Food Style? Danish Pub

My travel buddy Theo has returned to London so I'm by myself again. I want some classic Danish food before I leave Copenhagen, so I give this hearty restaurant a go.

Mains


Slices of roast pork with boiled potatoes, gravy and salad of pickled cucumber
The pork comes out very quickly. Too quickly, I think to myself. It hasn't been sliced very well, but I'm willing to forgive that if it tastes good. It sure does, especially with that nice meaty sauce, but the meat is slightly dry and the all-important crackling is not very crispy, contradicting many reviews I've read about this place. I might be here on an off day for the restaurant, but I'm not pleased. The pickled red cabbage, pickled cucumber and potatoes are quite nice though, but not enough to make me happy. How disappointing!

Dessert


Chocolate cake "Marcel" with pickled blackberries
I'm hoping this chocolate cake will turn the meal around for me. It's incredibly dense, almost like fudge cake, but it's so decadently rich. Almost too rich; it tastes much better with a scoop of the pickled blackberry. I think there is too much icing, it's almost a third of the height of the cake.
