Review: I agree with the reviewer below who said "lukewarm" and "not great for vegans."
The best vegan items in the buffet were the hummus and falafel, and besides typical salad bar options there really wasn't that much else of note. That said, the hummus was tasty, so at least it has that going for it.
What we couldn't understand was why RizRaz doesn't offer two buffet stations when it's crowded. We stood in line for 20 minutes to get to the buffet, and that time could've been cut in half if they would set up a second buffet station. They have plenty of space in the rambling two-story building, so we couldn't fathom why they wouldn't do this.
One other complaint: it was difficult to tell which of the buffet items were vegan, as they weren't labeled and the busy staff were running around and difficult to catch.
We came here because we had some die-hard carnivores in our group; they were well satisfied (and two of them even chose the vegetarian buffet and enjoyed it), so it's a reasonable option for "mixed company," as it were.
Pros: reasonably priced buffet * good hummus *
Cons: 20-minute wait in buffet queue * vegan options not obvious * quite noisy |

Review: went to CPH in april; am a long time vegan. the food at riz raz was luke warm in every way. I didn't experience any rude service. The place was clean, the staff let people go up to the buffet as many times as they wanted, and we were certainly allowed to linger. However, there weren't too many options for vegans. Unless you are a dieting vegan or a vegan who wants to live on falafel and pasta, Riz Raz just doesn't have much for the average vegan (there were much better options for vegetarians). The healthy salads were boring (and not substantial enough when you have been running all over CPH)--for example, shredded marinated beets, or mixed sprouts, and there wasn't much else that I could trust was vegan b-side some angel hair pasta with tomato sauce (served lukewarm) and falafel (without any garnishing, also lukewarm). There were no options for protein or leafy greens, no hot, vegan complex carbs to provide the energy and stamina needed for the physicality of CPH. If you are looking for good vegan food to sustain yourself, this is not the place, though, it is certainly friendly and affordable and in a great location and might not be a bad option if you have been getting your protein and complex carbs elsewhere. You should also note that places often close earlier than posted at will in CPH. Don't expect to eat dinner after 10 PM.
Pros: all you can eat vegetarian buffet * relatively inexpensive for CPH * great location
Cons: close early * limited vegan options * |

Review: nice smallish vegetarian buffet in the town's centre. fresh food (and yummily hot when supposed to be), reasonable pricing (not cheap, but nothing in cph is...), although could have more cheaper beer...
Pros: excellent food * fresh food *
Cons: not on the cheap side * * |

Review: i've been to the other RizRaz location several times, but this only once and i certainly won't be returning. the staff were so rude to us from the moment we stepped in the door! when we asked to order at the bar, they snapped at us to sit down and wait for the waiting staff, and we sat there for maybe 20 minutes, while they were taking out plates. two other couples came in and they had their orders taken before us.
when they brought out our beverages, they slammed the glasses down and they were very unwilling of helping us with what in the buffe was vegan. go to Den Grønne Kælder instead, and if you absolutely want to try the RizRaz buffe - go to RizRiz Brun instead. the service and the food is better there. the falafel is extraordinary, and the hummus (sometimes vegan and sometimes it contains yoghurt, so ask!) is good also good. the rest is just bland. it looks much better than it is.
Pros: good falalfel and hummus * pretty cheap *
Cons: bad service! * hummus sometimes not vegan * personnel not knowledgable |

Review: My wife and I ate at RizRaz many time during September October 2008. Even the carnivores we took along with us loved the vegetarian food.Eating out in Denmark is usually expensive so @ 69DKr lunch & 89DKr dinner RizRaz was a pleasant surprise, loved the food and really good value.
Definetly the word has got out as RizRaz was always very busy
Pros: Easy to find * healthy cuisine * friendly staff
Cons: so many tempting dishes too choose from * * |

Review: Each time we have visited Copenhagen we have been delighted with RizRaz. It's not easy to find veg-friendly restaurants in this city, but RizRaz was an awesome find; delicious Mediterranean-style buffet, nice decor, and affordable.
Pros: good food * good value *

Review: Was here in September 2007. Ate here a couple times, and both times, the buffet spread consisted of the same items... usually a dozen cold salad bar items and maybe 4 hot dishes, plus bread. The bread is tasty as are the falafels. Also good hummus and feta cheese salad.
The price is very cheap for Copenhagen (and for an all-you-can-eat buffet). Recommended when in Copenhagen.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: This is a very handy place. It's located centrally close to the Rathaus, Tivoli and the main shopping drag. It's not 100% veg*n but the long opening hours make it a very useful place to eat in the evenings and on Sundays. Staff are very pleasant.
Pros: Extended opening hours * *
Cons: Not 100% veg*n * * |
