Restaurant Silo, Nordhavn Rooftop Dining
Sky-high dining in a converted Nordhavn grain silo, where Nordic-meets-French cooking, crafted cocktails and panoramic harbor views define the experience.
Perched high above Copenhagen’s Nordhavn waterfront, Restaurant Silo transforms a former grain silo into a sleek 17th‑floor restaurant and bar with sweeping views over the Øresund and city skyline. Inside, floor‑to‑ceiling windows, Nordic-modern design and soft lighting frame refined dishes that blend Scandinavian and French influences, from carefully plated seafood and seasonal vegetables to rich meat mains and decadent desserts. A separate bar floor pours inventive cocktails and Danish-inflected drinks, making Silo as much a destination for sunset drinks as for multi-course dinners and long, leisurely lunches.

Local tips
- Reserve well ahead and request a window table if views are a priority, especially around sunset when the harbor and city skyline are at their most dramatic.
- Plan for higher-end pricing: consider the set evening menu with wine pairing for a cohesive experience, or opt for bar snacks and cocktails upstairs for a lighter spend.
- Allow extra time to enjoy the bar floor either before or after your meal; it often feels less formal and is ideal for soaking in the views with a signature cocktail.
- Mention any dietary requirements when booking; the kitchen can usually adapt courses for vegetarians or other needs if notified in advance.
- Dress smart-casual rather than overly formal; you will feel comfortable among both celebratory groups and couples out for a special night.

Discover more about Restaurant Silo
A converted grain silo above Copenhagen’s new waterfront
Once a functional industrial silo in Nordhavn, this striking tower now houses one of Copenhagen’s most atmospheric rooftop dining rooms. Restaurant Silo occupies the 17th floor of the building, rising above newly built canals, quays and apartment blocks on the city’s northern harbor edge. The lift doors open directly into a warm, glass-wrapped space, where the curve of the original concrete structure contrasts with clean-lined furniture and contemporary lighting. From almost every table, your eye is pulled outward to water, ships and the low, coppery rooftops of Copenhagen stretching into the distance. Nordhavn is one of the city’s most ambitious redevelopment projects, transforming old docklands into a sustainable urban district. Silo sits at its heart, a landmark that nods to the area’s maritime and industrial past while signaling its polished new identity of design-led architecture, waterside promenades and destination dining.Nordic flavors meeting French-inspired technique
The kitchen leans into modern European cooking with a distinctly Nordic pantry. Evening menus might bring you cured scallops with delicate sauces, vivid beetroot with smoked marrow, or a glossy beef fillet paired with confit celery and a rich Bordelaise-style reduction. Fish and shellfish feature prominently, with pan-fried cod and carefully sourced oysters often appearing, while house snacks like croquettes, tartare or caviar-topped waffles add a touch of indulgence before the main courses arrive. Much of the menu changes seasonally, mirrored by a lunch offer that can include refined plates or, in the dedicated smørrebrød concept at The Silo during the day, lavishly topped open-faced sandwiches. Throughout, presentation is polished but not fussy: bright sauces, crisp textures and precise seasoning showcase locally rooted ingredients interpreted through a French-accented lens.Skyline views and a dedicated cocktail floor
The restaurant’s defining feature is its cinematic outlook. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the dining room, creating the sensation of floating above the harbor. On clear days you can trace the coast of Sweden across the Øresund, watch ferries glide past Nordhavn’s quays and see the spires of central Copenhagen catching the evening light. As dusk falls, reflections shimmer on the water and the city becomes a patchwork of illuminated streets and cranes. One level up, a separate bar floor focuses on cocktails and lighter snacks. Here, bartenders mix both classic drinks and playful house creations, many built around Danish spirits and ingredients from islands like Bornholm. Draft beers, wine and non-alcoholic options round out the list, making it as suitable for a single pre-dinner drink as for a full evening perched by the windows with a plate of almonds, charcuterie or chips.Atmosphere, occasions and service rhythm
Despite its height and design pedigree, Silo’s mood tends toward relaxed sophistication rather than stiff formality. Couples settle into window tables for slow, multi-course dinners, while groups gather around larger settings for celebrations, work outings or long lunches that spill into coffee and dessert. Soft background music, low conversation and the clink of glassware shape an ambience that feels grown-up but not intimidating. The space adapts naturally to different times of day: lunchtime brings more natural light and a brigher, almost lounge-like feel, while evenings are about city lights and a more intimate glow from the interior. Service typically follows a modern Nordic style—informal in tone but attentive and knowledgeable about both the menu and the extensive wine and drinks selection.Practical details for planning a visit
Restaurant Silo generally opens for lunch around midday on most days and continues into the evening with dinner service, with later closing times on Fridays and Saturdays. Booking a table in advance is strongly recommended, especially if you are hoping for a coveted window seat or visiting at sunset. Expect prices that reflect the setting and level of cooking: multi-course menus and wine pairings place it firmly in the higher end of Copenhagen’s dining spectrum, with à la carte dishes and bar snacks offering some flexibility. Dietary needs such as vegetarian options can usually be accommodated if requested when reserving, and the building’s lift access makes the venue reachable for guests with limited mobility. Whether you come for a full tasting menu, a focused business lunch, or simply cocktails with a view, Silo offers a neatly packaged experience of modern Nordic city life—where industrial heritage, contemporary design and culinary ambition meet high above the harbor.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
