The charm of the past with the flavours of today

Dating back to the 17th century, our historic building has seen centuries of Copenhagen's maritime life. A compass maker lived in Nyhavn 41. It can be seen on a stone slab above the street door. Once a bustling hub for sailors, merchants and craftsmen, today it's a cozy spot for modern dining by the canal.
