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.

Unfortunately a very poor experience on Valentine’s Day last night. Had a booking for 7:15, didn’t take until 7:45 to flag down a waiter to order drinks. Drinks served around 8 and we ordered our two entrees and mains at the same time. We didn’t hear back until 8:45 when our original waiter asked if we were waiting for anything, which was all our food. Our original waiter never put our order through so we were there for almost two hours and all was offered was dinner free of charge which was just before closing time. Very disappointed as we were really looking forward to the night, and you can’t just squeeze in another booking elsewhere.

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.
