Brasserie Entré
Godthåbsvej 30
2000 Frederiksberg

Notes:
Godthåbsvej has seen a gastronomical blossoming recently, now hosting places like Meyers Deli, Det Rene Brød, and The Coffee Collective among others. One of the latest additions is Brasserie Entré, which opened its doors a few months ago opposite Axel Møllers Have and right next to Den Blå Hund. Apparently, it is also this neighboring café that has bought the old café spaces, made it into a decent French brasserie, and hired a chef from Michelin-starred Søllerød Kro to run the kitchen. 

I visited the place with my mother on a Friday for lunch. The menu is limited but featuring plenty of interesting and appealing choices. I opted for the beef tartare, while my mother went with the roasted asparagus with Rømø shrimps and smoked cheese. Before our dishes arrived we were served some gorgeous wholemeal rolls, fresh from the oven, alongside salted butter - wonderful. And the kitchen did not let our now high expectations down with the dishes we had ordered. My mother was extremely pleased with the asparagus and especially the addition of smoked cheese to the dish. As to my tartare, the beef was undoubtably of excellent quality, and structurally the dish was well put together. The only but was the ramson mayo, which did not really showcase much of an identity. All in all, the quality of the food was top notch and certainly worth the 120dkk we had payed each for our dishes - especially considering how this amount will only buy you boring nachos next door. The service was furthermore very attentive and friendly. In total a great experience, and I will most certainly return.
