Local tips
- Book well in advance for prime evening slots, and note that seatings are timed; if you prefer a slower pace, aim for the later arrival window.
- Choose the longer tasting menu if you want to fully experience the sequence of surprise courses and wine or juice pairings.
- Mention any dietary requirements, such as vegetarian or gluten-free, when reserving so the kitchen can tailor the set menu.
- Request to sit downstairs if you like an extra-cozy, cellar-like feel, or upstairs near the windows for a bit more natural light.
- Consider ending with coffee or tea; it often comes with petits fours that nicely round off the tasting experience.

Discover more about Høst
Nordic harvest in the heart of Copenhagen
Høst takes its name from the Danish word for “harvest”, and everything about the restaurant flows from that idea. Tucked into a classic Copenhagen corner building on Nørre Farimagsgade, it channels the city’s modern Nordic food culture into an approachable tasting-menu format. Seasonal vegetables, local fish and carefully sourced meat are the backbone of the kitchen, treated with the kind of attention to texture and contrast that makes each plate feel thoughtful rather than fussy. Menus are set, with a choice of length, and courses are often interwoven with extra small servings that play on the same ingredients in different ways. A piece of lightly smoked scallop might be followed by a bite-sized crab or mussel surprise; a main of beef or lobster may be preceded by an intensely flavored broth. The emphasis is on clean, bold flavors, rooted in the Nordic pantry but open to wider European influences.Design that feels both rustic and refined
Høst’s interior is frequently cited as one of Copenhagen’s most beautiful restaurant spaces, and it has been recognized with international design prizes. Inside, raw brick walls, weathered wood and exposed beams are paired with sleek Danish design chairs, soft textiles and carefully placed greenery. The result is a space that feels like a modern country house transplanted to the city, with a balance of simplicity and warmth. Lighting is deliberately gentle: candles on the tables, subtle overhead fixtures and reflections from glassware create a soft glow that makes the pale ceramics and artfully plated food stand out. Downstairs rooms can feel like a cozy cellar, while upstairs tables near the windows catch more of the evening light. The design is not just for show; it also helps dampen noise, making it easier to focus on the food and conversation.A tasting menu experience with Nordic character
Dining at Høst revolves around set menus of several courses, with the option to add wine pairings or non-alcoholic juice menus. Expect delicately plated seafood, such as scallops or Nordic shellfish, alongside dishes built around root vegetables, herbs, berries and dairy. Sauces might be brightened with horseradish, dill oil or foraged elements, and desserts often weave in seasonal fruit and subtle herbal notes. Portions are intentionally moderate to allow room for the sequence of courses and extras, so the meal feels like a narrative rather than a single main event. Coffee or tea often arrives with petits fours, extending the experience in a leisurely way. The rhythm is unhurried but structured, with clearly timed seatings in the evening to keep service flowing while preserving a sense of occasion.Atmosphere, service and private spaces
Despite its fine-dining aspirations, Høst keeps the tone relaxed and informal. Staff are knowledgeable about the menu and Nordic ingredients, happy to explain compositions and suggest pairings without overwhelming guests. The room tends to buzz in the later evening, but the layout offers a mix of two-tops by the windows, larger tables and a small private room that can be reserved for intimate gatherings. The private dining room accommodates small groups in a more secluded setting, while a semi-private table suits slightly larger parties that still want to feel part of the main restaurant energy. While the restaurant’s focus is on dinner, it caters to both celebratory nights out and more casual evenings for travelers keen to sample New Nordic cooking without the formality of multi-starred venues.Location, setting and when to visit
Situated in Copenhagen K, not far from Nørreport, Høst is very much an urban restaurant, surrounded by classic stone facades, small shops and residential streets. Inside, however, the décor and the omnipresent greenery subtly evoke fields and forests, reinforcing the harvest theme even on a rainy city night. The space is compact enough to feel intimate but large enough that the different rooms have distinct moods. Evening is when Høst comes into its own, with the interplay of candlelight and twilight outside the tall windows adding to the atmosphere. In colder months, rich sauces, root vegetables and game-like flavors feel especially fitting; in spring and summer, lighter dishes with herbs, berries and seafood mirror the changing Nordic seasons. Reservations are essential, particularly at prime dining hours and on weekends, as the restaurant operates a tightly timed evening service.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
