What guests say

The fish, the smørrebrød and the canal-side terrace are well regarded, but service draws uneven feedback.

Good to know

Light, minimalist interior with views of Nyhavn, an open courtyard and a summer terrace on the quay.
The lunch menu includes stjerneskud (168 kr.) and grilled langoustines (225 kr.).
In the evening fish dishes such as sole steamed in white wine sit alongside rib eye.
House rules: at least one dish per person, and the bill can't be split.

Checked on the venue's own site and in the press, October 2026.

Practical

How to get there.

Metro: Kongens Nytorv (M1, M2, M3, M4) — about 2 min walk along the quay.
Bus: Several bus lines stop at Kongens Nytorv, at the end of the canal.
Bike: Lock your bike at Kongens Nytorv and walk the last stretch along the quay.
Accessibility: Several Nyhavn restaurants are in cellars with steps down — ask the venue about steps and toilets.
Cash & cards: Most places take cards; some add a card fee. Service is included in Danish prices, so tipping is optional.

Other places nearby

Three more along the quay.
