Stylish Frederiksberg spot for polished modern European plates and standout brunch, with small portions and pricey extras; book ahead and expect creativity over comfort food.
Polly København delivers competitive neighborhood dining with solid food quality anchored by refined brunch classics and creative oyster preparations. However, inconsistent execution between brunch and dinner service and tight seating during peak hours prevent it from reaching grade A territory. The pleasant Frederiksberg setting and generally warm service make it worth a visit for those seeking contemporary Danish dining, though small portions and water charges warrant budget awareness.
Set on Gl. Kongevej, Polly feels cozy and polished rather than fussy. Servers are often warm and upbeat, though peak brunch can feel hurried with seating windows. One diner raved, "the hollandaise was silky and the room felt calm enough to chat." The cooking leans modern European with playful touches—think Thai-style oysters, risotto with fresh greens, and a cheeseburger with real bite. It suits diners who value seasonal ingredients and clean, contemporary flavors over showy plating. Portions skew small and seasoning can waver, but highlight dishes shine when the kitchen is in stride. For families, the menu is more accommodating than the vibe suggests: croques, fries, burgers, eggs, and simple salads keep kids happy. There is no kids menu, but plenty of familiar choices. Budget for add-ons and water, and avoid the busiest brunch slots if you need a slower pace.
