Café Olai

I have mixed feelings about this place. The place is very homey and relaxed, but customers are paying a quite high price, so I am not sure that is fair that you need to go to the cashier and place your order and cue in a line. I'm not sure how things work in Denmark, but if it's normal then it's okay. I just feel like they should take orders from the table instead of customers lining up.

The food is on the good side. The servings are really big. We tried burgers, stew, and steaks. All of these foods were good. They offered us their Christmas menu and this is where the bad experience came through. 😅 it's not good. Just so-so

Very charming and cozy cafe. Friendly staff, average prices and delightful smørrebrød. Can clearly recommend!

Delicious! The staff was friendly and the food was amazing! They had vegetarian options and all the combinations of their smørrbrød were great! Cozy, closed back patio and indoor seating options. They have coffee, tea, and alcohol all good! A great place to stop by for brunch or lunch while in the area for tourists, but plenty of locals we're there too! Only warning is they are big portions! I'd recommend 1-2 for a regular sized meal, more or the sampler plate only if you're feeling really hungry! Great plates to share and try more too.

I loved this place at first sight, very cozy, very local. We tried stew and burger, both were nice and came in large portions. Staff were very friendly, and location is close to a large parking house.

Got the combo smorrebrod plate which I initially thought was a bit pricy but it showed up and was probably enough for two! Was really good for my first smorrebrod experience and portions were huge. Came with smoked salmon and egg with lots of dill, beef, fried fish, chicken salad and bacon and lots of fresh veggies plus side of bread - our neighbour said we were definitely in Denmark with these portions, just wow! Husband got the meatballs which were really good as well. You do have to go up and order yourself which I thought was odd but glad we stayed. Great spot for filling up!

We were recommended by local guy on Central Station. He said that at this cafe very tasty Danish food. And he was so right! This place is cosy and relatively cheap. The food is incredibly delicious and portions are huge. We paid 130 DKK for meal and tea.

Authentic traditional Danish dishes. The place is absolutely lovely. The food is good and reasonably priced.

We had a wonderful experience at Cafe Olai! We stumbled upon it after traveling to Helsingør to visit the Kronborg Castle. It is a great place for travelers to try traditional Danish dishes in a very cozy and inviting atmosphere. The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and had many recommendations. My partner and I both got the Smørrebrød sampler, which was a great way to try different Danish foods. Our server even gave us a free sample of his homemade Schnapps, which was delicious and a fun addition to our meal! I highly recommend Cafe Olai to anyone in the area!!

Delicious and beautifully danish style open sandwiches 🇩🇰 warmly recommend eating here. Sweet and attentive service also.

Kristian was really fast on replying and very kind and understanding with us.
He and his staff were excellent, really assertive and really attentive. The food was excellent with plenty of options. We could order not only non-vegetarian food but also vegetarian dishes. All of them were exquisite. The Smørrebrød was really filling and tasty.
The beers were really tasty and the homemade shots were impressive and really good.
The place is cozy and it is full of life! xD
Definitely a must when you go to Helsingor.

Cosy place, friendly staff, good beer selection and food. Nothing to complain about :)

super friendly staff, was trying to hide away from cold & hv a hot chocolate only... they let me charge my phone, too.... so at last i spend quite some time there with the yummy meatballs, thank you !! Nice food & service, would like to try their burger next time coz when i m about to go, all locals rush in & everyone ordering their burgers... looks mouth-drooling 🤤🤤

Really good food and reasonable price.

Good food. Has a nice backyard on sunny days and is very child friendly.

Great attentive service and even better real Danish food. We went for lunch in this Bistro like cafe and it was the best food I had for quite a while.

The food was delicious!
