Cap Horn

This restaurant is the most popular one among the row of eateries near Nyhavn. They offer outdoor seating with heating, and tourists who feel cold can request to sit indoors. The indoor area is relatively warmer, but not warm enough to take off your coat completely. A diner at the next table confidently took off their coat after seating, only to feel cold again and put it back on after ordering… 🐟Fish & Chips This seems to be the main highlight on the menu. I’m not sure if the menu has changed, but when I visited, they no longer offered the lamb chops or steak that previous diners had posted online. I even showed the server a photo, but was told they don’t serve those items. The fried fish was done in a home-style way — the breadcrumb coating was relatively thin, allowing the flavor of the fish to come through. Diners get two pieces of fish, which is a decent portion. However, anyone who has dined at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant would know that even simple fish and chips can be elevated in creativity and execution. The sauce served with the fish and chips wasn’t as good as the one served with another main course: 🍔Beef Burger This dish had a more creative sauce pairing — the avocado 🥑 had a creamy, milky flavor that gave the fries a richer taste. The patty was made of ground beef, not whole-cut steak, and it was not fully cooked — parts of it were still raw. While raw beef can offer a smoother texture, diners who dislike raw meat may avoid this option. The burger came with raw arugula, which has a slightly bitter taste that helped balance the greasiness of the beef. 🧋Hot Chocolate Incredibly rich and intense — a must-try for those who don’t like coffee. A hot sip of this thick chocolate drink in cold weather instantly boosts your happiness. It even comes topped with cold milk foam, adding another layer of texture. The restaurant also has a very well-equipped restroom. There's hot water, soap, and even paper towels for drying your hands. However, the gender signs on the door are written in the local language, so tourists who don’t understand Danish may enter the wrong restroom by mistake. It’s recommended that the restaurant add clear male/female signage, especially since the place receives so many tourists. Overall, this restaurant offers well-prepared, high-quality food — it’s a safe choice with no unpleasant surprises. That said, it’s not the most cost-effective. You could get similar quality ingredients for about two-thirds of the price in Singapore, and even cheaper elsewhere. Of course, low value-for-money is a general issue in this area, not something unique to this restaurant.

Ordered several dishes, our favorite was the fish and chips, followed by the beef burger, great place to dine in and enjoy the scenery.

Great food and atmosphere. Beautiful to grab a bite to eat in the sunshine. Service was great too.

Very nice place to have dinner. All was excellent and fresh. Very nice waitress

Lovely traditional Nyhavn restaurant. The fish and chips were cooked to perfection and very enjoyable. The restaurant was very quiet when we visited (16.30hrs), which made the atmosphere a little formal but the staff were very friendly and the service was great.

The traditional lunch offer was perfect for us, all very tasty products, just the right amount to be full yet still have a small place for a (tasty!) dessert, a warm setup with a great view on the canal, and very friendly and professional service. Would come back for lunch any day!

My view is based on my Visit but I always recommend you try these outlets to make up your own mind. Our Vista in April 2024 was a last minute booking. The restaurant is lovely, the food was amazing. The only thing that let it down was the service. It wasn't too bad but just not attentive. We weren't offered a desert menu, and so we decide to go elsewhere for a coffee. I would and will go back because the food is excellent.

Amazing experience! Starting with a heartfelt welcome, table setting, service….absolutely outstanding. Fantastic atmosphere, extremely agreeable people to serve us, nothing comes short of being treated as royalties here in this rainy day spent here in Copenhagen. I would highly recommend to everyone, and I would return here on every trip in Copenhagen.
