Copenhagen is a restaurant mecca. Especially the mid-range priced restaurants where you can get a set menu for less than 500 kr (The now closed one-star Michelin restaurant relæ was incredibly in that range)

There are some chains that specialize in that mid-range. We have Cofoco (noticeable in their chain is Llama) we have Copenhagen Concepts, who was initiated by one of the godfathers of modern cusine in Denmark, Francis Cardenau (who gave Denmark’s its first two star Michelin restaurant with Kommedanten) and the two entrepreneurs Jesper Boelskifte og Erik Gemal who had the gourmet lighthouses and now closed Le Sommelier and Umami in their empire, today they have the gargantuan chain MASH in their portfolio (Cardenau have retired from the frontlines of gourmet world, but he is still around). There is a couple of other (eg. Lertchai og Henrik Yde-Andersen Thai gourmet chain Kiin Kiin, with the flagship restaurant claiming a star in 13 years and there is also the two separate sushi chains Sticks and Sushi and Letz Sushi)
And then there is the bearnaise king Rasmus Oubæk (who worked for Francis Cardenau in MASH) and his partner Jesper Madirazza-Marcussen chain, they have the steakhouse chain Retour, Restaurant Maison, Pluto, Barabba and Gorilla in their chain.

This day my wife and I ate at Gorilla.

Without a doubt it’s a cost-benefit restaurant. What is the acceptable cheapest for the price that gives us as customers an good-ish experience. It’s the same set menu as we seen in the other “new nordic” restaurants in Copenhagen. Honestly it was quite forgettable, and if I did not have the pictures I wouldn’t have remembered. The less is more plating with simple seasonal dishes. It kind of works. Not top quality foods, but more the cheapest kinds. Your product is only as good as the produces, and here the product was kind-off mediocre

We were waited by young hipster dudes (man-bun, tattoos up the arm and that annoying lets-be-friends idea of service attitude) with identical Hawaii shirts. The plates and interior could have been bought at IKEA (but I don't think so)

I will probably come back (I have after this experience) if I am in the area, need something to eat at I can do a walk in. Only because of the prices.
