Det Gamle Røgeri

08/09/2026: Extremely impressive menu and exciting tastes. If you enjoy a world class gourmet experience, this restaurant is highly recommended.

06/09/2026: Our experience at Koan was truly exceptional from both a food and flavor perspective. We loved how the menu blended Korean influences with exceptional local seafood, creating dishes that felt unique while still being incredibly cohesive. I’ll never forget the lobster noodle, tofu and caviar, and bread courses; they were some of the standout dishes in my opinion. One thing that felt particularly distinctive compared with other restaurants we’ve experienced at this level was the use of spice and heat in a few dishes. That’s something I’ve found to be relatively rare in fine dining, and it was a refreshing departure from tradition that added another layer of excitement to the meal. The atmosphere was also stunning, and our table had a decent view of the kitchen, which allowed us to observe the coordination that goes into executing an evening in a high end restaurant. Koan will remain one of the highlights of our time in Copenhagen, and I hope to visit some of the chef’s other restaurant recommendations on future trips.
