Bof & Ost

About

Even if the food weren't good, we'd like to come here on a summer evening to occupy a cafe-style table overlooking Grey Friars Square. We consider this eatery the best people-watching place in Copenhagen. This neighborhood favorite created a bit of a buzz when it first opened in a 1728 building constructed over cellars from a medieval monastery. But that buzz has long died down as fickle foodies have found newer places other than "Beef & Cheese" to pamper their stomachs. But, even though abandoned by the media in search of something new, the place still turns out food as good as it was the day it opened. The lobster soup still wins us over, and we often follow with some of the best beef tenderloin steaks in town. After all, Bøf & Ost has to live up to its namesake. The cheese in its name is justified when a platter with six different selections of the best cheese in the country arrives for you to devour with crusty and freshly baked bread.
