I found Café Daisy in a guide book and decided to go in spite of the name, which in my humble estimation could use a little bit more pep. I took along my good old friend Stein as an escort, because he is Norwegian, speaks Danish and could therefore be a good guide to an esoteric menu of smoked herring and other such things. I was prepared for the worst, but as it turned out food at Café Daisy isn't bad at all.

Cafè Daisy has tables also in the small, very pleasant garden, and the inside is simple and tasteful, although not particularly original (the sort of interior a guy who chooses a name like Café Daisy would choose).

The food is mostly cold meats or fish accompanied by vegetables and the like. The variety and the quality are good. I would suggest that you try the Danish Special (assorted cold meats) and Frikadellen (meat balls and other meats). A pleasant surprise was also the bread. Obviously made in situ, it's typycal northern European stuff, for example black bread with nuts and white bread with carrots. Some of us would also appreciate the beers, Tuborg and Carlsberg on tap, of course, but also other Scandinavian varieties like Giraf and Elephant. Alas, Cafè Daisy is not cheap. I would say you won't get away without paying less than five thousand yen.
Pros: Pleasant, relaxing, with a garden. Good food and interesting bread.
Cons: A little expensive

Café Daisy has its own Web site.
