Cap Horn

Wonderful restaurant on the strip. Very good service and Very good food. Coming from the US, I was amazed at the quality of food and service we experienced here in the busiest area of Copenhagen. It should be a tourist trap, but it wasn’t. I’d love to come here again and again. See Photos

Cousy place with very friendly service. We were a walk in on Friday evening. The place was full but they still find us a table. Dish of the day was salmon with white and green asparagus. Was excellent. Fish row on a tiny potato pancake and drops of creamy cottage cheese with chopped parsley was an usual combination.
One appetizer, two main courses, one Kir Royal came to Euro 70. In comparison with Washington prices for similar place, service and quality of food, this is very reasonable.

Located on the super tourist-​trappy Nyhavn waterfront, Cap Horn serves okay food at a price point that’s extremely expensive by US standards for the quality but somewhat acceptable given the street and the city/​country. The service was friendly but a little slow and disorganized. The house beer was surprisingly good.

Really overpriced for the amount of food that we were given. Organic food is a plus but it wasn’t that unique. The service was friendly and quick, but I couldn’t get over the small amount of food for the price. $ 35 for ½ a lobster with about 6 bites worth of meat??? Definitely not worth it.

This is a really great late night eatery serving good Scandinavian food. Just be aware … it is not $$ unless $$ = $ 100 in Kobenhavn.
We arrived really late from CPH airport and was afraid I would not find anything open to eat. The story of our lives because during the holidays everything is more or less closed. Most of the good food was closed when I was in Kobenhavn for Christmas :(…
But we were super excited that Cap Horn was open until midnight! Their kitchen closes at 11pm though so please be aware. Cap Horn serves delicious fish/​seafood-​raw and cooked, and their staff are EXTREMELY friendly! Their white dover was awesome but definitely full of bones because its the entire fish … and the deer was deeeeelicious. Recommended as an easy, good eatery in Nyhavn.

The stars are for the location, service, sights, and sounds.
The food was ok, but expensive for what my wife and I got, which was 2 open face sandwiches (?), 1 beer, and 1 wine. It equaled to about 80.00 U.S. dollars.
It does get crowded there, as the tables are really close to each other, but it was still pleasant and not annoying.
It was convenient, because after we did the sightseeing tour by boat, we came back to eat here as recommended by my wife and it was close.

Very Danish quite traditional but in the middle of the tourists however this is where my Danish colleague recommends when we have people visiting from work so their always Frikadeller and the classic Danish lunch plate. A little to expensive for what it is and the food is quite basic.

Un restaurant bien sympathique et assez grand, très bien placé, puisqu’il est sur les quais du canal, là où se trouvent tout ces jolis immeubles colorés.
Dans l’assiette, ça n’était pas fou, mais c’était bon :)

Certainly recommendable. Very friendly hand helpful staff, our food was perfect and so fresh! The house beer is good too, but might not be everyone’s taste. The dish of the day was super and the burger they serve fantastic. The lovely view on the is the cherry on top! I’ll be back (terminator voice)

Nyhavn is not short on dining options and most will provide adequate sustenance but Cap Horn will go the extra mile and provide a memorable experience.
Sit under the canopies as long as you can handle the good chance that someone next to you will be smoking most of your meal or try and grab a window seat. You may still get occasional smoke but it’s not as bad as the outside seating.
The good is higher quality than should be expected in the tourist trap that is Nyhavn and the 3 course set menu is a nice way to taste several local dishes.
The staff is young but pleasant and cheerful.

Great place in the middle of Nyhavn. Went here for dinner on a Wednesday night during Copenhagen Jazz week. The ambience is very much «old» style Nyhavn with a lot of atmosphere. The food is very tasty, the presentation is excellent and the service is very good. It was very crowded, but otherwise a greta place to go to experience great Danish food in a relaxed setting.

Had a great dinner with friends, we were lucky to find this place because we went out a little late for dinner. The kitchen is open until 10 pm. A few of us had the Roebuck entrée which was delicious. Another got the dish of the day, a baked salmon, he loved it. We ate outside, it was a bit cold but they had heaters under the umbrella and nice wool blankets if you wanted them. Out waitress was great, all in all we had a great time.

