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.

Dinned before a show - conveniently connected with the opera and with a stunning view of Copenhagen. Efficient delivery of servings. Friendly and attentive staff, but not professional waiters, so a few mistakes, but nothing that ruined the experience. Good balance in price to quality, the food alone will not make it a destination restaurant for us.

Great view and atmosphere which gives "Windows of the World" vibes, with fantastic scenery overlooking all of Copenhagen. Sadly, I can't give it a better review, as the service experience was mixed.
One of the waitresses, by the name of Michelle, refused to let me see the menu beforehand and I have intolerances. I wasn't even infomed there were other courses beyond 3, since she originally told me that's all they have... but her coworkers stated otherwise. The other waitresses and waiters were wonderful and very accommodating. They tried to ask her (I assume, she's a supervisor of some kind since the others had to ask her, unfortunately) if any seafood, and she came back seemingly frustrated that I was asking if any fish or seafood was on the menu since I have an intolerance and her coworkers didn't seem too sure.
The food was fine but it is table d'hôte, so the whole menu is given based on the courses amount you choose. Seems to go up to 5 but never got a clear answer on that. I walked in with a Valentino bag and a Versace dress, easily one of the most formally dressed there, so I hope she wasn't profiling me in some way.

We went here for dining week but were very disappointed.
The food just wasn't good and the presentation was very mediocre.
The service was friendly although everything felt a bit rushed.
Do yourself a favor and get diner in one of the many better places in Copenhagen 🙃

We went for the Christmas feast menu and had a wonderful time. The server was extremely friendly and attentive. The food was carefully prepared and presented with interesting twists on Danish traditions which were all attentively curated. We loved the kale salad, egg salad, and duck especially and went home very full and happy.

I don’t even know what to start with…
We paid 1500kr for 3 person and got ultra small portions. Food is… nothing special, cold meat.
Wasted money, but the interior is nice.

Visited during ‘Dinner Week’ and enjoyed 10 course menu. The dishes were flavorful, nicely presented and well rounded. The unlikely winner was mustard and ham toast that was beyond delicious. The waffle with butter and cheese needs some uplifting as butter takes over. The staff was excellent and put an effort to explain (and find proper English words) for all ingredients.

I came here with my parents and husband before the Opera Peter Grimes. They weren’t sure we would have a table but luckily we managed to get one. The dinner was a 3 course meal using the seasonal vegetables. It’s was asparagus seasons and everything was delicious.
The view is very beautiful but unfortunately they are having lots of construction. The waiter said the they are building a new parking lot and a green area. I’ve heard that this might be one of the biggest operas in the world and the restaurant is a must! The main dish was deer and I am pescatarian and they will very accommodating and they served me Halibut. It was very good! I would definitely come back again!
