Nyhavn 37 København

Pretty spot but food is average at best

There are standard Danish dishes, don't leave without trying them

Large portions, served quickly. Very tasty Italian pizza and fish & chips.

We’ve visited Copenhagen many times and, like most travelers, we know that Nyhavn is typically more about the view than the food. We’ve eaten at several spots along the canal before, and while the scenery never disappoints, the meals often do—usually quite plain, catering to tourists. So we were honestly surprised—pleasantly so—by our experience at Nyhavn 37. The food here was not only delicious, but thoughtfully prepared and full of character. It was so good, in fact, that we came back the same day for dinner after having lunch there! At lunch, we ordered two pizzas—one with mushrooms, and another with a mix of pepperoni and margherita. Both were crisp, flavorful, and surprisingly well done. We also shared a plate of Danish open-faced sandwiches (smørrebrød) with traditional toppings like herring, smoked salmon, egg and shrimp, and fried fish with remoulade. While the fish toppings were more on the mild side, the ingredients were fresh and well presented. Dinner, though, was the highlight. The mussels in white wine cream sauce were light and beautifully balanced, the calamari was perfectly crisp and tender, and the lobster was juicy and satisfying. Our toddler, Kaiden, happily devoured the pasta bolognese, and we all ended on a high note with a wonderfully smooth, caramelized crème brûlée—easily one of the best we’ve had on this trip. Compliments to Chef Rashan, who clearly puts care and creativity into each dish. His flavors had more depth and refinement than what we’re used to seeing in Nyhavn, where meals often feel rushed or basic. The service is what truly elevated the entire experience. Michael, the manager, was welcoming and attentive, making sure we had a cozy outdoor table and even bringing us blankets as the evening chilled. Andreas, Jasmine, and Tanvir were warm, upbeat, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do. They checked in often, made great suggestions, and created a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that made us want to linger. We’re so happy to have found a spot in the heart of Nyhavn that feels like ours. It’s heartwarming to know we now have a place we’ll return to again and again—where they know us, and where the food and service make every visit special.

We thought of visiting this restaurant for dinner while walking around and to escape from the cold weather. The service was prompt and the food was served on time. They don’t have much vegetarian options. We ordered the pizza and it was quite nice. The food is very expensive though as compared to other places around.

Good food. My wife had mussels and i had tenderloin steak. Both were well prepared.

food: fish plate was very good, perfect size for a afternoon snack for sharing service: friendly and attentive ambiente: nice to sit at nyhavn and enjoy the view

Good pizza with ham and white wine. Fast serving. Very nice and service minded waiters! Calm and pleasant atmosphere. Thank you very much for me, I would love to come back once I'm in Copenhagen again☺️

Really good pizza! Cosy place and nice stuff

Steak fillet was very tender and cooked perfectly, bearnaise sauce flavourful, fries just your average fries Nice enough atmosphere outside, warmed up next to the fire after a canal tour Valpolicella Ripasso was my wine, staff recommendation, lovely red wine very full bodied with strong berry undertones Cannot speak on the reviews claiming they charge for water as I didn't have any Waiter Michael caught me earlier in the day looking at the menu and was the main reason I came back as he was polite and pleasant in that brief conversation, I was lucky enough to have him serve me when I returned and with his recommendations and attitude made the whole experience lovely Dessert was less pleasant, chocolate fondant with mango puree, chocolate fondant was warm and tasty but both aspects tasted quite artificial and plating was unattractive, seeing as the desserts were quite cheap I can accept the compromise though No hidden fees as some of the other reviews I looked at claimed