Really nice place to have dinner here in Copenhagen!
Calm place, in front of a canal next to the opera Theatre and a metro station, we tried to est outside… and it was in an unexpected way warm!!! Long day until 9.40pm and silence really appreciated in a capital city!
So talking about the food, I had a Sole (entire) with green vegetables and potatos with butter… one main course and it was almost enough to be completely satisfied!
We finished with some typical Danish cheese, served with a dark bread and butter… And don’t forget to drink your Karlsberg beer :)

Dont come here for the food. Come here for the fantastic service, location, and environment.
In a city with such amazing food, this place is a complete let down. We had the top sirloin steak and it was hands down one of the worst steaks and meals I’ve had in Denmark. The quality was a tragedy. They served the steak with some outlandish things that in no way complemented the food. Neither my partner nor I enjoyed our steak or what was served with it.
Perhaps I tried the wrong menu item, but we were ledt with such a disappointing experience. The prices are steep and the quality did not match.
But this place is fantastic for groups. The service is quick and attentive. The environment is great. Just don’t order the steak… ever.

On my first night in Copenhagen, I stopped on Nyhavn for a late night beer and a bite. The place is epically charming. They were open late and the staff was so friendly and chatty, exactly what I needed following a long travel day. The fish and veggies tasted very fresh and the specially brewed Cap Horn dark beer was a real treat.

We had dinner here last night. It was recommended by our hotel’s front desk person. It’s on the street of restaurants on Nyhavn. There was seating outdoors and at least three dining rooms on different levels inside. We walked in w/​o reservations shortly after 6:30 and were surprised to find the inside crowded. Generally we have found Europeans to eat later. No matter. Our young hostess seated us temporarily at a small table to wait for a table to become available for us and after a fairly brief wait, one was, in the dining room above. I had ordered a glass of wine, so the woman who led us to our table carried it for me.
The furnishings and table settings are charmingly mismatched. My chair had a high, carved back and comfortable arms, while Alan’s had a lower back and ornately carved arms that looked like dragons – or lions – complete w/​eyeballs. I saw someone at an adjoining table reject a chair w/​a bentwood back in favor of something more substantial. There were large parties and small. Tall white candles burned in candle holders on each table. They are the old fashioned drippy kind and we watched in fascination over the course of the evening as the wax flowed down to the base of the candle holder and over the edge onto the paper that protected the white tablecloth. We were given menus to look over.
Alan ordered a strip steak and I ordered lamb. He had heard good things about their hamburger and asked if it were still available, but it wasn’t, past 5:00. His steak came w/​tiny roasted potatoes. He may have had vegetables too, but I forget. My lamb came w/​a tiny roasted beetroot that had been quartered, tiny French green beans and cooked apples. It was also to be accompanied by potatoes Anna, but I asked to substitute a mixed green salad and they accommodated my request w/​a delicious salad w/​sweet cherry tomatoes, walnuts and I forget what all else. The food here is organic. It’s beautifully prepared and presented. The lamb was tender and very flavorful, as was the steak. My vegetables were wonderful as well. Bread is extra and we ordered some. It was tasty but softer and less dense than we had hoped.
When we had finished our meal we asked our waitress to call a cab to take us back to our hotel. She sent us down to the corner to await the cab, then followed us down there to let us know she had had trouble reaching them and advised us to walk another block or so down to where they were more likely to be found. It was excellent customer service and addition to very good food. We walked down and immediately found one.

Sympathique restaurant sur un quai très touristique, mais sachant rester un peu authentique.
Plat du jour (saumon) excellent et dessert (compote de rhubarbe) délicieux!
Le cadre est chaleureux et le personnel (très jeune) est particulièrement sympathique et prévenant.
Arrivés sans réservation, nous avons patienté 30′ au bar sans voir le temps passer en dégustant une bière brassée exclusivement pour le Cap Horn et un verre de vin. Une fois installés à notre table, les plats sont arrivés rapidement et le reste de la soirée s’est très bien déroulé.

The only place in this area which is open for food after 10pm but that doesn’t mean the food was bad or late night junk food.
The beef was cooked as requested & my friend loved it.
The fish was delicious and the cabbage/​leeks made a great addition. A bowl of new potatoes were provided for us to share and were tasty.
A great meal & friendly staff.
When they get busy the staff are less attentive and service markedly becomes disappointing.

