Café Ketchup Review

Set within the direct sightline of Tivoli's biggest stage, and loaded with contented or animated drinkers during concerts, this is the most consistently popular middle-bracket restaurant in Tivoli, the grounds of which are loaded with worthy competitors. It radiates outward like the spokes of a wheel from a central Beaux Arts core, a glass-ceilinged pavilion ringed with covered terraces, a boon whenever it rains. If there's a trendy lounge-bar within Tivoli that's favored by the young, the beautiful, and the restless, this is it. Some paparazzi hang out here in summer, hoping to catch a visiting celebrity picking his (or her) nose. In fact, it might remind you of the postmodern hip of a secluded bar in such newly fashionable outlying districts as Nørrebro, but with more flowers and an enhanced sense of whimsy. There's a nearly hallucinogenic collection of cocktails offered (martinis, sours, juleps, and more). The cuisine is competent without being great. The best food items include Brittany oysters with lemon and shallot-flavored vinegar; mussels in a Pernod-flavored cream sauce with fennel and summer onions; miso-baked halibut with spinach and garlic-flavored potatoes; venison with sautéed foie gras; and pear-flavored sorbet with Danish raspberries and cream.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
