Restaurant Anton
Step into the historic Grandjean’s Courtyard from 1853 and discover Restaurant Anton – a place where Danish culinary traditions are brought to life in new ways. Here, you’ll be treated to classic smørrebrød with a modern Nordic twist, served on beautiful Royal Copenhagen porcelain.
Enjoy your meal in atmospheric surroundings with hand-painted wall decorations and a touch of Scandinavian romance in the air. Perfect for a special lunch or a slow-paced evening.
To complete the experience, choose a glass of the exclusive 2015 Cuvée Novecento from Contratto 1867. This sparkling wine offers elegant notes of nectarine, citrus, and freshly baked bread – a natural pairing with the season’s dishes.
Restaurant Barr
Right on Copenhagen’s harbourfront, inside the historic North Atlantic House, you’ll find Restaurant Barr – a place where North and Central European food traditions are brought to life in new ways.
You’ll dine in the former Noma space, now transformed into a warm and modern restaurant with stone walls, wood, textiles, and Scandinavian design that invites you to relax and connect.
The menu is a heartfelt interpretation of what Barr calls the “North Sea kitchen,” where you can enjoy classics like Danish meatballs and schnitzel – served with finesse and personality. And you won’t leave thirsty: the drinks list includes carefully selected craft beers, aquavit, and wines that perfectly complement the dishes.
Restaurant Høst
At Restaurant Høst in the heart of Copenhagen, you can enjoy Nordic gourmet cuisine in beautiful, rustic surroundings – without breaking the bank. The restaurant is located in the charming Nansensgade neighbourhood near the lakes and is part of Cofoco’s popular family of restaurants.
The focus is on the best seasonal ingredients from the Nordic kitchen. Look forward to dishes featuring everything from lobster and beef to Danish cheeses aged by the winds of the North Sea – all served with care and attention to detail.
Fishmarket
In the heart of Copenhagen, you’ll find Fishmarket – a lively and informal seafood bistro where French inspiration meets seasonal Nordic ingredients. The focus is on fresh fish and shellfish, prepared with simplicity, care, and full-bodied flavour.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the carefully curated wine list is designed to complement every dish. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual lunch or a dinner with a little extra flair, Fishmarket is the kind of place you’ll want to return to.
Restaurant 1733
Just a 15-minute scenic walk from the hotel, you’ll find Restaurant 1733 – a true Copenhagen gem located by the Slotsholmen Canal, with beautiful views of Christiansborg Palace. Here, classic Danish cuisine is served in warm and informal surroundings, where tradition and quality go hand in hand.
The menu features traditional smørrebrød crafted with precision, passion, and a touch of nostalgia – and the portions are generous, just as they should be. A perfect spot for a relaxed lunch or dinner in historic surroundings.
The Union Kitchen
Just a 10-minute walk from 71 Nyhavn Hotel, you’ll find The Union Kitchen – a lively and laid-back spot right by Nyhavn where you’ll quickly feel at home. It’s the perfect place to start your day with a great cup of coffee, enjoy a tasty lunch, or wind down in the evening with a cocktail in atmospheric surroundings.
With its relaxed yet stylish vibe and the combination of café, restaurant, and cocktail bar, it’s a favourite meeting place for both locals and visitors.
At Llama, you’re taken on a culinary journey through South America – from Peru and Bolivia to Mexico and Chile. The flavours are bold and colourful, yet always rooted in respect for Nordic ingredients that bring it all together.
The restaurant offers a warm and vibrant setting with colourful Mexican tiles, soft lighting, and space for everything from intimate dinners to larger gatherings – with capacity for up to 180 guests.
