The short version
- Four places have published a 2026 menu: Nyhavns Færgekro, Cap Horn, Havfruen and Hummer.
- Prices: from 755 DKK for three courses early in the evening to 1,195 DKK for the whole night.
- None of the four stays open past midnight. They close between 22:30 and 23:45, so you can get out to the quay or Kongens Nytorv.
- Havfruen only takes bookings with the New Year's menu, so you can't simply order from the regular menu that night.

The other places on the quay, including Barock, Skipperkroen, Nyhavn 37, Heering, Marleys Diner, Nyhavn 41, Gorm's, Brasserie Nyhavn 17 and Judie, had not published a 2026 menu when we checked on 7 November 2026, and we'll update this page when they do.
Wine and kransekage
Nyhavns Færgekro has wine pairings at 495 or 695 DKK, and Cap Horn at 595 or 895 DKK. At Hummer, four glasses of wine cost 500 DKK and a full package costs 600 DKK. At Havfruen, you buy drinks on the night. Both Færgekroen and Cap Horn sell kransekage (the Danish New Year's almond ring cake) with a bottle of champagne to go for 500 DKK, so you can take it outside for midnight.
Lunch on New Year's Eve
Prefer to eat in the middle of the day? Nyhavns Færgekro and Cap Horn serve their regular lunch menu on 31 December. The last lunch table is at 15:00, and the New Year's menu starts at 17:00.
Coming as a group?
Færgekroen and Cap Horn want an enquiry if you are more than seven, and Havfruen if you are more than six. Get in touch early.
And then midnight
None of the four restaurants stays open past midnight, so the new year is toasted outside. Cap Horn points out on its own page that the fireworks can be enjoyed from Kongens Nytorv when it closes at 23:45. Where to stand, the rules on fireworks and how to get home are in New Year's Eve in Nyhavn. Visiting over Christmas too? See what's open at Christmas.
How we checked
Menus, prices and times come from the restaurants' own websites and booking pages, checked on 7 November 2026. For Hummer, the year 2026 is shown on the booking page. Menus and prices can change, so check with the restaurant when you book. No restaurant pays to be listed.
How much is a New Year's Eve menu in Nyhavn in 2026?
From 755 DKK for three courses at 17:00–19:30 at Nyhavns Færgekro and Cap Horn to 1,195 DKK for the whole night at the same places. Havfruen charges 795 DKK and Hummer 995 DKK. Drinks are extra.
Which Nyhavn restaurants are open until midnight on New Year's Eve?
None of the four with a New Year's menu. Færgekroen closes at 23:45 after a toast, Cap Horn at 23:45, Hummer at 23:30 and Havfruen at 22:30. That leaves time to get out for the fireworks.

Can I book a table without the New Year's menu?
