Local tips
- Book well in advance for prime evening times, especially if you want the private room or semi-private table for a special occasion.
- Opt for the longer tasting menu if you enjoy surprise courses and want to experience the full range of seasonal dishes and pairings.
- Advise the restaurant of dietary requirements when reserving; the menu is set, so advance notice helps the kitchen adapt.
- Allow a relaxed evening of at least three hours; courses are paced to let you linger rather than rush through the experience.

Harvest-Driven Nordic Dining in the City Center
Høst takes its name from the Danish word for “harvest”, a clue to its culinary philosophy. The kitchen builds its menus around seasonal Nordic produce: roots and brassicas in the cold months, delicate greens and berries when the days grow long, and seafood from nearby waters throughout the year. You come here not to order à la carte, but to settle in for a multi-course journey where the ingredients and seasons set the rhythm. The restaurant focuses on refined yet approachable fine dining. Tasting menus of three or five courses are the backbone of the experience, often expanded with a series of small, unannounced dishes that appear between courses. Plates highlight a balance of land and sea – scallops, brown crab or shrimp might share the table with cabbage, peas or gooseberries, while beef or salmon arrive dressed in clever contrasts of acidity, smoke and creaminess.Rustic Brick, Danish Design and Candlelight
Høst occupies the ground floors of a classic Copenhagen apartment building on the corner of Nørre Farimagsgade and Ahlefeldtsgade. Inside, raw brick walls, timber details and worn tabletops are offset by clean-lined Danish design chairs and soft textiles. The result is a space that feels both urban and farmhouse at once – intimate without being fussy, minimalist but never cold. The dining rooms are gently broken up by split levels, nooks and alcoves, so even on a busy evening you are tucked into your own pocket of the restaurant. Candlelight, muted tones and simple stoneware plates keep the focus on the food and conversation. A private dining room and a semi-private table offer options for groups, yet the overall scale remains human and cosy rather than grand.Structured Menus and Thoughtful Pairings
Dinner is served in the evening only, with arrivals spread across early and later seatings. Once seated, you choose a set menu length and then decide whether to add wine pairings or a non-alcoholic juice menu built around Nordic flavours such as berries, herbs and botanicals. Filtered water, coffee, tea and house-made snaps round out the offering. Dishes are plated in relatively small portions so that you can enjoy a series of flavours without feeling overwhelmed. A lightly smoked scallop with cucumber and horseradish might precede a shellfish soup infused with herbs, followed by a cabbage “taco” filled with shrimp and gooseberries, and a main of salmon or beef with carefully layered textures. Desserts often weave in forest or orchard elements, like preserved cones, tart berries or caramel notes, providing a distinctly regional full stop to the meal.Location, Setting and Practical Details
Høst’s central address makes it easy to fold into a wider exploration of Copenhagen. The neighbourhood blends everyday city life with creative businesses, with cyclists passing the windows and the glow of the dining room spilling gently onto the street after dark. Inside, seating is compact and multi-level, with some staircases between rooms; this adds charm and privacy but may be challenging for those who are unsteady on their feet. The restaurant operates as an evening destination rather than an all-day venue, so the atmosphere builds slowly from the first arrivals into a gently buzzing room by mid-evening. With a capacity that allows around sixty guests on one level plus an intimate private room, it is well suited to special occasions, date nights or simply an indulgent dinner in the city.Design Accolades and Nordic Character
Beyond the food, Høst is known for its design. Its interior has been recognised with international awards for restaurant and bar design, and often appears in discussions of Copenhagen’s most atmospheric dining rooms. The interplay of industrial surfaces, rustic textures and carefully chosen Danish furniture captures a contemporary Nordic aesthetic that many travellers seek out. Taken together – the harvest-led menus, composed plating, candlelit brickwork and relaxed but polished service style – Høst offers a distinctly Copenhagen take on fine dining. It is a place to experience modern Scandinavian cuisine in surroundings that feel both thoughtfully designed and warmly lived-in, anchoring an evening that lingers in the memory long after you step back into the city night.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
