Denmark House is a small piece of Denmark in the middle of Melbourne CBD. Offering the best of Denmark: wonderful Danish food, served in beautiful Danish design in a enjoyable atmosphere of Danish music and “hygge”, which translates as ‘coziness’.

The New Nordic cuisine is one of the leading gastronomic experiences in the world. Denmark House is part of this Nordic food
revolution and the restaurant and bar will provide you with a traditional yet modern Danish experience.

For lunch we offer 20 different kinds of “smørrebrød” – the traditional Danish open sandwich. You can choose your own selection or go for the tasting platter, a healthy lunch option when you fancy something different.

In the evening we serve a contemporary menu inspired by New Nordic cuisine with an emphasis on comfort foods so guests sample true Danish ‘hygge’ when dining at Denmark House.

The waiter needed help. He was fabulous but struggled with the volume of orders.

Very high standards have prevailed over the years at this institution. We went for a quick lunch and came away full enough to skip dinner. The Danish open sandwiches were beautifully executed and presented, and the special dessert of cherry comport and rice pudding was heavenly.

Great food, prepared in traditional style and meticulously presented, a bit expensive but worth it for a special occasion or just for the memories it brings back. Staff are friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and we ate at our pace, savouring the experience.

Felt like we were back home in Denmark for a moment there. The food, the atmosphere and the staff was amazing. Highly recommend the karry and the dill herring (and everything else)!

The Smorrebrods are to die for! Amazing selection, presentation and taste. The service is efficient. Cool place and the bar area is very cosy. (although would've liked a bigger selection of Danish beers). A little piece of Denmark in Australia.