Für die zentrale Lage eigentlich recht günstig. Die Speisen sind gut zubereitet und die Bedienung umsichtig und sehr freundlich. Obwohl sehr touristisch, fühlt man sich nicht «ausgebeutet».
Draußen ist es ja sehr schön sitzen, aber drinnen ist es fast noch schöner und ganz besonders urig!

Went here for a private dinner on the top floor as part of a work event. The setting was nice — felt very tucked away from the cold temperatures outside and anything that felt super touristy. The service was good. We had a choice of homemade pesto pasta, beef and fish… I went for the homemade pasta and it rivaled pastas in Italy. The beef carpaccio appetizer was quite good as well — very fresh tasting. We went for a dessert sampler and they were rich and sweet. It was nice to have the cheese plate option as well. All in all, this was a very homey feeling restaurant with quality food and decent service.

Nettes kleines Restaurant, in sehr netter Umgebung (direkt am Kanal). Man kann sowohl drinnen als auch draußen sitzen. Das Restaurant hat sich dem «Organic» Standard verpflichtet. Das Essen war sehr gut, wenn auch die Karte überschaubar war. Aber lieber eine kleinere Karte und dafür Fokus auf die Qualität. Auch die Weinkarte ist überschaubar, bietet aber einen guten «Überblick» über die unterschiedlichen Weinregionen und der entsprechenden Richtungen. So dass eigentlich für jeden Fall etwas dabei sein sollte. Speziell der Service ist zu loben, sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend!

Food was good but service was terrible. No silverware silverware and the waitresses seemed too engaged in their gossip to cater to our basic eating needs. Also, we were the only table to not get a bread basket. Two people can easily spend over $ 100 for dinner. If that’s the case, like here, then I expect more in terms of service.

After wandering the streets of Copenhagen for about 4 hours, I was delirious. Right off the plane and on zero sleep, I wanted to get something quick for lunch before I could check into my hotel. Being from the dirty Jerz, I naturally checked Unilocal to see what was around and Caphorn came up. They offer only 2 options for brunch — I went with the eggs option. Food was OK. Tea was awesome. Service was very friendly but it took FOREVER to get my check. The best thing about this place was sitting down in a comfy seat outside and people watching. Also headed back here late one night with my client for some drinks and hot chocolate — they give blankets! My advice: wander the streets of Copenhagen to the left of Nyhavn facing the canal — you’ll find great spots hidden away in courtyards and basements that are worth not reverting to Unilocal reviews for.

Terrific food (and all organic, including the beer).
This restaurant is located in the tourist center of Nyhavn, so it can be a bit pricey but it’s well worth it compared to the other choices in the area. The food is creative and well-​prepared with only the best ingredients used.
I had the herring as an appetizer which was very nice — just a little sweet and served with red onions and capers on a rye crisp.
My main course was the lamb which was medium rare with a reduction sauce. It was served with roasted asparagus and a delicious mix of root vegetables served in a spice I couldn’t recognize but which perfectly complemented the lamb and sauce. The main course also included baby roasted potatoes which were OK.
I followed up with lemon mousse which was very good but had a very faint smell from being refrigerated too long. It was topped by meringues that had been toasted in the oven.
All in all, an excellent meal.

A nice little Restaurant with very Good dishes and servants. I will be back

Bön restaurant ouvert tard le soir.
service de bonne qualité.

Ein charmant rustikal eingerichtetes Restaurant mit ordentlicher Küche.
Man kann draußen sitzen, wenn es das Wetter zulässt und auf die Museumsschiffe im Nyhavn gucken. Decken und Heizstrahler sind vorhanden.
Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich, wenngleich die für uns zuständige Kellnerin ziemlich schwer von Begriff war, was dazu führte, dass wir sehr lange auf unser Essen warten mussten.
Wir haben dann halt zwei Flaschen Wein getrunken (frischer, fruchtiger Sauvignon Blanc, cirka 32 EUR).
Und wem die Speisekarte nicht zusagt, der findet links und rechts vom Cap Horn zahlreiche weitere Restaurants. h
