Jazzhus Montmartre

Top choice in Copenhagen


Saxing things up since the late 1950s, this is one of Scandinavia's great jazz venues, with past performers including Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster and Kenny Drew. Today, it continues to host local and international talent. On concert nights, you can also tuck into a decent, three-course set menu (325kr) at the cafe-restaurant from 6pm.
