Llama
A vibrant Latin American–inspired den beneath central Copenhagen, blending ceviche, tacos, cocktails and Copenhagen design into one lively night out.
Tucked into central Copenhagen just off Kongens Nytorv, Llama is a bold, Latin American–inspired restaurant from local group Cofoco. Inside, vividly patterned tiles, low lighting and colorful details create a lively, almost subterranean den for ceviche, tacos, anticuchos and flame‑grilled meats. The kitchen riffs on flavors from Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile and Mexico while leaning on Nordic produce, and the bar shakes pisco, mezcal and tequila into polished cocktails. Expect a social, upbeat evening spot rather than a quiet corner – a place for shared plates, late‑night energy and strong drinks.

Local tips
- Book ahead for Friday and Saturday nights, and consider an early evening sitting if you prefer a slightly calmer atmosphere and more space between courses.
- Lean into the sharing style: choose a mix of ceviche, tacos, grilled dishes and sides rather than individual starters and mains to experience the full range of flavors.
- The cocktail list is a highlight, especially pisco- and mezcal-based drinks; ask the bar to recommend pairings that match your spice tolerance.
- If you have dietary needs, mention them when booking; the kitchen can adapt many dishes for vegetarians, vegans or gluten-free diners with advance notice.
- Arrive a little before your reservation to enjoy a drink at the bar and take in the tiled interior and design details before the room gets busier.

Discover more about Llama
Latin American flavors in the heart of Copenhagen
Llama sits a few steps from Kongens Nytorv, but its spirit lies thousands of kilometers away along the Pacific coast and high Andes. The menu draws on Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile and Mexico, layering chili heat, citrus, herbs and smoke onto locally sourced Nordic produce. Ceviches land at the table bright with lime and coriander, while anticuchos – skewers of marinated, grilled meat or vegetables – carry deep, charred notes from the open flame. Instead of a rigid three‑course structure, the kitchen leans into sharing. Small plates, tacos and larger grills arrive to be placed in the middle of the table, encouraging a rolling feast. It is the sort of place where you might start with crisp tostadas and silky ceviche, move on to slow‑cooked beef or pork from the asado grill, and finish with something creamy and dulce de leche–laced.Design that feels like stepping underground in Lima
The interior is as considered as the food. Descending into the dining room, you are met by a statement floor of intricate tiles, patterned like a contemporary take on traditional Latin motifs. Walls in deep, saturated tones, scattered greenery and an open, glowing bar contribute to a feeling of being cocooned below the city. Tables are set close together, bringing conversations and clinking glasses into a single, vibrant soundscape. Low lighting and candle glow soften the room, while splashes of color keep things playful rather than formal. It is stylish but relaxed: a place for dressed‑up nights out that still feels easygoing.Cocktails, pisco and mezcal at the center of the evening
Llama’s bar is a destination in its own right. The shelves are lined with pisco, mezcal, tequila and regional liqueurs, which find their way into cocktails that balance smoke, citrus, spice and sweetness. Classic pisco sours, mezcal margaritas and seasonal signatures are tailored to pair with both fresh seafood and rich grilled dishes. For those who prefer something gentler, there are wines selected to stand up to chili and lime, alongside non‑alcoholic options that mirror the same bold flavor profiles. Later in the evening, especially on weekends, the restaurant leans further into its night‑spot personality with louder music, a fuller bar and a distinctly festive pace.Rhythm of the night: what a visit feels like
Evenings at Llama build gradually. Early seatings are often the most relaxed, suited to conversation over a tasting menu or a focused exploration of the cocktail list. As the night advances, the room fills with groups of friends and date‑night couples sharing platters and ordering another round from the bar. Service tends toward engaged and energetic, explaining dishes and suggesting how many plates to share without interrupting the flow. The central location means it works both as a main event and as part of a longer night in the city, especially with its late closing hours at weekends.Copenhagen roots with a South American soul
Although its references span the Latin American continent, Llama is firmly grounded in Copenhagen. Seasonal produce, Danish seafood and local suppliers underpin much of the menu, so a ceviche might feature fish from nearby waters while still tasting unmistakably Peruvian, and a grilled cut may combine Nordic beef with Argentinian‑style marinades. This fusion of place and influence is part of its character: not a purist regional restaurant, but a Copenhagen original that borrows and adapts. For travelers, it offers a chance to experience the city’s design‑led dining culture through a different flavor lens – one of lime, chili, smoke and late‑night color.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
