King Hans Cellar — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

Five stars all around! This place is absolutely magical! The food was amazing but that's not what really stood out to me. It's how everything just comes together in this place. When I entered the little door and went down the stairs, I was greeted as if I was a king, returning to his castle full of loyal staff. Waiters are plentiful and incredibly polite. They spoke kind of like you would in the 1950s which fit the vibe of the place very well I think. It's hard to explain but in Danish there is a certain way of addressing someone respectfully, which has been lost in the sands of time. But not here! Waiters are very attentive and quick to pull out a chair for you. It was like being in a movie. The chefs came out with some of the dishes to be served at the tables and since we were a larger group the waiters made sure to be enough people serve all of us at the same time, rather than serving one or two guests at the time.

The waiters were very good at explaining each dish, the food was fresh and the taste was out of this world.

Also... Glasses were NEVER empty.

Some people say the food is overpriced. And I get it. But you have to think of this experience as a whole. You're not just paying for the food. You're paying for premium service as well.

I'm not a fancy eater, and this is probably the best and finest food I will ever have in my entire life. I am very grateful for the opportunity to dine and drink here, and I hope to be able to do...

Classic French....does one need to say more? This restaurant is housed in a space built in 1413. It is a marvelous space, with the domed ceilings painted white. The service was impeccable, and the food absolutely scrumptious.

I will just highlight a few of the many courses. There was a sublime goose liver mousse with apricot and marjoram in a tart shell. There were scallops in a champagne sauce topped with caviar, turbot and Danish lobster, an unbelievable quail breast, cut at table side, and a roasted stag filet topped with a reduced sauce with blackberry. This food is sensational.

They have a fantastic cheese trolley, which we could not resist. Probably the most phenomenal part is the petit four trolley. I thought I had died and gone to dessert heaven!! Madelines - perfection. Macarons- yum. Poached pear cooked at table side with caramel sauce. I could go on... But I think you get the idea

This restaurant is magnifique!!

It is below street level at Vingardstraesse 6. Needless to say, reservations are a must. They have three levels of wine pairing, or you can get wines by the glass...

**“King Hans Cellar is the kind of place where the food does the talking — and what it says is nothing short of poetic. Every plate that landed on the table was executed with near-flawless precision. Think: scallops so tender they practically melt, sauces whispering layers of umami, and textures balanced like a symphony. The wine list? Encyclopedic. A sommelier’s playground — bold vintages, unexpected pairings, and deep cuts that show someone behind the scenes really knows their bottles.

Service was spot on — polished, present, but never hovering. They read the table like pros.

Now, the atmosphere. A little too quiet. Understated elegance or just... lacking soul? That’s up for debate. You don’t come here for a buzzing scene — you come for the craft.

Pricey? Definitely. But in Copenhagen’s fine-dining landscape, it holds its own. You’ll leave lighter in the wallet, but heavier with culinary memories. Perfect for a slow, indulgent evening where food and wine are the only things...
