Høst

Top choice in Copenhagen


Høst's phenomenal popularity is easy to understand: award-winning interiors and New Nordic food that's equally fabulous and filling. The set menu is superb, with smaller 'surprise dishes' thrown in and evocative creations like birch-smoked scallops with horseradish and green beans, or a joyful blueberry sorbet paired with Norwegian brown cheese and crispy caramel.

If you're watching your pennies, keep an eye on the price of the wines by the glass, some of which can add significantly to the bill. Always book ahead, especially later in the week.
