Discover more about Gro Eatery

Perched atop an industrial building in Østerbro, Gro Eatery (Gro Spiseri) fuses inventive Nordic cuisine with the authentic sights, scents, and spirit of urban agriculture. The restaurant is not simply surrounded by greenery—it is part of ØsterGro, Denmark’s first rooftop farm and a pioneering example of city-based sustainability. From the moment guests ascend to the rooftop, they’re immersed in a landscape of raised beds brimming with organic vegetables, herbs, flowers, and even beehives, all carefully tended to in tune with the Danish seasons. Inside a warm, glass-fronted greenhouse, communal wooden tables are set for a nightly tasting menu that pays homage to the day’s harvest. Expect beautifully inventive dishes built around freshly picked produce—think heirloom tomatoes with wild herbs, or crisp radishes served with local cheeses and foraged wild additions—while meats, fish, and grains are sourced from Copenhagen’s eco-conscious growers and butchers. As courses unfold, diners can watch farmers tending to crops outside, under a canopy of string lights, and take in sweeping city views from this elevated oasis. Dining at Gro Eatery is about more than just the food: it’s a social experience shaped by Danish hygge and the shared ethos of sustainability and innovation. The menu changes regularly, reflecting the shifting micro-seasons of Denmark. Seats are limited and meals feel like an intimate gathering among friends, punctuated by stories from the staff about the farm’s journey and the day’s harvest. It’s a rare place that brings visitors face-to-face with the promise of urban farming while offering a culinary adventure rooted in locality and respect for nature.
