Copenhagen: Breakfast at Polly

Polly, breakfast in Copenhagen

Polly is a new café on the busiest stretch of Gl. Kongevej. We ordered avocado toast with chorizo, Eggs Royale (Eggs Benedict with salmon), granola bowl and green juices and coffee. The avocado toast was really nice, and so was the granola bowl, but the hollandaise sauce for the Eggs Royale was so salty I had to spit out the bite I had stolen from my breakfast companion’s plate. Apparently, the table next to ours had the same issue with overly salty hollandaise and had just sent back their plate, when we took our first bite.

The issue was taken care of immediately, and the staff apologized sincerely and told us that our drinks would be on the house, and I was reminded of one of the things I like about service in Denmark; that staff are allowed to think for themselves and make decisions based on the obvious. In other parts of the world such an incidence would in most cases require speaking to a manager, who would then probably have to speak to another manager, and the coffee would have turned cold, before getting anywhere. Apology accepted, and Polly, I’ll be back!

Hotels in Scandinavia – Simple, Stylish, and Surprisingly Cozy

Scandinavia knows how to do hotels. Think clean design, great lighting, and that effortless mix of form and function that just works—whether you're staying in a chic city hotel in Copenhagen or a remote lodge up north with nothing but forest and fjords outside your window.

From budget-friendly stays that don’t feel basic to boutique hotels with all the hygge vibes, there’s something for every kind of trip. And yes, breakfast is usually worth waking up for.

Here’s a link to check out hotels across Scandinavia, including Denmark, Sweden, and Norway—hope you find a spot that makes you want to stay a little longer.
