Cool industrial-style restaurant in the former meat market serving simple, fresh seafood dishes.via Google

It stripped the pretension from fine-dining seafood, serving ultra-fresh North Sea catches in a raw, industrial former meatpacking warehouse.

Signature
Blue mussels steamed in local apple cider and herbs.

I’m British and this restaurant had the best fish and chips I’ve ever had so that’s says it all. Razor clams were also super fresh and creamy with the sauces. Service is friendly and well informed about the menu. The interior has a great style also. You can see into their kitchen and it’s clear how serious they take the care into their ingredients. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Copenhagen.

Here's a polished rewrite: >This seafood restaurant is a true standout for experiencing Danish seafood cuisine. The selection of oysters is impressive, with many varieties to choose from. The oysters we selected were exceptionally creamy and buttery—highly recommended. My favorite dish was the cold razor clam served with the house-special basil sauce. The sauce beautifully enhances the clam's natural sweetness, and the presentation is stunning, arranged like a delicate flower on the plate. Both visually appealing and delicious, it was a memorable dish.

Love the atmosphere, no matter if it's outdoor or indoor! The raw fish - cold starter, highly recommend to go with seasonal as it was so fresh, well prepared and seasoned! The hot starter - cod we tried was cooked perfectly, but the sauce was slightly overly salty. Grilling the turbot gave it more flavour but it was slightly overcooked. Love the bread and seaweed butter and the side greens.

Incredible experience here for lunch - so refreshing to find somewhere with such fresh, local and inspiring ingredients sourced based on what's available and in season, done in such an interesting way. I love seafood so much and to see they way they innovate and have so much choice was exactly what I didn't know I needed! The lions mane was one of the best mushroom dishes I've ever tried, great to see vegetarian options done so well as opposed to an afterthought. Wish I could try so much more on the menu, will definitely revisit when I'm back in Copenhagen. Service was great, wine selection was varied and interesting, wish I took a picture of the Pet Nat bottle! A perfect spot for casual and celebratory.

UPDATED ON 14 JAN 2026 a foodie friend told me since i love seafood so much i cant not have a meal Fiskebaren - im so grateful to him for pushing me here cuz my lunch experience was divine! im at the point in my life where while i live to eat and wouldnt think twice about splurging on good food, i have no patience for long drawn fine dining meals. i like my food “chef-y”.. big on flavour, technique and execution, but served quick and in a buzzy casual environment. Fiskebaren ticks all those boxes. i ordered a Bloody Mary - i feel the way a place makes this classic drink sets the tone for the meal ahead. thankfully this was an elegant rendition that doesnt taste like canned tomato sauce, served with two kinds of pickles. as a solo traveller with menu FOMO, id always make it a point to ask if restaurants with alacarte options only can do up a tasting menu so i can try more dishes. while tasting menus are the norm at Fiskebaren, Chef Jamie kindly did up a tasting menu for me when i visited on 29th Dec 2025. Unfortunately when i returned on 14th Jan 2026 i was told that the tasting menu experience Chef Jamie created for me was a one-off and that it wont happen again. sad but understandable. i ordered some AMAZING items from the alacarte menu and had a great meal anyway: oysters, bloody mary, razor clams, squid noodles, lobster, fig dessert. loved my experience here and will 100% go back over and over again if im in Copenhagen.
