A long overdue review for a place that left Lasting Impression of Danish Cuisine.
Even after years have passed, my memory of dining at Almanak in Copenhagen is as vivid as ever. My culinary journey through Northern Europe led me to this stunning restaurant, and I was immediately struck by its elegant design and well-thought-out decor. From the meticulous table settings to the beautifully curated menu, every detail was perfect.
The service was impeccable and a true highlight of the evening. The staff's ability to not only deliver each dish but also to passionately explain its preparation and ingredients added a layer of depth to the experience. Their positive energy and knowledge made the meal even more memorable.
I opted for the three-course menu, which was a masterpiece of Danish flavours. The salt and sugar cured pike perch with beans and rapeseed oil was fresh and delicate.
The main course, organic chicken with brown butter, carrot and elderflower, was a comforting and sophisticated dish.
The dessert—black currant, salt caramel malt, and tarragon—was so incredible that it seemed to disappear the moment it was placed in front of me.
The food was absolutely delicious, and I still commend the chefs for their masterful presentation of classic Danish cuisine. Even tho I missed a visit on my current trip, I am eagerly looking forward to returning to Almanak in the coming months, confident that the quality and integrity of their food remain just as exceptional as I remember.

We had ordered an early bird for the price, the food was fine.
There is only a wine list, it would have been helpful to have a list of other drinks as well, so the waiter has to try to remember which beers or sodas they have.
If you manage to get in, you can. If you come outside the opera's opening hours, it is almost impossible to find your way in.
All doors are locked, there is only a sign for a cafe that was closed. You have to call the restaurant so that an employee can come down and pick you up. It would save everyone time and resources if it was communicated that you had to call and where you had to stand to get in.
The view is nice from the restaurant, but better from the balcony.

Lunch before the show. Really delicious. And they opened a bottle of sauterne that was not sold as a single glass so that my wife could have a glass. The restaurant was empty even though the show was sold out.

A good concept with tapas and free wine, so you can taste a little different things. Good atmosphere and informal.

Great food, friendly staff, great atmosphere and view.
Staff forgot water and vine, had to ask for it multiple times.
Hence the four stars.
Would still recommend.

Almanac! The opera's dining room. For me and my experience, I would say that it is probably the most and only boring experience in the Opera. Maybe you could do something about it.
The food was not to my taste 😢 got 3 dishes. I won't go into detail as food is a matter of taste. However, I would like to say that the food was not bad, but just that the taste did not suit me.
The view from there is top notch 👌 you can't get better.

We tested the Opera bar to be able to enjoy the magnificence of the place. Danish architectural marvel with a monumental atrium and a view of the entire east bank of the grand canal and Amalienborg. Good choice of teas, coffees, lattes and cold drinks for a “Danish” price 😟
