Skagen - Koebenhavn

Loved this canal-side cafe. Nyhavn is very touristy and busy when the sun comes out. But we found an outside table and sat back. Herrings were delicious and the beer good. Service was charming and efficient. People queuing for tables.

Skagen is situated in the heart of Nyhavn, and is popular during the day when tourists gather up and down this picturesque part of Copenhagen. The food goes well with outside drinks in the sun, but also nice inside. Herring is especially nice.

I never eat at restaurants right in the tourist areas. The food is never good and always overprices. However, at Skagen I was blown away. We got a seat right on the street, and as it was during a summer heatwave, the area was filled with people and musicians. The vibe was fantastic. A waiter came to seat us straight away and he was fast and very friendly throughout the evening. For starters we had oysters and a seafood platter, which were both more than enough to be a meal on its own. For dinner we had the beef and a seafood medley. It was fantastic. Even though the restaurant is a bit pricey, it is to be expected sitting right on the waterfront in the busies part of Copenhagen. It is well worth the visit and I can definitely recommend it.

My boyfriend had ordered a beer, and unfortunately a hveps flew down in it: The sweet servant then picked up a brand new to him, although he had drunk half, without extra payment, super good service!

Our Swedish friends and we ate at the restaurant yesterday, and it was just amazing food and sweet and friendly service. It is recommended at the hottest, and it is certainly not the last time we come there.
