ordered the 8-course tasting menu. I think it's disproportionately expensive considering many of the dishes are meant to be shared. The pizza bread was delicious. The fish dish had a lot of large bones, the salad was rather bland, but all the dishes had overpowering flavors that overpowered each other. If we ever return to this restaurant, it will definitely be to order the bread.

It seemed to be a popular restaurant, so it was crowded and we had to wait. We were told that we could sit on the terrace if we waited a little while, and when a table became available, we sat down on the terrace. However, another staff member came and told us that we couldn't sit there and that we had to go inside. We were then guided to a table at the very back, near the restrooms. The food was reasonably tasty, but it took a very long time to be served, and we were quite tired of waiting. If you're going to this place, you should go with plenty of time to spare.

Amazing food, we did the tasting menu for 2 and ordered a few extra starters as we wanted to try things - huge mistake! the tasting menu portions were far more generous than we'd expected and we could barely finish it. I'd recommnened 2 people sharing a tasting menu and getting a few extra courses to share. Great wine menu and really friendly staff. I'd come back here for food/drink again. The highlights were the cod mousse and the pork chop!

Really great food, in particular the pork chop and paneer skewers, but the poor service brings the rating down unfortunately. We waited like 20 minutes for drinks, 30 minutes in between dishes and had to ask for new plates, cutlery etc.

The food was unbelievably good in every sense. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. The Basque cheesecake was the perfect finish to the meal. I highly recommend this place, especially for groups!

Great place to dine in! The service was excellent, love the atmosphere and space. The food was also great!

Absolutely amazing. Haven't experienced that level in the 4-500 kr./fixed menu class in Copenhagen in at least the last 6-7 years. Chapeau 🧢 honorable mention for the bread - brilliant - and just fresh and summery all the way through - despite the huge broomstick of a pork chop that was sitting right in the (not broom) cupboard 🤘

Ambience perfect, service perfect, food a bit average. Except the sesame ice cream that was original. The cleo pizza was not even hot or acceptable, under my point of view

Was one of the best dinners I have ever had! The menu was perfect (even for a picky eater) and the service was very smooth and nice :) Had tons of fun and enjoyed our evening in cleo so much! The giant oyster mushrooms were 100/10
