“ If you’re in Nyhavn, you definitely have to check out The Shrimp! This upscale restaurant is super convenient to reach and offers a unique atmosphere. Right when you step inside, you’ll notice it’s tucked away in a garden-like setting, complete with dim lighting that creates a romantic vibe. The decor is thoughtfully designed, and the seating is really comfortable. We decided to try the scallops, and let me tell you, they were a delightful surprise! The presentation was stunning—almost like a piece of art on the plate. The combination of flavors and the sauce was absolutely delicious. While the prices are on the higher side, my friend and I found it to be worth every penny. The entire dining experience was fantastic, from the ambiance to the quality of the food. So, if you’re looking for a memorable meal in a beautiful setting, I highly recommend The Shrimp. It’s perfect for a special occasion or a nice night out. You won’t be disappointed! ”

“ We were lucky to get an early dinner reservation on our first night in Copenhagen. We had our 7 month old with us and the wait staff was super accommodating and friendly about us having her there (we would have taken her out if she got fussy) especially since it was a super nice restaurant. The vibes were amazing with the tall ceilings, courtyard feel, and great lighting. The food was incredible. We had these potato focaccia rolls with lime whipped butter that were absolutely the best things I've ever eaten. Steaming hot. The cocktails were perfectly made. I had the hake and my husband had the beef tartare and we shared the scallops. Everything came out quickly and the service was friendly. Our waitress schooled us in saying thank you and thank you so much on Danish as well. ”

“ The service was excellent — the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. We ordered the scallops, beef tartare, and haddock — all were beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Even the complimentary bread served with the meal was delicious. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended! ”

“ Amazing resturant in the heart of Copenhagen with an amazing atmosphere. Food and service was absolutely on point and from our interaction with waiters, server and seater you clearly get the vibe that this is a great place to work and hence a great place to dine. You can get better food elsewhere, but for the price I have no complaints. Only thing that took this place a peg down was that when paying with card you are asked to enter the amount of the tip when you expect to enter your pin... I was not warned by staff about this exceptional process and was about to give several thousand in tips Please do not add Tip in the payment process. Tipping should be voluntary based on an expressed wish not set up as the default option after accepting the amount ”

“ We stayed at the Hotel SKT Anne, where this hidden gem of a restaurant is located. The included breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a variety of food, including pastries, cheeses, breads, proteins, yogurts and coffee drinks. Which were all very good. After a long day of walking the city, we decided to have dinner here. The dinner was reasonably priced, and excellent. The service was great. It was not very busy. The atmosphere is also very nice. You are surrounded by live plants. Very relaxed. If you want a break away from the crowds and have a nice dinner, this is the restaurant for you. ”

“ I discovered this charming spot by chance while planning my trip to Copenhagen. Tucked away in the bustling Nyhavn neighborhood, the restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with warm, authentic service. We visited The Shrimp on a Tuesday evening, and the restaurant was not busy at all—likely because the weather was lovely and most locals seemed to be enjoying the summer evening outdoors before the rain returned. This gave us the perfect quiet setting to savor our meal. As a welcome from the kitchen, we were served complimentary shrimp tartlets—delicate, flavorful, and a lovely way to begin the evening. The fresh, still-warm potato bread with creamy butter was another highlight. For starters, I ordered the tuna tartare. While the tuna was exceptionally fresh with a beautiful pink hue, the dish could have used a bit more seasoning to bring it to life. My friend had the octopus, which I must admit I preferred—generously portioned and flavorful enough to serve as a shared starter or even a main. For the main course, I had a beautifully cooked white fish—moist, flaky, and perfectly paired with vegetables and a velvety white sauce. My friend’s beef dish was cooked exactly to his liking and looked equally impressive. All in all, it was a very enjoyable dining experience. If you’re in the Nyhavn area and looking for good food in a laid-back setting, this place is definitely worth a visit. ”

“ I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely spectacular—each dish was finely crafted and full of incredible flavor. You can really tell the care and skill that went into every plate. The service was excellent as well; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The ambiance was beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made the whole evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommended! ”

“ Beautiful hidden restaurant! I visited it Thursday evening and it wasn't crowded, I got a table without reservation without any problem. Service and food is on top, menu card is short, but well composed. I tried oysters and ravioli. Definitely something to recommend if you are looking for romantic place for a date ”
